PLAYERS TO WATCH BY: Kylee O’Connor @kyleethemightee
Oregon Wide Receiver: Taj Griffin Head coach Willie Taggart mentioned that he wants to get Griffin more involved in the offense during his press conference on Monday. “We’ve got to continue to find ways to get him the ball,” Taggart said. “ e kid is very talented and electrifying when he has the ball in his hands.” Taj has been both a slot receiver and a running back for the Ducks this season. But with the strong backfield of Royce Freeman, Tony Brooks-James and Kani Benoit, Griffin has primarily been in the slot position. He had his best performance early in the year against Wyoming, combining for 55 yards of offense, including a receiving touchdown.
Cornerback: Arrion Springs Springs had three total tackles and three broken up passes in the Ducks’ win over Utah, and he currently leads the Pac-12 with 14 passes broken up. Going against the Huskies’ volatile offense, the senior will have many chances to be a game changer in the Oregon secondary. Washington also leads the Pac-12 in total defense, allowing just 236.2 yards of offense per game, so the Ducks need Springs and the rest of the secondary to have a big game if they are going to stand a chance.
Washington Running Back: Myles Gaskin A first team All-Pac-12 in 2016, Gaskin tallied 169 rushing yards against UCLA last week. He is currently sixth in the Pac-12 in average rushing yards per game at 99.4. Gaskin has scored nine rushing and two receiving touchdowns for the Huskies in their 11 games, so be on the lookout for him in the endzone.
Wide Receiver: Dante Pettis Pettis leads the Pac-12 with three punt return touchdowns this season. He is also tied for the NCAA record in career punt returns with eight. With the Oregon offense rarely sustaining long drives, Pettis could have more opportunities to make something happen on special teams. e senior wide receiver also has 484 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns this season, so he is a legitimate target for Washington quarterback Jake Browning as well.

DEEP DIVE:
WASHINGTON BY: Zak Laster @zlast3445 PHOTO: Emerald Archives
Oregon Ducks running back Tony BrooksJames (20) catches a pass for a touchdown.
Oregon avoided a winless October by beating the Utah Utes 41-20 last week, but the Ducks face their toughest road game of the season on Saturday against the No. 12 Washington Huskies. is will be Oregon’s biggest offensive test this season. Only Alabama has a higher ranked total defense; but an argument could be made that the Huskies defense has been more efficient. ey’ve surrendered just two more yards than Alabama all season, but have faced 36 more plays. Head coach Willie Taggart has not faced the Huskies, but Oregon co-offensive coordinator and offensive line coach Mario Cristobal saw them with Alabama last season. “ ey’re real big and physical on defense in the interior,” Cristobal said. “ ey control the guards and centers and make plays bounce to free up a lot of guys. e thing is, they get off blocks, and when they tackle you, they tackle you on the spot. It’s not like a collision plus two or three yards.” e Huskies enter Saturday having only surrendered 11 touchdowns to opponents and have scored 11 defensive touchdowns, which ranks fourth nationally. “ ey’re very fundamentally sound, play physical as can be,” Cristobal said. “ eir linebackers are fast, explosive guys that get downhill … a very well prepared defense.” Saturday’s 7 p.m. kickoff is nothing new for either team. e Huskies have played just one game before 5 p.m. all season, and it was against UCLA last week. Oregon has had three games kickoff at 7 p.m. or later. Seattle has become a difficult place for teams to pick
up a win in recent years. Visiting teams have a record of 8-20 since the stadium was renovated at the start of the 2013 season. e Ducks are responsible for two of the eight Huskies’ home losses. Huskies head coach Chris Petersen relies on his junior quarterback Jake Browning, who ranks 51st in the nation in passing yards with 1,703. is season, he has thrown 14 touchdowns and four interceptions. Myles Gaskin carries the ball for the Huskies and ranks 24th with 795 rushing yards and eight touchdowns. e kicking game has struggled for the Huskies this season. Tristan Vizcaino is 2-of-7 on field goals from 30-49 yards, but is perfect on his five attempts inside 29 yards. Van Soderberg has only attempted kicks less than 29 yards and has missed two-of-three. Kicking extra points hasn’t been a problem though, as the two have combined for 39-41. e Ducks opened the week as a 26-point underdog, their largest spread since 2004 against an Adrian Peterson-led Oklahoma team. As of Wednesday, the line had dropped to 17.5 points. e initial spread likely had to do with Oregon’s uncertainty at the quarterback position. e memories of the Huskies 70-21 beatdown of Oregon linger as well. “It definitely stuck with us — something that they’ve talked about since they’ve got here.” Tony-Brooks James said of the coaching staff. “ e score is posted inside the weight room every day, so it’s a constant reminder, and now it’s their week so we kinda go extra harder.”

