It was Senior Day at Autzen Stadium as the Oregon Ducks met the Stanford Cardinal. Both teams have had a season where expectations have fallen short, but one team would take advantage on Saturday. The Ducks needed the win more. Winning out for Oregon may mean a bowl game, but one loss in the last three means the season coming to an end after the Civil War against Oregon State.
Oregon won the coin toss and would receive the opening kickoff.
The Ducks started the game with two unsuccessful runs from Royce Freeman and an incomplete pass to Senior Pharoah Brown forcing a punt.
