Oregon and Oregon State Set for Historic Early Season Rivalry Clash

For the first time in over 60 years, the Ducks and Beavers will meet as nonconference opponents in September.

Oregon State and Oregon, both 2-0, will face off this Saturday at Reser Stadium in Corvallis.
This marks the first time the rivalry game is being played in September and as nonconference opponents since 1963.
Oregon State's new head coach Trent Bray leads a depleted roster after a tumultuous year, while Oregon prepares for its Big Ten debut.
The Ducks are 16.5-point favorites but have struggled with slow starts and offensive line issues in their first two games.
Both teams are emphasizing the significance of the rivalry, with Oregon players motivated by memories of their 2022 loss at Reser Stadium.