Q&A WITH WILLIE TAGGART BY: Gus Morris @JustGusMorris | PHOTO: Adam Eberhardt Do you bring up last year’s loss to Washington to this team or was that last year’s team and it’s a different situation now? at was last year’s team. I don’t think I really have to bring up anything about that game. I think that’s a sorry taste in everybody’s mouth. Our guys understand that we can’t play that way if we want to beat this football team. We’ve got to play a hell of a lot better, and you do that by preparing really well and then going out and giving it everything you got. Herbert was listed an “or” on the depth chart this week, any update on his status? He’s competing. He’s out competing and getting better and looking really good. Really good. When is the deadline for when you can decide if he’ll play or not? I guess before the game. Before we kick off. You said he could’ve played last week and talked about how no doctor said he couldn’t play. Is it up to you now about when he plays? Nah, I think it’s in Justin’s hands and the Good Lord’s to make sure he’s healed and ready to go. Again, we won’t know until we go out there and he takes a hit. We won’t know until the game because he won’t get hit in practice; no one will touch him or breath on him or nothing. Have the doctors cleared him? Have they told you the decision is up to you? e doctors told us where he is, and Justin told us how he’s feeling,
Oregon Head Coach Willie Taggart leads the team through the courtyard of the HatfieldDowlin Complex during the march to victory.
and he goes out in practice, and he’s performing really well. If you had seen him in practice yesterday, you would have been like, “OK, he’s ready.” But like I said the other day, we’re not going to put him out there unless he’s healed and ready to go. We’re not going to jeopardize our franchise. How is Jake Browning different from other Pac-12 quarterbacks? He’s shorter. He’s shorter, but he’s smart and he understands their offense and what they’re asking him to do. He doesn’t make a lot of mistakes. eir football team doesn’t make a lot of mistakes and that’s the sign of a good football team. How do you feel about rivalry games? I know coaches try and treat them all the same, but do you appreciate the history? You do. And our guys understand how important it is when you’re playing these games. I said the other day, “Every game is a rivalry.” I think once you start getting up and down for a game then you don’t become the football team that you want. You look at a team like Alabama; I guarantee that every game they play is a rivalry. We understand the importance. Hell, Washington is the team [to beat] in the conference. at’s the team you want to beat. On top of that, just past history. It’s gonna be spiced up, I think more for fans and you guys [the media]. But we understand, I know our guys understand what Washington is all about and what we need to do when we go up there.

DUCKS DESPERATE TO BEAT HUSKIES AFTER 2016 DISASTER BY: Shawn Medow and Cole Kundich PHOTO: Emerald Archives

