On a day the Ducks lost their first September game since 2011, Georgia State ended a streak of its own: A 12-game losing streak. The Panthers, thanks to 372 passing yards and two touchdowns from Nick Arbuckle, beat New Mexico St. 34-32 to improve to 1-1 on the season.
But, the celebration will likely be called short considering the opponent they have on Saturday. Georgia State head coach Trent Miles isn’t oblivious to the challenge, either. That’s not to say he’s preparing his team to be on the opposite end of a clinic, though.
“We are respectful of Oregon, but we will get on the plane and try to win a game,” Miles said during his weekly coaches teleconference, according to The Register Guard.  “We’re not just going to show up.”
And with a lethal passing attack on display in its win over New Mexico State, along with some speed and raw skill on the defensive end, there are plenty of potential tests that Georgia State could offer the Ducks.
Here’s a look at the match-ups/players to watch:
Georgia State wide receivers vs. Oregon secondary
Oregon’s secondary turned out to be one of the brighter spots in the team’s 31-28 loss to Michigan State. The Ducks limited Connor Cook to 192 passing yards and freshman Ugo Amadi intercepted the first pass of his career. It was a fierce contrast to the Ducks’ opener, in which Eastern Washington quarterbacks accounted for five touchdowns and 438 yards of passing. However, consistency is the issue with the Ducks’ inexperienced unit.  On the other hand, Georgia State wide receiver Penny Hart is coming off a dominant performance. Hart caught 11 passes for 150 yards last week and may be another formidable challenge for the Ducks’ cornerbacks.
Vernon Adams Jr. vs. Georgia State secondary 
We know how capable the Ducks’ rushing attack can be against lesser opponents. Look no further than the stat sheet of Oregon’s game versus Eastern Washington, in which the Ducks amounted 485 yards. Adams looked sharp through the air as well. And for the most part in East Lansing last Saturday, he looked like a capable quarterback. But turnovers proved to be the difference. In what should be a bounce back game for the graduate transfer, Adams will try and get his form back. On Monday, he did admit he felt anxious in last week’s game, and that he hopes to get that comfort back in the pocket Saturday.
Players to watch:
Oregon 
Devon Allen :
The redshirt sophomore made his season debut last week, but saw limited action and did not record a catch. If in the lineup Saturday, expect him to become another dangerous option for Adams in the Oregon offense.
Oregon running backs:
Oregon’s running backs amassed just 113 yards on the ground at Michigan State. Royce Freeman got the bulk of the carries and finished his night with 24 rushes for 92 yards. However, with this group, last week should serve as anomaly, and it could be a big day.
Georgia State
Penny Hart 
The freshman has recorded 12 receptions for 204 yards and three touchdowns this season.
