When No. 9 UCLA visits No. 10 Oregon on Saturday, there are more compelling storylines — like two quarterbacks who are among the Pac-12's best this season.
Anne M. Peterson Associated Press EUGENE, Ore. — Usually when UCLA plays Oregon, a lot of attention falls on Chip Kelly, the current Bruins coach and former Ducks coach.UCLA's Dorian Thompson-Robinson is completing 74.8% of his passes and his efficiency rating is 108.6, putting him atop the Pac-12 and among the leaders nationally.

The Ducks are also coming off a bye."We're gonna be on the road out there in Eugene, so yeah, as being an away team we've got to stay calm, do our jobs. We've got to kill the penalties," Blaylock said.
The Ducks have won five straight since a season-opening loss to Georgia. They have won 22 straight games at Autzen Stadium, the third-longest streak in the nation. Kelly led Oregon to the Bowl Championship Series in each of his four seasons, including the national championship game following an undefeated 2010 season.
It is the first meeting between two top 10 teams at Autzen since No. 3 Oregon beat No. 7 Michigan State in 2014. The last matchup between two Pac-12 teams in the top 10 was No. 4 Oregon's victory over No. 9 Stanford in 2010.
