Oregon-Arizona State football preview: Picks, odds for Week 12 Pac-12 action
Week 12 of the college football season is crucial for many teams with postseason hopes, including the No. 6-ranked Oregon Ducks (9-1, 6-1 Pac-12). The Ducks have rattled off four straight wins with their eyes set on a berth in the Pac-12 championship game.
Last week, Oregon beat USC (7-4, 5-3) 36-27 at home with quarterback Bo Nix adding another chapter to his Heisman campaign. His season-high 412 passing yards pushed the Ducks to another victory despite the Trojans' late-game scores.
Oregon boasts the best scoring offense in the FBS (46.3 points per game) and the second-best by yards (540 per game). This week, a familiar face is on the opposing sideline: former Oregon offensive coordinator and current Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham.
Coach to foe: Arizona State's Dillingham helped build Oregon QB Bo Nix and now must try to stop him
Dillingham's Sun Devils (3-7, 2-5) are finally breaking in the back half of their Pac-12 schedule. Arizona State lost six straight after a win over Southern Utah in the season opener. That included three consecutive one-score losses to Cal (24-21), Colorado (27-24), and No. 5 Washington (15-7).
But the breaks are going Arizona State's way since the Washington loss. Two wins separated by a 55-3 drubbing against Utah has things looking up in Tempe.
Now, Dillingham will look to play spoiler to his old team's postseason hopes with an upset win.
