Oregon Football will close out the regular season home slate with a game in Primetime.

Mario Cristobal has learned a lot about his team and the adversity they have played through since their win against Washington last month. The Ducks have lost two of their last three games, two of them on the road. Both losses showed that the team was not able to play the same on the road following their first Pac-12 road test earlier this season against the California Golden Bears, their lone road victory.

Over the last few weeks, Offensive Coordinator Marcus Arroyo has received some of the blame from fans, bot Cristobal insists the team looks different in practice in certain situations than on the field this season and that inconsistency has Oregon out of the College Football Playoff hunt this season.

Oregon Football returns home for Senior Night at Autzen Stadium at 7:30 pm Pacific Time.

The players that the team is honoring this season are special. Not just for the players they have become, but for enduring something no player wants to do during their college career. Some have done it twice. Many were Freshman when Mark Helfrich was Head Coach. They have endured the one season with Willie Taggart and another change to now Head Coach Mario Cristobal.

Cristobal had the ears of many of the players on the team and received a big vote of confidence that went all the way to Athletic Director Rob Mullens.

Oregon Football needs some momentum to close out the season, a win over Arizona State with a road test at Oregon State to close out the year could give the Ducks a boost heading into their bowl game and for next season. (Oregon opens 2019 against Auburn.)

Oregon and Arizona State meet at Autzen Stadiium Saturday night at 7:30 pm Pacific Time. The game will be broadcast on Pac-12 Network.
