Last time they hooked these two teams hooked up back in the beginning of October the Wildcats were thought to be an easy home win for the Ducks. "Desert Swarm" shocked Oregon at home 31-24 and the plot thickens as we move to beautiful Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California for the PAC-12 Championship Game. These two teams again will battle for all the marbles and a College Football Playoff slot for the Ducks.

PAC-12 Championship Game from Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California

#ARIvsORE Game Outlook 

Arizona last time these two teams met had a shocking 24-24 lead late in the 3rd frame. The 'Cats did it with keeping Heisman favorite Oregon QB Marcus Mariota in the pocket and taking his legs away. Mariota threw for 276 yards on 20 for 32 and two TD's but he never looked comfortable doing so. Arizona must try and duplicate that same defensive scheme giving him different looks to hit the winner's circle again.  

The Ducks defense looked very vulnerable in that game as the 'Cats went right at their run "D" racking up a total of 208 yards. Arizona RB Terris Jones-Grigsby had 115 yards on 27 carries and that run game kept Mariota and that Oregon offense off the field.

'Cats QB Anu Solomon also had an excellent game making plays in the vertical passing game when he needed. He threw for 287 yards on 20 for 31 with a TD and an INT. Can the Ducks stop the 'Cats run game and force Solomon to be them all by his lonesome?

Who wins as the stakes can't get any higher unless we are talking the College Football Playoffs?

Winner: Oregon as Mariota caps his Senior Season with a dynamic performance and grabs the 2014 Heisman Trophy doing so in a landslide...
