This is a game college football fans have had circled on the calendar for quite some time, and a matchup we haven’t seen since the Pac-12 championship game in 2020.
It’s the No. 6 Oregon Ducks vs. the No. 24 USC Trojans, and it’s bound to be a fun one.
On Saturday night, it was announced the first meeting of Lincoln Riley and Dan Lanning will take place at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 11, aired on FOX.

Unsurprisingly, this matchup gets a marquee time slot, though it has lost a bit of luster since the preseason. While the Ducks are holding up their end of the bargain and stand as one of the contenders to make the College Football Playoff, the Trojans have gone the other way. They have lost three of their last four games and barely escaped with a 50-49 win over the California Golden Bears for their last victory. This past week, they fell to the Washington Huskies, while Oregon beat Cal, 63-19.
Regardless of how close the game is, you can assume viewership is going to be big for this one, with both schools standing among the biggest brands on the West Coast, if not the nation.
