#5 Oregon Ducks vs #3 Washington Huskies What to Watch:
The Pac-12 Championship Game is the rematch that all college football fans have been anticipating.
A College Football Playoff berth is probably at stake when the Oregon Ducks and Washington Huskies play one other on Friday night in Las Vegas.
Michael Penix Jr.'s game-winning drive helped Washington win the first meeting in a thrilling comeback.
Penix had to make a few key plays for Washington to stay unbeaten after that victory.
After losing in Seattle on October 14, Oregon reached a new level. Bo Nix made himself one of the front-runners for the Heisman Trophy, and the Ducks have won six straight games by double digits.
Since their initial encounter with Washington, Oregon appeared to be the superior squad.
The second half of the Pac-12 schedule was dominated by the Ducks. During their six-game winning streak, they won by double digits and scored at least 30 points in each game.
Nix appeared particularly resilient during the winning run. He has 16 throwing touchdowns in his final four games of the regular season and four consecutive 360-yard passing efforts.
During the winning run, the Oregon quarterback also scored four touchdowns on the ground.
The Ducks' defensive performance, which has kept four of their previous five opponents under 20, might make the difference versus Washington.
On October 14, the Ducks limited the Huskies to 14 points in the second half despite giving up 36 points to Washington.
Between those two touchdowns in the second half, Oregon pushed Washington into two punts and a turnover on downs.
Penix may be taken off the field quickly in certain situations due to the defensive style of Dan Lanning's team, which is aware of what it takes to slow him down.
Given Nix's performance, the Oregon offense can be relied to generate separation on the scoreboard, guarantee a spot in the CFB Playoffs, and lock down the quarterback's Heisman.
Washington's journey to the Pac-12 Championship Game has not been smooth.
The Huskies have won their last two games by a combined total of five points, and they haven't had a double-digit victory since September 23.
Washington has managed to pull off victory each week despite having the exact opposite form as Oregon.
Against the Washington State Cougars on Saturday, the Huskies maintained their game-winning drive with a daring fourth-down call in their own territory.
The Huskies remained unbeaten thanks to Penix's call on that option play and his performance in the fourth quarter.
To overcome the Oregon defense for the second time this season, the left-handed quarterback needs to be at the top of his game. If he succeeds, he might surpass Nix and Daniels in the Heisman race.
