The Oregon Ducks enter Week 9 of the college football season coming off of a 31-14 loss to UCLA at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena.
The Ducks (4-4, 1-4 Pac-12 Conference) have dropped their last three games and will host Utah (4-3, 1-3) at Autzen Stadium on Saturday at 2:45 p.m., televised on Pac-12 Networks.
Coach Willie Taggart met with reporters on Monday for his weekly press conference to reflect on the UCLA loss and look ahead to Saturday's matchup against the Utes.
Former Duck wide receiver and current Ute, Darren Carrington, will be making his first return to Autzen Stadium since being dismissed from Oregon this summer following a DUII arrest. Carrington has 45 receptions for 649 yards and five touchdowns this season.
"I don't think we're going in saying, 'We've got to stop Darren Carrington.' We've got to go and play better than what we've played," says Taggart. "It doesn't matter who's on the other side of the ball."
In the video above, Taggart gives a scouting report on Utah and talks about facing Carrington.
