There will be a lot of things to pay attention to on Saturday for fans of the Oregon Ducks.
On the field, Dan Lanning and his team will look to continue their successful season and potentially lock up a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game with a win — and some help from Washington and Utah — and pick up their first ever November win against Arizona State.
