Eugene The Oregon Ducks are still thinking about the outcomes of their last three encounters with Washington.
There are plenty of reminders going into Saturday’s (4:30 p.m., NBC) regular season finale, even if about half the roster did not play in the team’s two losses to the Huskies last season, and even fewer are left from the 2022 loss at Autzen Stadium.
Linebacker Bryce Boettcher stated, “We have all the old games popping up in the weight room so when you’re getting a lift in you can see them beating the crap out of us the past three (games).” Making guys realize that freshmen, transfers, and new players will bring their best game to the game when they arrive. It will undoubtedly hold great significance for them. We can’t play this kind of game if we come out sleepwalking.
Boettcher has contributed to the three three-point defeats to the Huskies. The resident of Eugene accepts the fact that this game obviously has a somewhat higher value than others.
Boettcher remarked, “For those who claim there isn’t, don’t worry about the opponent. I mean, I think that’s a little bit of BS.” The Huskies are something I detest. They have never appealed to me. When the ball is kicked off at game time, I will be playing my ass off.

No. 1 Oregon is not letting Washington’s offseason roster turnover—41 letterwinners gone and only two players returning from the previous squad—affect their perception of this year’s clash. Even if they are not playing for the Huskies, players like Bralen Trice, Michael Penix Jr., Dillon Johnson, Rome Odunze, Ja Lynn Polk, Jalen McMillan, and Kalen DeBoer are still purple and gold.

The tight endAccording to Terrance Ferguson, the Ducks still harbor a deep animosity toward the Huskies.
According to linebacker Jeff Bass, there’s always that sour feeling in the back of your mouth. Although we are aware that the team is different from the one from the previous year, the program remains the same.
Dan Lanning has handled the rivalry diplomatically, but he doesn’t need to be reminded of his 0–3 record in the series or some of his dubious tactical choices.
According to Lanning, college football rivalries are really unique. The excitement among the fans, alumni, and those who have attended events like this for a long time, in my opinion, is one of the things that makes this enjoyable. Of course, it is very important to us. In the end, though, it’s a different game. The next game is coming up. Additionally, you don’t play with emotion. It’s more about execution than feeling.
Because of the way these games are played, they will inevitably be emotional. However, that isn’t going to help you succeed on the field.

Bassa is one of the few Ducks left from the 2021 squad that dominated the Huskies on a soggy Seattle night. Before pursuing a Big Ten and national championship, UO’s seniors hope to round off their careers with one more victory in the rivalry and some atonement.
Ferguson stated, “We owe these guys, but you don’t want to circle games ever on the schedule.” They did a good job playing us. There is a rivalry, and this game is important to the people of Oregon, and for good reason. For the entire team, having a rivalry is undoubtedly significant. Being a Duck is a game you look forward to as soon as you get in Oregon. On Saturday, we’re going to leave and act as though we owe them something and will be resentful.
