In 2021, Hall only made 296 pass attempts and rushed for more than 300 yards for the Cougars.įor this weekend, we have to consider this. They are relying on him to produce more offense than last season. He’s off to a fast start in 2022, with 522 yards in the Cougars' first two games. On paper, Oregon should move the ball through the air, but that is not what they want to be right now.īYU has a quarterback they trust in returning, Jaren Hall. They would prefer to run the ball and avoid situations where Nix needs to be their offense, even though their skill position players are far more talented than the BYU secondary pieces. It’s clear by watching the game-plan design and the Ducks' lack of faith with him on third down. Right now, Oregon does not trust quarterback Bo Nix. However, I’m taking the under in this game, and I’ll explain why. BYU smoked South Florida in Week 1 and then had an impressive overtime win against Baylor in Provo last weekend. Oregon bounced back against Eastern Washington after being embarrassed by Georgia.
This primetime, non-conference matchup in Eugene will be a rock fight between two teams that pride themselves on their physical play.
