How Both Teams Got Here
Oregon is 1-1 and the second game is the one everyone is talking about. The Ducks beat Boise State 34-27 at home to open, then lost 39-31 at Oklahoma State in Week 2, a result that dropped them to 21st in the AP poll.
Portland State is 0-3, all three losses coming against Big Sky competition. The Vikings have not won this season and are traveling a short distance for a payday game.
What to Watch
How Oregon responds. Losing at Oklahoma State as a top ten team is the kind of result that either wakes a team up or starts a slide, and a Friday night home game against a winless FCS opponent is the softest possible landing spot. Anything other than a comfortable win would be a genuine alarm.
Portland State’s defense has been the problem in all three losses, and Autzen on a Friday night is a difficult place for a team that has not led a game yet this season.
