The Cougs will head to Eugene one last time as conference members in two weeks
Washington State will head to Oregon to take on the Ducks in two weeks for the final time as conference members and the Pac-12 announced on Monday that kick off is scheduled for October 21st at 12:30 on ABC.
The Ducks are currently 5-0 with a matchup against Washington this weekend. They have faced just one ranked team so far this year when they hosted #19 Colorado a few weeks ago and put up 42 points on a Buffs team that has since struggled.
The Cougs are coming off of a disappointing loss to UCLA this past weekend and their first game they have not had over 300 yards total offense. Ward finished with 197 yards, 2 interceptions and 1 touchdown while Nakia Watson was the only running back to finish with positive yards as he managed just 25 on 11 carries. The Cougs could not get anything rolling on Saturday and it showed.
The Ducks on the other hand are currently coming off of a bye but last faced Stanford in their second consecutive 42-6 blowout.
The Cougs will host Arizona for homecoming this weekend and will either face former Coug Jayden De Laura or freshman Noah Fifita who has started the last two games for the Wildcats and put up 232 yards against Washington and 303 yards against USC.
