QB Nick Foles (8):
Standing 6-foot-5-inches tall and weighing in at 245 pounds, Arizona quarterback Nick Foles has the all the physical attributes to be a successful signal-caller at the next level. A junior from Austin, Texas, Foles has thrown for 2,201 yards and 13 touchdowns in his eight games played this season. He is averaging 275.1 yards per game through the air, while completing an impressive 71 percent of his throws in a pass-first offense. When the two teams met last season, Foles went 30 for 46 with 314 yards, four touchdowns and one interception.
ROV Eddie Pleasant (11):
Junior outside linebacker-turned-defensive back Eddie Pleasant has quietly had a standout year on the Oregon defense. Pleasant has found a home in filling the role of former Oregon greats T.J. Ward and Patrick Chung at the rover position this season. The La Palma, Calif., native has tallied 53 tackles, including five tackles for loss and two sacks, while also recovering two fumbles. When Oregon traveled to Tucson last year, Pleasant recorded six tackles and was credited with two of the Ducks’ three sacks on Foles.
Players to watch: No. 20 Arizona at No. 1 Oregon
