Many Duck fans are going to sleep very well Saturday night.
A lot of them showed up at 4 a.m. for ESPN College GameDay and left Autzen Stadium 12 hours later with an Oregon 45-30 victory over UCLA.
It was a banner day in numerous ways with Lee Corso’s reunion with the Duck to Sabrina Ionescu being back on campus to be the guest picker. Former coach Chip Kelly was also in town, but he was on the opposite sideline as the coach of the Bruins.
Obviously, the highlight of the entire day was Oregon managing to get its biggest win of the Dan Lanning Era to date with the win over No. 10 UCLA. With the victory, the Ducks are 6-1 overall and 4-0 in conference play. They’ve also asserted themselves as the favorite to win the Pac-12.
Here are the photos that illustrate the long, but successful day in Eugene.
