"Oregon’s greatest weapon is relentlessness. The Ducks typically try to run a play every 18 to 22 seconds, a tempo that, according to Bellotti, is meant to “make those big defenders up front play with sloppy technique, make it so they can’t focus and can’t breathe.” The damage often is most apparent late in games when defensive linemen—particularly the big tackles—are a step slower and more vulnerable to rushes up the middle."

"Maybe the most hotly debated position area on the team. UW is allowing 323 passing yards per game, 118th out of 120 teams in the country, and has to be one of the few to ever win four straight games in which it has allowed 300 or more passing yards (the only game it lost was against Nebraska when the Huskers threw for just 155). That’s obviously not all the fault of the secondary — a lack of a pass rush is partly to blame, and a lot of the underneath routes are the responsibility of linebackers, as well. But the cornerbacks, in particular, have been the brunt of far more completions that optimistic fans were expected."

"The disconnection of stadium utilities, the mobilization of work crews and equipment and the preparation to demolish the lower bowl and south stands begin on groundbreaking day, Nov. 7. That will be less than 48 hours after Washington hosts Oregon in the final game inside Husky Stadium as we know it, before the $250 million stadium renovation and concurrent construction of a new football operations center gets underway."

"When Romar also talks about “potential with a capital P,” he’s also talking about Jarreau, who is one of the most intriguing players on the roster due to his size, youth and versatility."
