Oregon Football controlled its own destiny to the College Football Playoff in 2021, with the only teams standing in their being Utah and Oregon State. Though they took care of the Beavs, 2 blowout losses in 3 weeks to the Utes left a sour taste in the mouths of Duck fans as a season that once had much promise came to a screeching halt. Oregon fans are hoping that a new QB (Bo Nix) and a new HC (Dan Lanning) will allow the Ducks to be more competitive against Utah than last year, when they were outscored 76-17 in two games--including the Pac-12 Championship Game in Las Vegas.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin is joined by 'Locked On Utes' host JT Wistrcill to talk about what should once again be a big-time matchup in the Pac-12 on the gridiron in 2022. He feels that even with a first-year HC and a new quarterback, the Ducks will have enough players who remember the 2 beatdowns from 2021 to rile up the troops and rally to a win. JT lays out who the offensive standouts figure to be for Utah this year, especially in light of the loss of WR Britain Covey who was a very reliable target for QB Cam Rising last year.

JT, as a Utah fan, has a lot of confidence in the schematical changes Oregon HC Dan Lanning will be able to make in this year's matchup, and that along with Oregon's veteran offensive line could be huge boons to the Ducks as they try to avenge their blowout losses from last year. In what figures to be a matchup of top 15 caliber teams when they meet in late November, it has the potential to live up to the billing as the premier game in the Pac-12 in 2022 and have national ramifications as well.
