There is now quarterback controversy for No. 6 Oregon (7-1, 5-0 Pac-12) even though the Ducks pulled starter Darron Thomas in last week’s sloppy 43-28 win over Washington State. Thomas was pulled at halftime vs. WSU after going 8-of-13 for 153 yards and a touchdown, with two interceptions on catchable balls muffed by receivers. Redshirt freshman Bryan Bennett took over with just a 15-10 lead and was 4-for-7 for 88 yards with two scores. He led three TD drives overall, two more than Thomas. Oregon scored at least 41 points for the seventh game in a row.

Washington (6-2, 4-1) still has an outside shot at winning the Pac-12 North. The Huskies bounced back from a shellacking by Stanford to beat Arizona last weekend, 42-31. Star running back Chris Polk scored five touchdowns and became the first player in Washington history with 100 yards rushing (34 carries for 144 yards) and receiving (four catches, 100 yards) in a game as the Huskies rallied. But that Washington defense remains a big question mark. Arizona carved up Washington's struggling defense for 424 total yards a week after the Huskies surrendered 615 yards to Stanford. UW is No. 103 in the nation in allowing 33.4 points per game.

The Huskies are unbeaten at home this year and have covered four in a row there. However, Oregon has covered in six of the past seven meetings. Last year the Ducks won 53-16 in Eugene. Thomas had 332 total yards and three scores, while LaMichael James, who returned from injury last week, had 121 yards and three scores. The Ducks have won seven straight over Washington — all by 20 or more points.
