Who's Playing Oregon Ducks (home) vs. Portland State Vikings (away) Last season records: Oregon 7-6; Portland St. 0-11 What to Know The Ducks return to the football field Saturday late morning to try and improve to 2-0 on the football season when they play host to in-state school and FCS opponent Portland State (1-0). "The messaging is the truth of the matter," Cristobal said on Monday of how he intends to handle this weekend's game. "The truth of the matter is that we had some very good play on Saturday, but that we also had some not so great play on Saturday that we can improve upon. "For us to be the team that we've always talked about, and trained to be, the things we've done since January to become that team, all really relate to how we approach it ourselves... There's nothing that showed up on tape on Saturday that is not correctable. There's nothing that showed up on tape that we can't take to a higher standard. It's always going to start and end with that regardless of the opponent. I think that has to be the focus."

Oregon made light work of Bowling Green last week, but needed a quarter to get things on track, and won 58-24. The Ducks went from No. 24 to No. 23 in this week's AP rankings. Portland State comes to town for an in-state battle between Power 5 vs FCS teams. Here is how DuckTerritory.com believes the game will go, but make sure to also give us your score predictions in the comments section. Matt Prehm's Prediction: Oregon's scoring record for a single game is 77 points. The Ducks did that last year against Southern Utah in their season-opening game. I think they tie that number this weekend against Portland State. 77 points is a lot of points, but I think we'll see a defensive touchdown and then 10 offensive touchdowns. Oregon's size up front on both sides of the ball is what will lead to Oregon having big games on both sides of the ball. The Ducks are the better team in all categories and it'll be an upset of the ages should Portland State win. Justin Herbert and the Oregon starters will be out of the game by halftime and the second and third string units will perform better this week than last week. Oregon 77, Portland State 10 Erik Skopil's Prediction: The talent disparity is about as wide as possible in this one. The Ducks are simply better at every spot. This will serve more as an opportunity to get the team’s youth and reserves reps. I expect most starters won’t play in the second 30 minutes. Justin Herbert gets Oregon up big early, and they roll. Oregon 73, Portland State 13 Kevin Wade's Prediction: Oregon should easily handle the Portland State Vikings but for this game to be a success, there’s a lot I want to see. The Ducks need to clean up secondary play. While Thomas Graham and Ugo Amadi have clean games, the rest of the secondary will have to tighten up their coverage and not allow mistakes to happen, especially against an FCS squad. Bowling Green didn’t take advantage of a number of big secondary coverage mistakes last week but they did find a gap on their final touchdown in which Mattrell McGraw was fooled by Jarrett Doege’s eyes. The breakdown allowed the running back to slip by Troy Dye and swing wide open with an easy catch in the end zone. On offense, the victory will need to come from the wide receivers. Of Justin Herbert’s eight passing attempts of 20 yards or more, the Ducks only completed three with four of the five incompletions being counted as drops. Three of those four drops were touchdown balls and all catchable. Additionally, Herbert had receivers running wrong routes that caused one interception and multiple incompletions. While not a position group, the Ducks will need to see some good reps from their second team. Braxton Burmeister didn’t move the offense last week and the Ducks will need to figure out a solution at quarterback should something happen to Herbert this season. Could we see Tyler Shough get a chance? The Ducks should win easily but the key for this week is going to be cleaning up the sloppy play from week one, which it very accomplishable. Oregon won the previous meeting 69-0 but I don’t think Oregon will shutout the Vikings. Oregon 69, Portland State 6 Alek Arend's Prediction: The Ducks need to walk away from this game with a win and no new injuries. I expect the offense to get off to a fast start and put up a ton of points in the first half. The second half will be focused on getting the second and third team players reps. Depending on how they perform will alter the margin of victory. Another storyline to watch is which quarterback plays after Herbert’s day is one — which I assume will end quickly. Last week, Braxton Burmeister saw some action. Does Tyler Shough play this week? Oregon’s backup quarterback situation still seems foggy. A good performance by either could provide some clarity. Oregon 66 Portland State 7 Zach Regelin's Prediction: Portland State came within one field goal of embarrassing Oregon State early in the 2017 season. Instead, it was just another loss to add on to the Vikings’ winless season. With no reason to believe Portland State will be much better in 2018, Oregon should have no issues being able to take them down. Oregon will probably play a much tighter game than it did in week one against Bowling Green. The Ducks will likely have this one all-but-over around halftime, with the Vikings scoring a meaningless touchdown or two in the second half. Oregon last faced off against Portland State in 2010, when the Ducks shut them out 69-0. Oregon 77, Portland State 10<doc-sep>The No. 23 ranked Oregon Ducks host the visiting Portland State Vikings Saturday afternoon for week two of the college football season. The Oregon Ducks were one of just 24 FBS teams and the only Pac-12 program to score 50 points in its season opener last week. Oregon will look to start 2-0 for the third straight season and extend its streak of consecutive non-conference home wins to 22. The Ducks hit 58 points last week against Bowling Green and was the program's 44th 50-point game at Autzen Stadium.<doc-sep>
