The Utah Utes go into Autzen this weekend as heavy underdogs. The line has varied anywhere from 11 – 14 in favor of Oregon, with Utah getting little chance to come away with the victory. Upon first glance, this would make sense because Utah has yet to beat Oregon since joining the Pac-12, and Oregon hardly ever loses at home. It’s a typical speed vs strength matchup, when these two teams meet. While Stanford has had success out-muscling the Ducks, Utah hasn’t – yet.
Most people think of Oregon’s quick strike offense as being based on the long pass, when in reality, it’s a run based attack.
