Football: Easy Does It?

Related Topics: American football

It’s Oregon’s first football season in the heralded Big Ten Conference and everyone is ready for the team to hit the gridiron for some exhilarating play!

It’s just...they may have to wait.

Probably about six weeks.

Known in recent seasons for scheduling big name opponents early on (Auburn, Ohio State, Georgia), the 2024 Ducks will have to wait a while before they get to go toe to toe with someone formidable. In fact, it may well be a walk in the park early on.

It’s not necessarily Oregon’s fault. Boise State has historically been a rather strong team from a small conference the last 20 years, and the Ducks have yet to beat them in football.
