The Oregon Ducks(4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) currently sit in fourth place in the Pac-12 North with the next few weeks telling a large part of the 2018 season.

Oregon Football returns to the field this week against the Washington Huskies. Gametime is set for 12:30 pm Pacific Time on ABC. On Monday, the Pac-12 announced their kickoff time against the Washington State Cougars on the road, and it is a timeframe that Oregon is familiar with this season.

Oregon has seen game times this season that have ranged from 11 am to 5 pm. Following the game with the Washington Huskies, the Ducks travel to Washington State to meet the Cougars at 4:30 pm Pacific Time on FOX. It will be the first time Oregon Football has been on FOX this season. Earlier this season they were on Fox Sports 1 against the California Golden Bears, a big road win for Oregon Football before their bye week.

The Ducks have one loss on the season entering this week. Two weeks ago they lost to the Stanford Cardinal in overtime. This week the team faces 7th ranked Washington. Oregon moved up a spot in the AP Top 25 despite not playing and are ranked 17th this week. With the Stanford Cardinal losing their second straight game, they fell out of the Top 25(with losses to Notre Dame and Utah.) The game at Washington State is an important one for Oregon.

Oregon Football hits the road for a test against Washington State. The Ducks have not fared well in Pullman, struggling in their last four games. Beating both Washingon schools over the next two weeks could give Mario Cristobal and the team some breathing room heading into the final month of the regular season.  Following the game with Washington State, Oregon will have played four of the five teams in the Pac-12 North. Their next three opponents are from the Pac-12 South. (Arizona, UCLA, Utah, and Arizona State.)

The Ducks have both UCLA and Arizona State at home before closing out the season travelling to Corvallis to meet Oregon State. Oregon and Washington meet this weekend at Autzen Stadium on Saturday, October 13th. (12:30pm, ABC)
