11/12/19 | Football
EUGENE, Ore. – One of four FBS teams in the top 12 nationally in both scoring offense and scoring defense, Oregon moved up one spot to No. 6 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings released on Tuesday.
Coming off a bye last weekend, Oregon returns to action Saturday night when the Ducks host Arizona at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN. UO is unbeaten in five home games this season, and has outscored its opponents 211-54.
With the return of wide receivers Juwan Johnson and Mycah Pittman, the Oregon offense has averaged 43.3 points per game over its last four games, hitting the 30-point plateau each time. Johnson and Pittman have combined for 26 receptions for 392 yards and five TDs since the duo returned from injury five games ago.
Oregon's offense has scored a TD in 28 of 32 quarters during its current eight-game win streak, while the defense has given up points on back-to-back drives just twice in 64 drives at home this season. The Ducks lead the country with 17 interceptions by 11 different players and have held all nine of their opponents under their scoring average for the season.
