Duck fb, June 27

EUGENE, Ore. – The kickoff times and TV destinations for three of Oregon’s home football games, highlighted by the home opener against Nevada, were unveiled on Thursday morning by the Pac-12 office. The Ducks will open their 53rd season inside Autzen Stadium against Nevada on Sept. 7, at 4:30 p.m. on the Pac-12 Network. Oregon’s second home game against Montana on Saturday, Sept. 14, will kick off at 7:45 p.m. on the Pac-12 Network, while its Friday night Pac-12 showdown with Colorado on Oct. 11th at Autzen Stadium will begin at 7 p.m. on FS1. Oregon will carry a 14-game win streak in home openers into its showdown with Nevada, which includes a win over the Wolfpack to open the 2011 home slate and a victory over Montana in 2005 to begin the streak. Both of the aforementioned meetings were the last between the teams, while the Ducks are 6-1 all-time against Nevada and 7-0-1 against Montana.  Highlighted by Heisman hopeful quarterback Justin Herbert, Oregon returns a combined 17 positional starters, which ranks tied for fourth nationally. The 2018 club produced a 9-4 season under first-year head coach Mario Cristobal that was capped with three consecutive wins, including a victory over Michigan State in the Redbox Bowl. The Ducks will also usher in a consensus top 10 recruiting class.
