It’s early, I get it. Why are we talking about Stanford playing Oregon and it’s August and they just played Rice? Quietly, the Stanford Oregon rivalry is one of the best in the Pac12 and the Ducks in Euguene are going to do anything they can to avoid another dreadful season as they had last year, so we need to take a peek even before games have kicked off.
The matchups between the Cardinal and the Oregon Ducks are some of the best games that we’ve seen in recent history. The Pac 12 rivalry that doesn’t get as much street cred as the one from across the Bay, but it seems as though every time the Cardinal and Ducks face-off there’s something major to lose by the end of the game.
