Justin Herbert is such a much better QB than Jake Browning
Based on what?

It’s not a ridiculous statement. Herbert will likely be a top 3 QB this year and Browning went undrafted.

At one point so was Browning. Herbert has a lot of physical gifts, but he hasn't done anything yet to warrant a statement that he is so much better than Browning that it would sway a prediction. Going into Browning's JR year he was in the talk of being a potential #1 overall pick.

Browning and Herbert’s numbers were very similar in 2018.

Browning had better talent around him... and Herbert is a significantly better running threat.
ETA: just looked at Herbert’s rushing numbers... under 200 yards on the season with 2 TDs... I assume sack yardage comes out of that, but still it’s pretty underwhelming.

Honestly, I don’t think Herbert is a difference maker in their offense or this game. He’s consistent at home, on the road, and in wins and losses. But he’s no superstar despite his NFL frame.
Taking out the MAC/MWC games, he threw 17 TDs and 4 INTs for around 230 yards a game (206 on the road).
They have big question marks at WR after losing Dillon Mitchel. That guy had about 1200 yards receiving and 10 TDs.
They return Verdell who is a good all-around RB that had 1300 yards from scrimmage and 12 TDs.
Their defense allowed 421 yards of total offense per game to PAC12 opponents and they were worse on the road.
I think there’s way more important and interesting factors in this game than Herbert

Oregon fans on the SECR said they don’t use the QB run in their offense with Herbert anymore. So those yards were scrambles and sack yardage

But professional gamblers have pounded the betting total, or over/under, that sportsbooks posted at 59 earlier in August. The total fell to 55 at many sportsbooks as of Friday afternoon.
According to The Action Network, 68 percent of betting tickets and 81 percent of money wagered had backed the under. Sharp bettors usually risk more dollars per bet, and oddsmakers tend to move their lines faster when those individuals place wagers.
It takes a massive pile of money to move a spread four points, and although it doesn’t take as much to move a total, it still represents a liability for sportsbooks on the Auburn-Oregon under.
