This is a statement game for the Portland Pilots, as it’s a bit of a measuring stick contest for them to prove they’re as good as their start indicates. The Oregon Ducks have had a tough schedule up to this point, and all of their losses have come against respectable opponents. However, it’s clear Oregon isn’t as good as it’s been in past years. Portland can hang around here. Give me the points.
