The Ducks face QB Khalil Tate and an option running game this weekend. There will be a lot of pressure on the DL to play assignment football. Any breakdown in a single gap can send Tate or one of the RB's heading into the second level with a head of steam.

Stopping the UA option
I’m sure for the last five weeks defenses and defensive coordinators were echoing the same sentiment, and nobody has slowed them down. We are looking forward to the opportunity. It’s all about gaps, leverage and rallying to that ball.
Henry Mondeaux Team Captain
He is a leader in our room. He commands the room. I’ve really, truly been excited about him and his progress. Change is never easy on both fronts; on the staff and the guys who have been here for a while. All they have done is try to do what we ask.
On UA QB Khalil Tate:
He is going to make his plays. The goal is to minimize them and put ourselves in position to be successful. We have got to execute and have a lot of bodies around him.
