The Pac-12 Conference has announced some early season football kickoff times and network designations in a press release.
Oregon is featured prominately.
Duck fans know that the first game of the season, at Georgia, is set for a 12:30 p.m. PT kickoff on ABC. But now we know how to prepare for the next couple of games in what is sure to be an exciting season for first-year coach Dan Lanning.
In Week 2, Oregon plays its first game at Autzen Stadium as the Ducks will host Eastern Washington at 5:30 p.m. PT on the Pac-12 Network Sept. 10. While most fans prefer that 12:30 window, the game time still isn’t too bad for fans traveling from across the state such as Portland, Medford or Bend.
That 12:30 window is revisited once again in Week 3, Sept. 17, as BYU comes calling in a game that is receiving very little fanfare but is surely going to become bigger as it approaches. Those in television already know how big that game could be as it was picked up by FOX.
There was also a scheduling change. Originally set for Friday, Nov. 25, the Ducks will travel to what’s left of Reser Stadium a day later, Nov. 26, to take on the Beavers. The stadium is in the midst of a remodel, so tickets will be at an all-time premium. It’s set to be broadcast on one of the ESPN family of networks or ABC. Game time hasn’t been announced yet.
