With a win over Washington State, the Ducks will maintain their stranglehold on the North Division title.

Continued improvement, player development and playing to your standard become a higher priority.

There have been great opportunities to develop depth and develop for the future already this season,and the coaches have done a terrific job. In the victory over UW, the depth was on full display with young players like Spencer Webb, Mycah Pittman, MJ Cunningham, Popo Aumavae, Mykael Wright and DJ James making big plays.

Oregon is going to have a deep, talented receiver group next year. What they need most to keep this thing going is solid play at quarterback.

Getting Shough some opportunities for quality snaps will pay big dividends.

His best chances to see the field in the remaining games are Washington State , Arizona and Oregon State, all at Autzen.

If the Ducks can open up some three touchdown leads in the fourth quarter, he can get a couple of chances to run the whole offense for a chunk of plays.

Not taking anything away from the rest of the players or Justin, who's the reigning PAC-12 Offensive Player of the Week, not at all. Getting Shough some seasoning will pay dividends for next season. If the opportunity is there, they should be sure to take it. Within reason, of course.

Crazy that Oregon has attempted just three field goals in seven games. Camden Lewis could use a couple of reps also.

In the words of the immortal Herman Edwards, you play to win the game. But developing your players for the future is important too, any time it's reasonable to do so.
