Series record: Oregon leads 28-17.

WHAT’S AT STAKE?

Oregon is in a four-way tie at the top of the Pac-12 along with Utah, UCLA and USC. The Ducks have won four straight games after being thumped by Georgia in the season opener for both teams. Arizona is an improving program under second-year coach Jedd Fisch. The Wildcats have already won three games after finishing 1-11 last season. A victory over the nationally-ranked Ducks would be a huge boost.

KEY MATCHUP

Arizona QB Jayden de Laura was exceptional in a lopsided win over Colorado last week, finishing with 484 yards passing and six touchdowns. Oregon’s defense is much better than Colorado’s, but the Ducks gave up 41 points two weeks ago in a tight win over Washington State.

PLAYERS TO WATCH

Oregon: QB Bo Nix showed he’s got multiple ways to make big plays in last weekend’s 45-27 win over Stanford. The Auburn transfer finished with 161 yards passing and two touchdowns while also running for 141 yards and two touchdowns.

Arizona: WR Dorian Singer caught nine passes for 163 yards and a touchdown against Colorado. He’s had a breakout season and combines with Jacob Cowing to form one of the better pass-catching duos in the Pac-12.
