Oregon Football returns several key players next season along with a bevy of new talent and it all begins on April 20th.
The College Football season begins in late August and typically runs through the end of November. After a win in the Red Box Bowl over Michigan State, the offseason work for Oregon Football has started for returning players as well as players that will be important contributors for the upcoming season, including Kayvon Thibodeaex who has already made his presence felt as part of the Pit Crew at basketball games this season. He was seen trash talking the USC bench last Sunday in the Ducks win over the Trojans at Matthew Knight Arena.
