The exhibition will be held on the 27th, at 11 a.m. PT. It will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network.
The game, held at Autzen Stadium, has grown in popularity along with the Ducks, who finished the year No. 2 in the nation after capping a 12-1 season with a Fiesta Bowl win. Two years ago, the game was broadcast live on ESPN2, and this past year, a record 44,129 fans showed up to watch a game where Marcus Mariota made it clear he was a likely potential starter. Chip Kelly keeps all practices closed except the Spring Game, which is a contest between two randomly divided teams -- last year, they were named "Mighty Oregon" and "Fighting Ducks," with Mariota's team romping over a squad led by Bryan Bennett.
The Ducks return the majority of their skill players from an offense that scored 49.6 points per game. They lose Kenjon Barner at running back, but that means that the extraordinarily versatile De'Anthony Thomas -- now a junior -- finally has nobody ahead of him on the depth chart.
