The Oregon football team released its 2014 schedule on Wednesday. The season opens up when the Ducks face South Dakota on Aug. 30.
“We are fortunate to provide one of the strongest schedules in the country,” Athletic Director Rob Mullens said in a press release. “With the Rose Bowl Champion Michigan State Spartans, Stanford and Washington visiting, we are confident our fans will rise to the occasion and again make Autzen one of the toughest venues in college football.”
The team will have all its non-conference games at home, including a matchup with the Michigan State Spartans, the winners of the 2013 Rose Bowl, on Sept. 6.
The Ducks will welcome both teams that they lost to in the regular season last year. The Arizona Wildcats will visit Autzen Stadium on Oct. 2, a Thursday, as well as Stanford on Nov. 1.
The Ducks will hit the road for the first time this season when they take on the Washington State Cougars on Sept. 2o.
