More on Stanford vs. Oregon

Oregon started off the season slower than most anticipated, but the Ducks are now 4-1 in their last fives Pac-12 games with the only loss coming at home against Colorado. Over that stretch, they also beat Colorado on the road and picked up wins over rivals Oregon State and Washington. The schedule gets tougher down the stretch with four consecutive top 25 matchups later this month and two games against Washington State.

Stanford entered the season with low expectations but picked up a good win in the first meeting between these two teams. The Cardinals has alternated wins and loses in recent weeks and sits at 2-3 in the last five with two losses against UCLA. Stanford plays five of its final seven games on the road starting Thursday.
