To be quite honest, it’s surprising Fox picked up this game as it seemed as this game was destined to be relegated to the Pac-12 Network.
Not only did Fox choose this contest, but the network gave the two teams a favorable start time. A national television audience, hopefully, will see how good Oregon is and watch Bo Nix continue his Heisman campaign.
According to weather reports, it’s supposed to be in the mid-70s at kickoff and partly cloudy. Considering the game is in the middle of the desert, the forecast could have been a lot more, shall we say, uncomfortable
The Oregon game is sandwiched in between the Michigan at Maryland matchup at 9 am and the nighcap featuring Texas at Iowa State at 5 pm.
