The Ducks experienced a quite competitive year, kicking off their 2017 season with NC State, which gave Oregon their first loss. Although many players returned from a rather successful previous season, the Ducks were faced with injuries and struggles defensively. Refusing to allow injury to be their excuse, the Ducks consistently worked towards unity as a team, and worked toward building a new identity for themselves. After their loss to NC State, and a cancelled Texas A&M game, the Ducks continued on to a three game winning streak, beating Oklahoma, Cal Poly and Idaho. A game versus UC Irvine snapped their streak, but the Ducks managed to gain the win against Montana and Idaho State to finish out their non-conference games.
