Since suffering their only loss of the season to top-ranked USC, the Oregon Ducks have three impressive wins in a row, to climb all the way to 15th nationally. They'll look to stay perfect on the road, as they head to Tucson to face the disappointing 1-5 Arizona Wildcats. Kickoff is set for 7:00 PM EST

In a conference that features Matt Leinart and Drew Olson, Oregon quarterback Kellen Clemens is quietly putting together a Heisman-worthy season, throwing for 2219 yards and 18 scores. He was masterful against the Washington Huskies last weekend in a 45-21 Ducks victory, throwing for 425 yards and four touchdowns. Aside from the loss to the Trojans, the offense has put up at least 30 points on the board in every game this year.

The same cannot be said for the Arizona Wildcats offense, which has only broken the 30-point barrier once this year. Also unlike the Ducks, the Wildcats have struggled to find consistency at quarterback. Coach Mike Stoops even went as far as un-redshirting prized freshman Willie Tuitama, who may start in place of Richard Kovalcheck.

The Arizona defense has played fairly well, especially considering the amount of injuries that have taken their toll on the squad. But, they'll get all they can handle against Clemens and Co.
