With 2 winable road games coming up.

If you're referring to the Colorado and Utah games, I suspect those will be their 2 most difficult road games of the year, outside of Arizona. I could easily see them going 0-2 in those games without Dante. Even Colorado's worst teams are a nightmare for the Ducks in Boulder, and this is probably the most talented team they've had in years. Utah I feel a little better about, as Altman has generally had their number, but they're much improved and playing in the elevation is always a battle for visiting teams.

No. I misread the schedule. Ignore my previous comment.

Going 2-0 against 2 solid teams on the road is a really great sign. Gonna need Dante and Nasty Nate back eventually to compete against Colorado/Utah/Arizona, but I think we can beat anyone else in the conference without them.

Dante should come back soon but Bittle will be out for a little while longer right? While getting both back would be ideal I think getting just Dante back will cure a lot of the defensive issues.

Bittle February sometime, I believe.
