Oregon opens their Pac-12 schedule with a game that, this time last season, they might not have considered the toughest challenge amongst their opening swathe of games. Having pulverized non-FBS opponent Portland State 81-7 to open the season, hammered Hawaii in Week 3, and left Lubbock with a win against a tough Texas Tech team, Colorado comes to Eugene.

Lanning’s barbed comments add a little needle to a game that is considerably more challenging for the Ducks than the responding 49-10 win last fall and than their 15-9 head-to-head advantage would suggest.
Meanwhile, it begins a difficult Pac-12 schedule that features trips to Washington and Utah and tough home dates with USC and Oregon State.

Colorado has just two seasons over .500 in the Pac-12 since 2010, and their attempts to become a nationally relevant entity begin with becoming a competitive force in their own conference. Deion Sanders‘ team travels to Oregon to open their final campaign in the Pac-12, wanting to prove that the close-fought win over Colorado State is a false representation of their ability.
We’ll certainly have a more complete idea of who Colorado is, and who they can be by the time their first two Pac-12 games are complete.
The road trip to Eugene is comfortably the toughest game on their schedule to date, but then they welcome the unstoppable offensive force that is USC and Caleb Williams to Boulder. Road games at UCLA and Utah may define their season.
