8:03 PM ET: Washington has won the toss and will defer. Oregon will start with the ball.
8:02 PM ET: The captains are at midfield.
8:00 PM ET: Here we go. Is Washington for real? We find out tonight.
7:56 PM ET: We are within ten minutes to kickoff at Autzen Stadium. This should be a good game, I'll be interested to see if Washington's defense can contain the Oregon offense.
7:53 PM ET: A good look at the Oregon uniforms for tonight. Those are looking good.
7:52 PM ET: It looks as though the betting line will stay right a 21 points in favor of the Oregon Ducks.
7:48 PM ET: On the injury front for Oregon it appears that defender Arik Armstead will play today after missing the game with UCLA last week.
7:46 PM ET: Seattle Times Washington Huskies writer Adam Jude tweeted a minute ago that Ben Riva does not appear to have made the trip.
7:45 PM ET: Shaq Thompson is ready to go
7:42 PM ET: There are three other games on the Pac-12 schedule today. A final from earlier UCLA beat California 36-34. USC leads Colorado 35-7 at the half and later on Stanford will play at Arizona State.
7:39 PM ET: What are your thoughts on tonight's game? Leave them in the comments section below.
7:37 PM ET: Coach Pete out on the field during warmups. Look at all of the old school style Oregon clothing on the sidelines. That is awesome
7:10 PM ET: We at VAVEL USA are sending our thoughts and prayers to California wide receiver Trevor Davis after his scary injury today against UCLA
6:50 PM ET: The Huskies are on the field for warmups.
6:48 PM ET: The picks from the expects at the Pac-12 Network for tonight's game:
6:46 PM ET: The weather looks like it will be beautiful in Eugene. The temperature at kickoff should be around 70 degrees and it will remain clear all night.
6:44 PM ET: Washington will be wearing their all-white jerseys today:
6:42 PM ET: Another thing to think about is that Oregon is celebrating “The Pick” by wearing their jerseys from 1994. What was Washington’s rank going into that game with the big upset? Ninth in the country. What is Oregon ranked going into today’s game? Ninth. Hmmm. Coincidence? We will know in about four hours.
6:40 PM ET: Do the Huskies have what it takes to end their decade-long losing streak against the Oregon Ducks today? This is the best defense that they have had in years and they have a solid emphasis on the rushing game. Oregon is a three-touchdown favorite according to most of the betting lines, but look for the game to be closer than that.
6:38 PM ET: One of the things we have noticed is that Washington seems to feel a little more comfortable in the passing game. The last two games have seen them call less than 60% runs for the first time all season. We noted in our preview for this game that teams who have beaten Oregon in the last five years have averaged 53.0 rushing attempts per game and all but one of them called at least 46 running plays. The lone holdout is USC in a 38-35 win in 2011.
6:36 PM ET: Washington junior linebacker Shaq Thompson scored another touchdown in the first quarter, his fifth on the season so far. California was looking to punch in a touchdown at the end of a long drive, Goff took the snap at the one-yard line and tried to dive over the pile but he lost control of the ball. It fell over the line and into the waiting arms of Thompson who ran it back 100 yards to give Washington a 7-0 lead.
6:34 PM ET: Washington quarterback Cyler Miles also had arguably his best game for the Huskies as well completing 22-of-29 passes for 273 yards and three touchdowns. He connected with his favorite receiver Jaydon Mickens 10 times for 69 yards including some big catches on third down to keep the sticks moving.
6:32 PM ET: It was a huge display for the defense who held California to only seven points and just 368 yards of total offense. Put that into comparison with what they were averaging coming into that game, 50 points per game and 548.4 yards per game.
6:30 PM ET: The Washington defense did a great job to shut down the sophomore quarterback holding him to zero touchdown passes; the first time that has happened since November 16th, 2013 for Goff against the Colorado Buffaloes and the first time at home since October 19th, 2013 against the Oregon State Beavers.
6:28 PM ET: Like Oregon, Washington made a trip down to California last week for their first conference road game of the season at the California Golden Bears. Much was made about how the Huskies may struggle against talented quarterback Jared Goff due to the youth in the Washington secondary.
