Folks, it's that time of the week again. The Ducks will be in Pasadena on Saturday night for an Oregon vs. UCLA Big Ten After Dark special to kick off a new era in a new conference.

Dan Lanning and the Ducks are fresh off a bye after demolishing Oregon State in Week 3. Oregon beat its in-state rival in Corvallis, 49-14. The game was never really in doubt and that's the Oregon team that everyone expected before the season began. It took this team a little longer than expected to catch fire, but here we are.

Now Oregon will be in Pasadena for its second straight road game and it's against a familiar former Pac-12 foe. It's fitting that Oregon will kick off Big Ten play with a Big Ten (Pac-12) After Dark showdown against a former Pac-12 opponent.

Before we get too excited for this first Big Ten game in Oregon history, let's see which Ducks and Bruins will be absent due to injuries.
