Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
3 High 2 High or 1 High/ How high will Oregon be

Athletic’s take from earlier in the year. Arizona went 3 high safeties. Penix saw primarily single high safety coverage for most of his snaps this year. Teams adjusted … Link below on What the UW offense does well on route combos and how to counter.
Can Oregon slow down Washington?
This Saturday, the challenge will be on the Oregon defense to take away space for these receivers to work. The Ducks are sixth in the country in total defense and fifth in scoring defense, allowing only 11.8 points per game. Last year, Penix threw for 408 yards against the Ducks in a 37-34 Washington win in Eugene.
To defend the Huskies this time, the Ducks will need to do something many other opponents have not done and play two-high safety defense. Oregon has played two-high on 33 percent of snaps so far this season. Expect more of it Saturday in Seattle.
The Huskies have seen two-high coverage on only 23 percent of snaps, according to TruMedia. Tulsa was the only opponent to have its safeties align at 15 yards, but it didn’t have the personnel to match up with the Huskies’ receivers. The Ducks may just have the secondary to match up with the Huskies receivers, at least better than most. They relied on their back end to stymie Colorado’s pass game in September, limiting quarterback Shedeur Sanders and his receiving crew to 159 yards, their lowest output all season.
The Ducks will need a repeat performance against a more talented unit in order to steal the win in Washington, which has looked as unstoppable as any offense in the country thus far.

Oregon is going to play aggressive. Jordan Burch has come alive in the 2nd half of the season, and my hope is we get home even better this time around.