A bitter taste 70-21. It’s a scoreline that still haunts many Ducks. e players see it every day. “It definitely stuck with us,” running back Tony Brooks-James said. “It’s something that [the coaches] have talked about since they got here. e score is posted inside the weight room every day. It’s kind of like a constant reminder.” After the Ducks were humiliated by Washington at Autzen Stadium last season in one of the Oregon programs worst defeats, the team began to crumble as the Ducks finished the season 4-8, ending with a loss to Oregon State. Now, the Ducks will look to avoid a repeat of the disastrous loss when they play the Huskies in Seattle on Saturday. “It wouldn’t be a rivalry if they never won, so that was good for them,” cornerback Arrion Springs said. “ at was a good year for them, a bad year for us — it just happened to be their best year and our worst year — so good for them.” e storied Pacific Northwest rivalry hits close to home for many. Portland native Brady Breeze remembers growing up watching bouts between the Ducks and Huskies. “ e rivalry is unlike anything else,” Breeze said. “ e past 13 years, [Oregon] has been 12-1, so we’re just trying to get that vibe back and get our progression back for our defense and our offense as well so hopefully we can get a win this weekend.” e rivalry feels fresh with a new Oregon coaching staff for 2016-17. While Oregon’s wounds are still healing after last year’s thrashing, head coach Willie Taggart is approaching Saturday’s game in a different way than his players. “I won’t use it as motivation, maybe our players will,” Taggart said. “I’m gonna stay focused on us, and trying to get us better and doing the things we need to do in order to win the ballgame. I’m sure any competitor out there, though, wouldn’t forget what happened and wants to make sure they’re at their best when they go and play that opponent again. “ at’s our job this week is make sure we’re at our best and see to it that what happened last year doesn’t happen again.” Last season’s loss cut a little deeper than normal because of the intensity of the OregonWashington rivalry. e 2016 Washington Huskies made it to the College Football Playoff, but that didn’t soften the blow of the loss. “It’s just one of those games where everything seems to not go your way,” then-safety Brenden Schooler said after the game. “Everyone’s gonna
remember that one.” Even with defeat, it was then-true freshman Justin Herbert’s first start at quarterback. e Eugene native went 21-of-34 for 179 yards, throwing two touchdowns and an interception. He’s grown since then, but a fractured collarbone has kept him out of the last four games. According to Taggart, Herbert could have played last week against Utah. A week later, he could be set to return to action against the Huskies. Herbert’s return would serve as a big boost for the Ducks’ offense. Like last year, Oregon has a freshman starting quarterback. is time, it’s Braxton Burmeister. Taggart hinted at Herbert’s return the past two weeks, but no official word has come from the program yet. Taggart could wait until kickoff to make a decision on who starts

at quarterback. Whether Herbert plays or not, the hype around Oregon versus Washington is always fiery. When the season’s schedule is released each year, fans immediately look to see when the Ducks play the Huskies. But for Taggart, it’s just another game. “I know the feelings when it comes to Oregon and Washington. I’ve heard that from day one — what it’s like,” Taggart said. “I don’t consider this like the first rivalry game. I think every game we play is a rival game, and that’s the way it’s got to be if we’re going to get to where we want to go. We can’t just make one game bigger than another. If we do that, we’ll never get to where we want to go.” Forever foes
“Will you beat Oregon?” at’s what Chris Petersen was asked on Dec. 9, 2013 during his introductory press conference as the head coach of Washington. He chuckled. “Do we have to talk about that already?” Petersen said. Yet to familiarize himself with his new team, construct his coaching staff or build a recruiting class, Petersen offered the only response possible at the time. “We’ll be swinging hard,” he said. It was a funny and lighthearted moment, but it’s no joke now. Less than four years later, Washington has risen to one of the top programs not only in Pac-12, but across the country. Now, it’s the Ducks that are chasing the Huskies. As the head coach at Boise State for eight years, Petersen turned the Broncos into one of the most successful and exciting teams to watch in the nation. He’s done the same with Washington. If things shook out differently, he could have been doing the same at the helm with Oregon. Petersen interviewed for the head coach opening with the Ducks after Chip Kelly left for the NFL in 2012. Petersen had spent six seasons as an assistant for Oregon under head coach Mike Bellotti from 1995 to 2000, but the job was ultimately given to the Ducks’ in-house candidate, Mark Helfrich. Instead, Petersen ended up 300 miles north with Washington, and the balance of power in the Pacific Northwest has flipped drastically. While the Ducks sputtered to a 4-8 record in 2016, the Huskies rolled to a 12-2 mark, punctuated by a 70-21 thrashing of the Ducks at Autzen Stadium. Washington’s impressive season included a Pac-12 championship and representing the conference as the No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoff. e result? Washington has kept it rolling, sitting at 7-1 heading into Saturday’s matchup. Beating the Ducks used to be all that mattered for Washington. Now? Just another game. “We try to always be the same. We always just try to worry about ourselves,” Petersen said. “We hope our approach doesn’t change from week to week.” On the other side, Oregon has restructured its coaching staff in hopes that they’ll be able to right the ship. One thing is certain: Taggart won’t have to look far for inspiration to see how a program can turn around in just a few years. Until it’s accomplished, the question of whether Oregon can beat Washington will always remain.

