There’s only one statistic that counts when it comes to the Oregon Ducks – Stanford Cardinal football matchup on Saturday (4:30pm PT, FOX). Stanford only needs an Oregon loss to clinch the Pac-12 North.
The winner of this game has won the conference title every year since 2010 (in 2009 Oregon lost to Stanford but still won the conference). It’s been Oregon, Oregon, Stanford, Stanford, Oregon. For the 6th straight year this game means everything for the Oregon Ducks.
In order for a great team to get even better, they need to be pushed. Stanford has been that team for Oregon, and Oregon has been that team for Stanford.
