Autzen Stadium is almost 60 years old and there aren’t many firsts left for the facility. But on Friday night, Autzen, the Oregon Ducks and the fans were ready to show out for the first Big Ten Conference game against Michigan State.
The weather was perfect after some rain fell in Eugene earlier in the day, but the new visiting fans quickly found out that it never rains in Autzen Stadium.
With all of the off-the-field festivities out of the way, it was time for the Ducks to play football on the field and they didn’t disappoint. The defense was on point the entire night and Oregon defeated Michigan State 31-10 to move to 5-0 on the season and 2-0 in conference action.
Nearly 60,000 fans left the stadium happy with their team’s effort. But the real test occurs next week as No. 3 Ohio State comes to town.
Here are the best photos from the three-touchdown victory over the Spartans.
