There’s seemingly a pretty good chance that the game on October 22 between the No. 12 Oregon Ducks and No. 11 UCLA Bruins is turned into the defacto game of the day in college football.
With two of the best teams in the conference clashing in Eugene, many expect ESPN’s College GameDay to be in town for the matchup, and a major fan turnout will also be in order, with Oregon playing arguably their biggest home game of the season thus far.
Head coach Dan Lanning also expects there to be a pretty big opportunity on the recruiting trail as well.

“Next game, I’m hoping to have some really great players on campus,” Lanning said on Tuesday. “It’s gonna be an awesome atmosphere, obviously getting the opportunity to play UCLA, who’s a really good team clicking on all cylinders right now. But that environment I think, from our fans and for recruits is gonna be really special.”
The Ducks have been incredibly successful on the trail already in 2023, where they have the No. 13 class in the nation, headlined by 5-star QB Dante Moore and 5-star WR Jurrion Dickey.

As we did in the game against Stanford a couple of weeks ago, you can likely expect to see a number of recruits in town who have already committed to Oregon, as well as some of the top uncommitted prospects in the nation as well. Over the coming week, I’m sure we will start to see some of the names expected to be in attendance.