Safety Brady Breeze (25) tackles a Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley.
BRADY BREEZE: A PHYSICAL FORCE BY: Jack Butler @Butler917 PHOTO: Adam Eberhardt In Oregon’s victory over Utah last week, a first-half drive from the Utes brought them near Oregon’s goal line with a chance to tie the game. Utah failed on its first two attempts at the end zone and faced a 3rd-and-5, and that’s when Oregon safety Brady Breeze blitzed. He came unblocked around the edge and had a free shot at the quarterback, who only saw him right before Breeze pummeled him. e throw sailed wide, and Utah walked away with only a field goal. For Breeze, it was an opportunity to show one of his best talents — his physicality. “I made it count,” Breeze said. Breeze is a redshirt freshman from Portland, Oregon, who saw the field early this season on special teams. He made plays, and he showed he is a physical player who loves to punish opposing players with big hits. Now he’s making plays on defense, and he even started last week against Utah. “I thought I did good,” Breeze said. “I feel like

mentally I didn’t really have many mistakes, and then physically, I was definitely trying to bring the wood, so I definitely thought I did good.” He had another big hit on a Utah running back later in the game, further proof of how he seeks out physicality. It was the way that Breeze was taught how to play. “ at’s just always the way I’ve been playing since I was a little kid,” Breeze said. “My dad and my uncle both taught me the most physical guy on the field is always going to come out with the win.” Head coach Willie Taggart has praised his effort on special teams this season, stating that he even gets mad when the stadium announcer announces the wrong name on the tackle, giving credit to someone else. Special teams was a place to channel his natural physicality. “I think playing on special teams really helped him just understand the speed of the game and getting confidence in himself, and now it’s starting to pay off for him as he plays the safety
position for us,” Taggart said. Breeze knows that being physical is an important attribute for a safety. When he plays, he wants the wide receivers to know that he’s lurking in the middle of the field, waiting for them to cross him and get hit. “Definitely puts a little fear in the receivers’ eyes,” Breeze said. “I feel like being a physical safety is one of the most crucial parts of the game because you don’t want receivers catching the ball across the middle knowing that, ‘Oh, nobody is going to hit me. I can make this for sure catch.’” It’s important for Breeze to continue to develop as he gets more playing time. He may not start every week or see most of the snaps, but he’s earned the trust of his teammates. “He’s understanding, and he’s been a great enforcer for us back there in the secondary,” senior safety Tyree Robinson said. “For me, if I can’t go on a blitz ... Brady is definitely the guy to come in and set the tone.”

STRIVING
FOR A BOWL GAME BY: Zak Laster @zlast3445 | PHOTOS: Adam Eberhardt e Ducks not only ended their four-game losing streak with a win over the Utah on Saturday, but they also increased their chances of making a bowl game. e Ducks didn’t qualify for a bowl last season for the first time since 2004. Poor performances started during the Alamo Bowl at the end of the 2015 season when Oregon surrendered a 31-point halftime lead in an overtime loss to TCU. It only got worse last season as the program further unravelled. e Ducks finished 4-8 and saw their eight-game Civil War win streak snapped. When head coach Willie Taggart arrived, he was tasked with changing the culture of a program that hasn’t experienced losing many games this decade. “Usually that culture is all negativity and just no energy or excitement,” Taggart said. “One thing we try to do is be positive, energetic and focus on the things to we need to get better, not overall on the losing.”
Rebuilding programs is nothing new for Taggart, who improved the culture and win totals at each of his two head coaching jobs. Western Kentucky was winless before he arrived, and they won seven games in his last season. He inherited a three-win team at South Florida and won 11 games in his final season before heading to Eugene. “We focus us on the things that are causing us to lose and work really hard on it,” Taggart said. “A lot of times it’s a challenge because it’s not just the players; it’s coaches as well.” For the Ducks to qualify for a bowl game, they need to find one win over their last three games. at’s going to be hard to come by as their next two games are against ranked opponents. Next up is No. 12 Washington, which has one of the best defenses in the nation. en following a bye week, they face No. 25 Arizona, whose quarterback, Khalil Tate, is electrifying the nation with his long touchdown runs . e regular season ends with Oregon State, the worst team

