Where They Stand:
Arizona Wildcats (4-0, 1-0 Pac-12)
No. 2 Oregon Ducks (-23.5)(4-0, 1-0 Pac-12)
The No. 2 Oregon Ducks and the unranked Arizona Wildcats look to remain undefeated on the season and the Pac-12 as they battle on Thursday night football.
The Ducks will be looking for revenge this time around as the Wildcats knocked off a 9-1 Oregon team 42-16 late last season. The loss cost the Ducks a trip to a BCS bowl for the fifth straight season.
Ducks quarterback and Heisman Trophy hopeful Marcus Mariota said last season’s loss is not motivation for Oregon and it is just another game to them.
"Some people use it as a motivating factor," Mariota said of last year's outcome. "For us it's just another game.”
"It gives you confidence that when things are going a little tough, that you can battle through those things and fight through those situations," said Mariota, who was 21 of 25 for 329 yards and five touchdowns.”
Arizona will be ranked if they pull off the upset against Oregon and have a chance to go 5-0 for the first time since 1998 when they finished 12-1.
The Ducks are 28-0 against unranked opponents at home since 2008 and is 24-15 against Arizona all-time. The Ducks have taken 16 of the last 20 against the Wildcats.
