Oregon and Michigan State on September 12th Set For Primetime Kickoff
It is not really a surprise anymore when the Ducks are announced for a nationally televised game, but this one is different. It is very early in the season and both Oregon and Michigan State will be looking to get into a good position for a Conference run to the National Championship. Oregon will be doing it with a new Quarterback at the helm. Michigan State will look to continue with dominating Defense that got better each week last season after Oregon beat them along with a Heisman contender in Quarterback Connor Cook.

Oregon will likely have Vernon Adams on the roster in September when they travel to East Lansing. One reason he wanted to come to the Ducks was for more exposure. There is nothing like getting your wish on the National Stage in the second week of the season in prime time. Then Ducks will face Adams’ former team in Eastern Washington to start the year. Adams has said he would like to have the opportunity to get Oregon back to the National Championship and he has the ability.
Oregon will look for him to show it on September 12th in what could be one of the better non-conference games of the upcoming 2015 season. It is the first announced television time for Oregon. The Ducks and Spartans will kickoff just after 5pm Pacific Time on Saturday, September 12th on ABC.