6:26 PM ET: Ironically, that would be the final season for head coach Rich Brooks, he would be replaced by his offensive coordinator, Mike Bellotti. I think we all know how well he did.
6:24 PM ET: The Huskies came out on first down with just over a minute to go. Huard took the snap and looked for receiver Dave Janoski on an out route at around the 2-yard line. The throw was picked off by cornerback Kenny Wheaton who took the interception back for a 98-yard touchdown return to seal the massive upset for the Ducks. Oregon rode that momentum to four more wins to close out the season and a trip to the Rose Bowl to play the Penn State Nittany Lions where they lost 38-20. It was the team’s first Rose Bowl appearance since 1957.
6:22 PM ET: The day was October 22, 1994 when the 3-3 Oregon Ducks welcomed in the #9 Washington Huskies to Autzen Stadium. Washington was on a 5-game winning streak in the series and had also won 19 of the last 24 meetings dating back to 1970. Oregon led 24-20 late in the fourth quarter but Washington’s junior quarterback Damon Huard had led the Dawgs down to the Oregon 9-yard line.
6:20 PM ET: Here is a look at those Oregon throwbacks:
6:18 PM ET: Something you’ll notice about this game is that the Ducks are wearing throwback jerseys. They are bringing out the old Donald Duck jerseys to commemorate the 1994 team as it will be nearly twenty years to the day since one of the most famous plays in the history of Oregon Football.
6:16 PM ET: In doing the research for this game, one thing that we noticed was that Oregon tended to struggle more in games where they were forced to throw more often than run. There have only been five occasions in which Oregon has thrown more than they have run in their last 72 games since the start of the 2009 season; Oregon has a record of 1-4 in those games. The only win was on November 21, 2009 when the Ducks defeated the Arizona Wildcats 44-41 in double overtime. On that day, Jeremiah Masoli attempted 47 passes while the team ran just 37 times. It was a big win as it kept Oregon in line for a Rose Bowl berth.
6:14 PM ET: It was a very good bounce back game for the Ducks after falling to Arizona at Autzen Stadium two weeks ago by a score of 31-24. Arizona was able to take advantage of two Oregon turnovers but also shut down the Ducks’ rushing attack holding them to only 144 yards. That was the fewest yards rushing for Oregon in a game since November 7, 2013 when then ran for 62 yards in a 26-20 loss to the Stanford Cardinal in Palo Alto.
6:12 PM ET: Mariota comes into the game today with unreal numbers. He has completed nearly 70% of his passes (108-for-155) in 2014 for 1,621 passing yards along with 17 touchdown passes and no interceptions. That is good for a quarterback rating of 193.7, which is unheard of. He is also averaging 10.5 yards per pass attempt. Another mark that is absolutely amazing for a quarterback.
6:10 PM ET: The Ducks raced out to a 42-10 lead with 14:19 remaining in the game before holding on for the 42-30 victory in the Rose Bowl. All six of Oregon’s touchdown drives took 3:11 or fewer including two that we less than 23 seconds. Heisman Trophy candidate Marcus Mariota had a big game completing 17-of-27 passes for 210 yards and two scores. He also added 75 yards on seven carries and two rushing touchdowns as well.
6:08 PM ET: Oregon traveled down to Los Angeles for a marquee matchup with the UCLA Bruins. It was billed as possibly the game of the year in conference coming into the year but it lost its national luster when both teams lost the game directly before this match-up. Those losses though only increased the importance of the game in conference though as both teams were looking to avoid their second Pac-12 loss of the season.
6:06 PM ET: Both teams enter this game coming off big conference road wins last week.
6:04 PM ET: Washington currently sits in third in the division just a half-game behind the Ducks and the Cardinal. A win would give them at least a temporary share of the division lead until we find out the result of the Stanford game.
6:02 PM ET: The Oregon Ducks are tied with the Stanford Cardinal for the lead in the Pac-12 North with a 2-1 conference record and can take the lead in the division for maybe a few hours until the final result of the Stanford game later. Stanford kicks off in Tempe, Arizona against the 4-1 Arizona State Sun Devils at 10:30 pm ET on ESPN. We will keep you posted on the score of that game.
