Chasing Stanford: Ducks hope QB Dakota Prukop adjusts quickly

We continue our series looking at what several Pac-12 teams must do to catch reigning Pac-12 champion Stanford. Next up: Oregon.

How they make the Pac-12 championship game: If the offense moves like a well-oiled machine with quarterback Dakota Prukop at the wheel (and if the center -- whomever it might be -- can get him the keys/ball). Between the insane depth at running back and the weapons at wide receiver, the Ducks have playmakers all over the field. If the offense is potent enough, it could be similar to the years when Marcus Mariota was at the wheel -- the defense would need to make just enough stops so that the offense could outscore its opponents.
