The Wildcats never were able to put the Ducks in uncomfortable down-and-distance scenarios; a similar performance will spell trouble vs. Washington.
Michael Lev On the surface, Arizona’s defensive performance against Oregon looked a lot like the one against Cal.
To Fisch’s point about never taking the Ducks out of their rhythm, the numbers bear that out. Oregon averaged 9.9 yards per play on first down, according to StatBroadcast. That’s the highest figure for a UA opponent this season, and it’s not even close. Here are the others: That Oregon faced only eight third downs is also noteworthy. It’s the second-fewest third downs for a UA foe this season and the third time an opponent has faced fewer than 10. That happened only once last season, in the finale vs. Arizona State.
The Wildcats did put the Golden Bears into some uncomfortable situations. Cal needed 9 or more yards in four third-down scenarios and converted only one. The Bears’ average distance to gain a first down was 7.6 yards – the highest of any UA opponent this season. The other statistic that jumps out from the Oregon game is Arizona’s tackles for losses. The Wildcats had none.
