Tue Sep 24 03:15:57 UTC 2024: ## Oregon Ducks Head to Rose Bowl for First Big Ten Game Against UCLA
The undefeated Oregon Ducks are heading on the road for their first ever Big Ten conference game against the UCLA Bruins, kicking off at 8 p.m. on Saturday at the Rose Bowl. After a bye week, Coach Dan Lanning expressed satisfaction with his team’s progress, highlighting their focused approach to improving during the week off.
While UCLA’s offense, led by offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, a former Kansas City Chiefs offensive staff member, has struggled so far this season, Lanning warns against underestimating the Bruins, who boast five former Ducks on their roster, including quarterback Ethan Garbers. Despite a few injuries, the Ducks are looking to maintain their momentum from their dominant victory over Oregon State.
Notable injury updates include offensive lineman Matthew Bedford, who suffered a setback during practice last week, and cornerback Jahlil Florence, who remains sidelined and has yet to be cleared for the season.
Oregon fans are eagerly awaiting this matchup, hoping to see the Ducks continue their winning streak in a challenging environment. This game is a key test for the Ducks as they navigate a new conference and strive to stay atop the standings.
