Nebraska’s football history with the Oregon Ducks

A seismic change is coming to college football.

A seismic change is coming to college football. The story of conference realignment continues with the news that Oregon and Washington will be leaving the Pac-12 and joining the Big Ten starting in 2024.

The Ducks and Huskies will be joining fellow west coast schools USC and UCLA in the league next season. The Cornhuskers have a history with all four of the new conference members.

Nebraska and the Oregon Ducks first met on the football field on September 27, 1952. The Huskers would win that matchup by a score of 25-13.

Over the next 65 years, the two schools would meet eight times, with the Cornhuskers winning six of those matchups. Scroll below to take a look at each matchup between these (soon-to-be) conference rivals.
