EUGENE, Ore. – Oregon football is entering into a new era as they make their debut in the Big Ten Conference. A beefed-up schedule and more national exposure are just the start. The Ducks will host their annual spring game on April 27 at Autzen Stadium. You can watch for free.
The Green vs White spring game will take place at 4 p.m. Eastern and be televised on the PAC-12 Network. If you don’t have cable, you can always take advantage of a free streaming trial from Fubu There are also discount options from Sling TV.
In his third year with the program, head coach Dan Lanning is 22-5.
The Ducks (12-2) just couldn’t get passed Washington as the national runner-up defeated them in the regular season meeting and the PAC-12 championship. Those were Oregon’s only losses of the season.
The Ducks are stacked at quarterback with the arrival of senior Dillon Gabriel and sophomore Dante Moore. Gabriel transferred out of Oklahoma after posting 3,660 yards and 30 touchdowns with six interceptions. He had the fourth-highest QBR (87.0) in the nation.
Moore is a UCLA transfer who has the intangibles to be special.
Led by star QB Bo Nix, the Ducks offense was prolific last season. They were first in yards per game (346.9), passing completion (77.2%) and total touchdowns (49).
Oregon will look to fill holes from the draft departures of Nix, receiver Troy Franklin and versatile weapon Bucky Irving.
Promising debuts include junior wide receiver Texas A&M transfer Evan Stewart and junior cornerback Washington transfer Jabbar Muhammad and senior safety Kansas State transfer Kobe Savage.
Five-star freshman linebacker Elijah Rushing could steal the show early.
With the new landscape, the Ducks will face Ohio State, Michigan and Washington, among other heavy hitters next year.
Here are more details about the spring game and how to watch it via various TV and streaming options:
Here is part of a breakdown on how the PAC-12 landscape has disintegrated by the AP:
Football programs across the Pac-12 have spent the spring practicing and scrimmaging, laying the groundwork for the 2024 season.
The difference between this and previous springs is the teams will go in different directions once fall camp rolls around.
Southern California, UCLA, Oregon and Washington are headed to the Big Ten. Arizona, Arizona State, Utah and Colorado will be in the Big 12. Stanford and California are going to the Atlantic Coast Conference.
That leaves a Pac-2 of Washington State and Oregon State, which have a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West Conference for at least next season.
The Pac-12 as we know it will no longer exist, but for now the schools all fall under the same umbrella when it comes to one thing: Getting ready for the upcoming season.
NEW COACHES
Kalen DeBoer banked Washington’s run to the national title game into a job at Alabama, where he’s replacing Hall of Fame coach Nick Saban. DeBoer’s departure sent the coaching dominoes in motion.
Jedd Fisch, who revitalized Arizona’s program in a short span, moved to the Pacific Northwest to coach at Washington. Arizona in turn hired former San Jose State coach Brent Brennan to try continuing the momentum Fisch built in the desert.
UCLA will have a new coach for its move to the Big Ten, with alumnus DeShaun Foster taking over for Chip Kelly, now Ohio State’s offensive coordinator.
Oregon State also will have a new coach in Trent Bray, who was promoted after Jonathan Smith left to become Michigan State’s coach.
QB CAROUSEL
The Pac-12 has lost a Heisman Trophy winner and two finalists — all quarterbacks taken in the first round of Thursday’s NFL draft.
USC’s Caleb Williams, the 2022 Heisman winner, was taken with the No. 1 overall pick by Chicago. Atlanta took Washington’s Michael Penix with the No. 18 pick and Denver used the 13th pick on Oregon’s Bo Nix.
At USC, longtime backup Miller Moss is the frontrunner to replace Williams, but he threw two interceptions in the spring game.
Washington will likely turn to Will Rogers, who put up prodigious numbers at Mississippi State before transferring. Oregon’s offense is expected to be run by Dillon Gabriel, who also put up big numbers during two seasons at Oklahoma. The Ducks also have former UCLA quarterback Dante Moore on their roster.
