Gameday Info

HISTORY: Oregon leads the all-time series 66-47-10 and is 33-21-6 in games in Eugene. The Ducks have a higher winning percentage in games in Corvallis (.574, 31-23-3) than in Eugene (.558). Oregon has won 11 of 13 since the Beavers' last win in Autzen Stadium in 2007. That was also the last time Oregon State had back-to-back wins over the Ducks. Oregon State rallied from a 31-19 deficit after three quarters to win last year's game, without fans in attendance, 41-38 at Reser Stadium. Oregon needs a win to reach its third straight Pac-12 championship game. A win by the Beavers creates a three-way tie for the North Division title, but Washington State goes to the Pac-12 title game then. The last time this game had such important stakes for both teams was 2009 when either team would have gone to the Rose Bowl with a win and the Ducks prevailed 37-33 at Autzen Stadium in Chip Kelly's first year as head coach. Oregon has won 18 straight home games and is 21-1 at Autzen under Mario Cristobal.
