When the Utah Utes finish this weekend’s series in Eugene, they’ll come away with a better idea of how they stack up against Pac-12 competition than when they started. Since joining the Pac-12 in 2012, Utah’s play has been streaky against Oregon - the Ducks won the first four series, then the Utes won the next two, and Oregon has taken the series since 2017. The Utes have also struggled against the rest of the Pac-12, as last weekend’s series win over Washington was their first Pac-12 series win since 2019.
Utah is looking for a better showing this weekend, but they are facing an Oregon Ducks team that is riding momentum of their own.
