Even though the Oregon Ducks are out of the National Spotlight when it comes to the National Championship, this season is proof that the Pac-12 is up for grabs. Just when you think you are the team that has a bead either on the verge of the top four, or have a team that is squarely in it if they win out, a team like USC with three losses on the season blows up your season. (See Utah) Oregon has had their share of issues this season and were beat at home by Utah earlier this month. Now the Oregon Ducks head to Arizona State for a 7:30pm Pacific Time Kickoff on ESPN. Apparently ESPN still likes the Ducks as Oregon will appear again next Saturday against Cal Bears at Autzen on the ESPN family of networks.
It was announced on Tuesday that the November 7th matchup between the California Golden Bears and the Oregon Ducks will be broadcast on either ESPN or ESPN2 with a 7:30pm Pacific Time kickoff. The Ducks have played the majority of their season after 5pm Pacific Time in 2015, including three 7:30pm kickoffs in a row, if you take out the bye week. Washington, Arizona State and now California, all late starts for the Oregon Ducks. It will mark the teams fifth appearance on the ESPN networks this season. As a special treat for Oregon fans, Otis Day and the Knights will perform before the game against Cal, according to GoDucks.com. Day will also be on hand to read the Oregon Starting Lineups before the game.
Oregon is 4-3 on the season and will look to pick up their first Pac-12 Conference home win of the season against Cal and upstart Quarterback Jared Goff, but first a trip to the desert awaits as the Ducks travel to Arizona State this week for a Thursday night match up with the Sun Devils at 7:30pm Pacific Time on ESPN.
