Dillon Mitchell enters Civil War just 36 yards from Oregon single-season receiving record

EUGENE -- Dillon Mitchell will likely make Oregon program history during the Civil War.

The Ducks wide receiver needs just 36 yards to set a new single-season school record for receiving yards and 10 catches to take over Oregon's record for receptions in a season.

Mitchell, who has 68 receptions for a Pac-12 leading 1,105 yards with nine touchdowns, has had six catches of 36 or more yards this season and caught a pass in 16 straight games.

So it truly is not a matter of if, but when he'll break the record. Safely assuming it will be on Friday, Mitchell's feat will add a historic note to the Civil War.
