The No. 1 Oregon Ducks have another game on national television against the Michigan Wolverines on Nov. 2. CBS will have the TV broadcast, and the game is scheduled to kick off at 12:30 p.m. PT.
The Ducks are rolling in their first year as a member of the Big Ten Conference, coming off a Friday-night shutout win over the Purdue Boilermakers. Oregon coach Dan Lanning has his team at No. 1 in the AP Top 25 Poll.
With the success comes a lot of eyes, and the Ducks will have their sixth nationally televised game against Michigan.
Oregon's trip to "The Big House" was anticipated as a highly-ranked matchup between the Ducks and the Wolverines. While the Ducks are 7-0, Michigan sits at a disappointing 4-3 before facing the Michigan State Spartans on Oct. 26. The Wolverines have struggled to find consistent play at quarterback, rotating between Davis Warren, Jack Tuttle, and Alex Orji.
After beating Purdue 35-0, Lanning continued to preach the importance of maintaining a high standard for this Oregon Ducks team.
"I thought our guys came in ready to work on Monday," said Lanning. "Understand you can't sit back and rest on your laurels like we must improve. We got to get better, and I think that started Monday practice for our guys this past week. They worked really hard this week. And again, regardless of result, I'll tell you, these guys had a good week of practice. I'm glad that the score indicated that at the end of the game."
Oregon has time before facing the Wolverines on Oct. 26, and a matchup with No. 20 Illinois in Autzen Stadium stands in their way.
Before the Ducks travel to Michigan, they will host Illinois on Saturday in the same CBS TV slot, 12:30 p.m. PT.
