5 Must-Watch Oregon Football Games In 2015

Oregon Ducks Cheerleaders — In 2014, Oregon got back to the National Championship game for the first time since 2011. But like that team, the Ducks couldn't get the job done, 42-20 to Ohio State. Even with Marcus Mariota's absence, the Ducks are favored to get back to the College Football Playoff. Here are five must-watch games for Oregon in 2015.

Mark Helfrich Oregon — You can throw out the records in the Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State. After crushing the Beavers last year, the Ducks will face a different Oregon State squad led by former Wisconsin coach Gary Andersen.

4. Thursday October 29: at Arizona State

Mark Helfrich Oregon — Arizona State is one of the most underrated teams in the Pac-12 and always gives Oregon a good test. The Sun Devils will be without players like Jaelen Strong and Damarious Randall, but the Sun Devils have a talented young quarterback in Mike Bercovici.

3. Saturday November 14: at Stanford

3. Saturday November 14: at Stanford

Mark Helfrich Oregon — Outside of last year's blowout, Stanford have played the Ducks close whether it's at home or on the road. In 2012 and 2013, the Cardinal tripped up the Ducks by dominating the line of scrimmage. Stanford's defense will be young this season, but the Cardinal will have an experienced offense and offensive line in 2015.

2. Saturday November 21: vs. USC

Marcus Mariota Oregon

2. Saturday November 21: vs. USC

Marcus Mariota Oregon — After not facing each other last year, the two best teams in the Pac-12 will face one another when Oregon hosts USC. The Trojans will surely miss Nelson Agholor and Leonard Williams, but Cody Kessler has the potential to shred the Ducks' defense with his arm.

1. Saturday September 12: at Michigan State

1. Saturday September 12: at Michigan State

Mark Helfrich Oregon — In last year's game, Michigan State more than held their own against the Ducks for three quarters, but faltered in the fourth. This year's game is in East Lansing, and the home-field advantage that the Ducks have had will be gone.
