Oregon Football is on an early season roll at 2-0 and their game against Arizona State in two weeks now has a time and network.

The Oregon Ducks will head to the Desert for a showdown with Arizona State on Saturday, September 23rd for a 7pm Pacific Time Kickoff on Pac-12 Network. It will be the second Pac-12 Network game of the season for Willie Taggart and Company.

Offensively, the team has been impressive with the arm of Sophomore Quarterback Justin Herbert, to go along with the multitude of weapons on the ground with Royce Freeman leading the way and Tony Brooks-James playing a solid complimentary role. Freeman on the season has over 300 yards rushing through two games to go with six touchdowns. He scored twice in a win over Nebraska over the weekend.

Defensively, Jim Leavitt is still teaching. The team found a way to win against Nebraska in the second half after not being held scoreless in the period for the first time this season. The Ducks scored all of their 42 points in the first half and came away winners 42-35 over the Cornhuskers.

The Offense once again led the way with their second game putting up a total of over 650 yards through the air and on the ground combined.

Oregon will face Cal for their next home game on Saturday, September 30th. Game time should be announced next weekend for the matchup with the Golden Bears. I expect the game will be an early afternoon/evening game with the Ducks having a night tilt the week before.
