The Pac-12 Conference released the complete 2016 football schedule for all 12 schools on Tuesday.
The Ducks will open their season with home games against UC Davis on Sept. 3 and Virgina on Sept. 10, before hitting the road for a showdown with Big Ten power Nebraska. It will be the first game of a two-year series between Oregon and Nebraska.
The Ducks begin their conference schedule with a home game against Colorado on Sept. 24. Then the Ducks will play Washington State in Pullman on Oct. 1 before returning home to face rival Washington on Oct. 8.
The toughest part of Oregon’s schedule is once again its second half. After a Friday night road game against Cal, the Ducks face Arizona State, USC, Stanford and Utah for consecutive seasons. The Ducks conclude the regular season with the Civil War against Oregon State, this time in Corvallis.
For the second season in a row, the Ducks won’t face Pac-12 South foes UCLA and Arizona.
Here is the schedule in its entirety:
