The Big Ten announced several changes to the conference football slate Wednesday afternoon, highlighting several matchups being moved to Friday night, including two Oregon Duck games this fall.
The Ducks’ Oct. 5 home game against Michigan State has been moved to 6 p.m. Friday, Oct. 4, and will air on FOX. Oregon’s road contest against Purdue on Oct. 19 will also be played at 5 p.m. Friday, Oct. 18, on FOX.
Oregon played just one Friday game last fall in the regular season, a 31-7 win over Oregon State over Thanksgiving weekend. The next week they played in the Pac-12 championship game against Washington on a Friday night in Las Vegas.
No other kickoff times have been announced as of Wednesday, but presumably the rest of Oregon’s games will be played on Saturdays throughout the fall.
