The No. 3 Oregon Ducks host the No. 7 Indiana Hoosiers in Autzen Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 11. What color do Oregon fans wear?
The Ducks color schedule encourages fans to wear yellow vs. Indiana as coach Dan Lanning and quarterback Dante Moore look to lead the Ducks to another top-10 victory.
Oregon fans have a chance to be a difference maker in Autzen Stadium with College Football Playoff and Big Ten Conference implications on the line. Oregon’s passionate fan base has helped Autzen Stadium earn a reputation as a punishing environment for visiting teams.
With a true home-field advantage, Oregon has won 18 consecutive home games, the longest active home winning streak in the nation.
Flashback to the last time the Ducks' hosted a top-10 team in Autzen Stadium... Oregon's fans roared in the loudest environment many (including Ohio State receiver Jeremiah Smith) have ever been apart of. The then-No. 3 Ducks beat the then. No. 2 Ohio State Buckeyes, 32-31, in a game that was also the last appearance for “College GameDay” in Eugene.
Can Oregon fans bring it again as a new Big Ten foe comes to Autzen?
ESPN's College GameDay will make its 13th all-time appearance in Eugene when Oregon returns from its bye week and hosts the Hoosiers (who are also fresh off a bye.) The iconic football show chose the Ducks over the Red River Rivalry (Oklahoma at Texas) - which speaks volumes to the importance of the Big Ten vs. the SEC in the current college football landscape.
The set for College GameDay will again be located on the Memorial Quad on the University of Oregon campus.
Ducks fans will have to keep an eye out for Kirk Herbstreit's dog Peter as the crew arrives into Eugene. Last year ahead of the Ohio State game, Oregon Ducks on SI reporter Bri Amaranthus spotted Rece Davis at Beppe and Gianni's restaurant.
Oregon holds a 20-13 record all-time in games featured on College GameDay, including a 9-3 mark at home. With their Sept. 27 victory over Penn State, the Ducks improved to 8–4 on the road when the show is in town.

QUOTABLE Indiana coach Curt Cignetti, who started his coaching career more than 40 years ago, raved about Lanning in his fourth season as Oregon's head coach.
"Big, fast, athletic, physical, depth. Coach Lanning has done a tremendous job recruiting, development, attention. Probably one of the most impressive young coaching phenoms to come around in a while I would say, having been in this game for a little bit. They’re a great football team. Looking forward to the challenge. Confidence in our team," said Cignetti.
