The Ducks have yet to truly show what they are capable with Dillon Gabriel running the show, and they are still averaging 36 points per game. If they break out on Friday night (which I expect), Dan Lanning's team could push this number by themselves.
This is a big number to lay, especially with Jonathan Smith, who is an outstanding coach, leading the Spartans. That said, I am predicting this to be a breakout spot for the Ducks' offense with Dillon Gabriel leading the way. Autzen Stadium will be rocking, and I expect the Ducks to win big.
Jonathan Smith on the opposing sideline is familiar to Oregon fans, though they were used to seeing Smith in Oregon State's orange and black in past days. Now, he's wearing Spartan green, with a team that has a functional, if not flashy, look about it (much like his old Beavers teams). Can the Ducks speed up the pace at Autzen Stadium? They'll try vs. their old rival, but the salty Spartan defense, already in tough this season, doesn't figure to simply roll over. Meanwhile, Oregon's underrated defense continues to sparkle while Dan Lanning waits for touted transfer Dillon Gabriel to start posting his usual Star Wars numbers. Play Michigan State-Oregon "Under"
