There was a little bit of everything happening at Autzen Stadium Saturday afternoon. Good weather, good fans, good food, and for those who like to watch defense, they were satisfied too.
The Oregon Ducks football team held their annual Spring Game in front of an estimated crowd of 45,000 fans. They saw Bo Nix’s Green Team defeat Ty Thompson’s Yellow Team 23-20 where the weather was sunny and 80 degrees. It was the perfect day to watch a sporting event.
But it was the defenses for both squads that showed out proving this is truly a Dan Lanning program. Both offenses did manage to make some big plays in the second half. Transfer Tez Johnson showed his speed and agility all in one play and Kris Hutson led all receivers with 143 yards and a touchdown.
Oregon also hosted numerous possible recruits, including many 5-stars. It was a perfect scene to show future Ducks what is in store for them should they choose to play football in Eugene.
After watching the festivities at Autzen, some fans meandered over to PK Park to watch the baseball team defeat No. 12 Arizona State 16-10. Here’s how the day went in photos.
