The Ducks offense is averaging 38.8 points per game through four games this season. Some of the top performers so far have been wide receiver Johnny Johnson III, CJ Verdell, Travis Dye, and Terrance Ferguson. 

Moorhead has said that the success of Oregon's offense is predicated on their ability to run the ball, so we expect them to deploy a run-heavy attack against a Stanford team that has struggled to defend the run so far this season.
