Oregon (11-2, 8-1) will be participating in the 106th Rose Bowl Game on January 1st, 2019 after claiming a decisive 37-15 win over Utah (11-2, 8-1) in the Pac-12 Championship Game on Friday night. Against the nation’s top rush defense, Oregon rushed for 239 yards, the most allowed by Utah this season, and three touchdowns. CJ Verdell led the way for Oregon, as his 208 rushing yards and three touchdowns solidified his spot in Oregon history as the third Duck to ever rush for 1000-plus yards in his freshmen and sophomore campaigns.

With a variety of play-calling and proper execution of the calls, Oregon ran out of the gates, shocking the country’s fifth-ranked team by building up a 20-point halftime advantage. Those 20 first-half points were the most the Utes gave up all season long. Oregon’s defense suffocated the conference’s top third-down offense, holding Utah without a third-down conversion in the first half.

With the win, Oregon earned their eight ever…

Offensive Coordinator Marcus Arroyo and Defensive Coordinator Andy Avalos met with local media on Tuesday, December 3, 2019. The two head coordinators spoke about the upcoming matchup with the #5 Utah Utes at Levi's Stadium for the Pac 12 Championship. Kickoff is set for 5 pm on ABC. The Ducks are coming off a lackluster offensive performance in their last regular season game at Autzen Stadium last week and will look to improve to 11 wins for the first time since 2014 when the Ducks made it to the inaugural College Football Playoff. The defense will have their hands full with Zack Moss and Tyler Huntley of Utah. They gave up 10 points against Oregon State in their regular season finale and gave up fewer 15+ plays, something that plagued Oregon in their loss to Arizona State 2 weekends ago.
