The Oregon Ducks have been great on home turf with a 23-2 SU record in their past 25 games at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks will look to continue their home dominance when they host the Utah Utes Saturday in the first game of conference play for both teams.
- Oregon’s defense has been a big issue this season, allowing 33.7 points per game.
- Utah is 6-of-7 in fourth down conversions this season.
- RB Devontae Booker is averaging 4.1 yards per carry and 9.0 yards per reception.
After resting starting quarterback Vernon Adam Jr. last week, Ducks coach Mark Helfrich is expected to go with the senior signal caller Saturday though no official announcement has been made.
It is a similar story on the Utes sideline as they rested regular starting quarterback Travis WIlson last week with no announcement if he will suit up this week.
The line has taken a lot of the week to hit the board thanks to the question marks around the quarterback play. The line hit the board Thursday and has since shifted to Oregon -11.5.
