Oregon Football draws the late start at UCLA
Oregon Football had their game time selection for UCLA moved last week to the six-day window. The determination was made late on Saturday night and the Ducks will open Big Ten play at UCLA with a Big Ten After Dark game in LA.
Oregon enters the matchup at 3-0 having answered some questions after their win at Oregon State. The Ducks struggled in their first two games at times in defeating Idaho and Boise State to start the 2024 season. Despite being undefeated, Oregon slipped in the polls from a top five team to a top ten team. Of course, the early part of the season is more of a beauty contest than a determiner of anything of substance or importance, which changes this week.
Oregon Quarterback Dillon Gabriel showed off his legs vs Oregon State, scoring a touchdown on the ground in the 49-14 win over the Beavers. The win also showed Gabriel’s efficiency. Through three games he has found his wide receivers completing better than 80 percent of his passes.
Oregon fans now know the start times for the next three games. The Ducks and Bruins kickoff on Saturday at 8pm Pacific Time on FOX. Oregon will host Michigan State next week on a Friday night, October 4th for a 6pm Pacific Time kickoff also on FOX. Oregon will then host Ohio State in one of the most anticipated games of 2024 at Autzen Stadium on Saturday, October 12th on NBC. Kickoff vs the Buckeyes is set for 4:30pm Pacific time.
