Oregon faces Washington in a high-stakes college football matchup this Saturday, with the Ducks aiming for a spot in the College Football Playoff. This rivalry game is particularly crucial for Oregon, which has already secured a successful season with five consecutive double-digit victories. A win against Washington would solidify their position, extending their ongoing road winning streak to 12 games.

Recent Rivalry History
This encounter will mark the 118th meeting between the two teams. Last season, Oregon triumphed over Washington with a decisive 49-21 victory, ending a three-game rivalry losing streak. The Ducks have dominated this rivalry recently, winning 12 out of their last 17 matchups since 2004, although Washington has shown resilience in past close contests.

Game Highlight
Oregon has achieved a remarkable feat with 11 consecutive road wins, the longest active streak in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS). Washington, on the other hand, has been formidable at home, winning 25 of its last 26 games at Husky Stadium. The game’s dynamics could shift quickly, especially given Washington’s ability for surprise upsets.

Key Players to Watch
Oregon’s offense has flourished thanks to its true freshmen, with backs Jordon Davison and Dierre Hill Jr. nicknamed “Thunder and Lightning,” contributing significantly to their success. Their overall performance, combined with veteran Noah Whittington, who leads with 727 rushing yards this season, will be pivotal as they aim to challenge Washington’s top-20 rushing defense.
