The Oregon Geese are trying to find revenge this week in opposition to the Utah Utes.
After being completely dominated and outplayed twice in three weeks final 12 months, Dan Lanning’s squad desires to point out that it is a new group with a brand new objective.
They will get an opportunity to try this when Kyle Whittingham and the defending Pac-12 champion Utah Utes go to Autzen Stadium on Saturday.

Prediction: Oregon 42 Utah 36
Every week in the past, the Geese felt invincible. An eight-game win-streak, and scoring at the very least 40 factors in every of these wins can do this to a group and its supporters.
However Dan Lanning and the Geese got here crashing again all the way down to earth on Saturday with an totally heartbreaking 37-34 loss to the rival Washington Huskies. However the world remains to be spinning 4 days later. And it’ll proceed to spin as Autzen Stadium welcomes its fourth ranked opponent of the 12 months within the No. 10 Utah Utes.

Oregon’s Faculty Soccer Playoff Goals could also be lifeless. However there may be nonetheless an amazing likelihood to make it to the Pac-12 Championship Sport – and to the Rose Bowl with a win there. Oregon and Utah are at the moment tied for the second spot within the championship with a .857 successful report.
Utah has scored at the very least 42 factors in 5 of their final six video games, and the reminiscences of final 12 months’s back-to-back beatdowns on the Geese are pretty contemporary. However I see the Geese utilizing that to begin a model new dwelling win streak by beating the Utes.

Final weekend was a troublesome one to look at for those who had been an Oregon fan. You fell to the Huskies in a really winnable sport. Wanting onto this week the Geese have the privilege to host the Utah Utes, who’re additionally making an attempt to make their option to Las Vegas for the convention championship.
Utah will give Oregon some hassle everywhere in the subject, however totally on protection. Being in week 12 and having see little change within the passing protection, I feel that is the place it’s going to damage Oregon essentially the most, particularly with the receivers and tight ends Utah has together with one other gifted quarterback coming into Autzen in Cam Rising. Tavion Thomas can also be a particular expertise within the backfield.

Washington has been one of many solely groups to provide Oregon hassle whereas the Geese had been on offense early on within the sport, which ended up benefiting them down the stretch. If Oregon can fireplace off rapidly on offense all sport lengthy, I feel the Geese have a very good shot at beating Utah, even when the protection hasn’t improved.
Scroll to Proceed
Oregon has the good thing about with the ability to cease the run somewhat than masking a receiver whereas enjoying virtually 10 yards off of them. Utah has t third-best speeding assault within the convention (210.1 YPG) simply behind Oregon, so the trenches will go a great distance in figuring out who comes out on high.

This sport shall be shut. Utah will put up 30 no matter what Oregon does because of the Oregon protection. Utah shall be seeking to proceed their current success in opposition to Oregon.
For Oregon, all of it relies on how wholesome Bo Nix is. Bucky Irving and the operating again corps cannot do a lot if Utah can stack the field and stuff them each time. I do not count on Ty Thompson to throw the ball a lot if he performs, which might make it simpler for the Utes to decelerate the Geese’ offense.
Backside line, if Bo performs, Oregon wins. If not, Utah wins and dashes Oregon’s possibilities of a Pac-12 title sport look.
Max Torres
Prediction Oregon 42 Utah 38
The outlook on this sport is fairly simple in my eyes. If Bo Nix is ready to go I see this turning into one other shootout. From there it comes all the way down to execution and never letting the sport’s huge moments get too huge.

I have never seen sufficient from the Oregon protection to be assured that they will present up in opposition to a really well-rounded group. Utah’s at all times been a robust group within the trenches and the Geese cannot afford to provide Rising time to choose them aside within the pocket.
If Nix is unable to go I do not actually see how Oregon retains this sport shut, they will simply be too one dimensional. I make my prediction assuming Nix is ready to play, by which case I feel the Geese are in a position to do exactly sufficient to squeak out an enormous win at dwelling to maintain their Pac-12 title and Rose Bowl hopes alive.
