Oregon's defense has been vastly improved from a season ago, putting up better numbers across the board in key areas. If that unit plays how they're capable, Oregon will have a sizable margin of victory against the USC Trojans.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin talks about the biggest key to Oregon beating USC comfortably. Bo Nix has been crazily efficient this season, just how good could his numbers look by the end of the season?

Oregon was trending towards the College Football Playoff before a penultimate regular season game loss at Arizona State. This year's Oregon team feels like one unlikely to suffer such a stumble.
