With an Oregon defense that still seems to be searching for its identity in Brady Hoke’s scheme and an angry Washington State Air Raid offense coming off a bye week, the Ducks defensive backs know they’re in for a lot of action on Saturday night in the Palouse.
“Their system is their system; they’re so ingrained and entrenched in what they do,” Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. “Coach Leach [Mike] Leach has done it so long and in so many facets.”
And their system, with its many facets, is based on one thing -- throw, throw and throw the ball, to the point that some might worry whether or not their quarterback will still have his arm attached the next morning.
