Of course the Ducks are the much better team but that is a ton of points to lay in their first road game. There is no question that WSU is better than they looked in their first two games and at least got some confidence back over Portland State.

The Cougars strength matches up well the Ducks weakness. The Ducks have surrendered some mileage through the air, which might need to be improved upon against Cougars. Over the last two weeks, Oregon has allowed 627 passing yards and four passing scores. Overall, it yielded 905 scrimmage yards to Wyoming and Michigan State, and seven plays of 30-plus yards in three games.
