Oregon brings a 14 game home win streak into the home opener against the Wolfpack. The Ducks beat Nevada in their home opener back in 2011 and ironically also topped Montana in 2005, the game that started the current home winning streak when it comes to home openers at Autzen Stadium.
Head Coach Mario Cristobal is entering his second season as Head Coach after a successful first year that saw Oregon finish out the season with a 7-6 win against Michigan State. Several key players are returning including Heisman Hopeful Quarterback Justin Herbert. The run game will play a big role this season with CJ Verdell and Cyrus Habibi-Likio joined in the backfield by Freshman Sean Dollars. Dollars has yet to arrive on campus but will be here in time for Fall Camp.
Fox Sports 1 also announced on Thursday that the Friday, October 11th game vs Colorado will kick off at 7 pm Pacific Time.
Fans should not be surprised that the first quarter of the season is in Primetime. With key returning players who bring experience and a second year Head Coach looking to build on last season’s success, the Ducks bring a compelling storyline into the year. In looking at the Pac-12 North, it is once again Washington, Oregon and everyone else. The Ducks need to take care of business at home as the key Pac-12 games are on the road this season starting in September with a trip to Stanford.