in the Pac-12 this season; however, the Beavers are playing with an interim head coach and a new energy. Whether or not a Pac-12 team is selected for one of the New Year’s Six bowl games, or the College Football Playoff, it will factor into where the Ducks could play in a bowl game. e likely scenario, if they qualify, is that the Ducks will play in either the Las Vegas Bowl against a Mountain West opponent, or the Motel 6 Cactus Bowl against a Big 12 opponent. Getting back to a bowl game allows a rebuilding team additional time to grow, more practices and gives seniors like Arrion Springs a chance to punctuate their career. “Bowl games are always fun,” Springs said. “ e teammates being around each other and all the comradery is the best part of it. We just go out and do things as a team. Just to play one last game — when everybody knows it’s the last game — it’s just like one big last hurrah.”

OFFENSIVE LINE QUIETLY DOMINATES BY: Jack Butler @Butler917 | PHOTO: Adam Eberhardt
e offensive line listen to plays from the coaches on the sideline.
We now know the key to Oregon winning a game if Braxton Burmeister is quarterback: utterly dominate in the running game. If you look at the stat sheet for Oregon’s 41-21 win over Utah, you’ll see a rushing attack that was unstoppable. It was an extremely impressive performance on the ground, and one the Ducks needed to get their offensive mojo back. Entering the season, Taggart was confident in his offensive line’s ability to perform. He said that was the unit he is least worried about. ey’ve got a quality group from end to end, while the best part is the two tackles. Left tackle Tyrell Crosby and right tackle Calvin rockmorton have been two stalwarts on the line. “Calvin’s had a tremendous season, and I think both those guys — their approach to the game, the way they practice and their football IQ, combined with their energy — they’re helping us get better and better each week offensively,” offensive line coach Mario Cristobal said.

Crosby, who was named to the Pro Football Focus midseason All-American team, is having a very productive senior season. Many believe he is the best tackle in the nation. “I do,” Cristobal said. “You always try to remove yourself, so that you’re not biased and it doesn’t come across like you’re gushing over a guy, but I can say that without any reservation. “Anytime I address his play, I just tell people to turn on the tape and watch him perform, watch him execute.” e offensive line helped Oregon to 347 rushing yards, a number that is impressive on its own, but more impressive against Utah. e Utes entered the game as the second-best rushing defense in the Pac-12, allowing 133 rushing yards per game. Running backs Royce Freeman and Tony Brooks-James each ran over 100 yards. “I was kind of surprised we ran for that many yards,” Brooks-James said. “In the same sense, if you’ve got a great backfield like this,
it’s kind of what you do.” Most impressively, Oregon had only one rush for negative yards. If Burmeister is going to continue to play, the offensive line will need to continue to perform like they did against Utah. It’s not just on the offensive line; the tight ends help with blocking as well. Jacob Breeland, Cam McCormick and Ryan Bay all contributed to Oregon’s rushing success. “You can’t live in the open edge lifestyle offensively because there’s answers to that,” Cristobal said. “If you have a tight end that creates the extra gap, then you can make a dent at the line of scrimmage, and you’ve got yourself a complete offense.” Even if quarterback Justin Herbert returns, the offensive line is important, and their performance often goes unnoticed. “When you play offensive line, you’re in the service industry,” Cristobal said. “You’re unselfish and you do things so that others can have success.”
