Oregon is bringing a familiar look to Autzen Stadium for Saturday night’s matchup with Nebraska.
The Ducks announced they’ll wear green helmets with black feathers, black jerseys and green pants for the 8 p.m. home game. It’s the same green-and-black helmet and jersey combination Oregon used on Nov. 22, 2025, when it beat USC 42-17 at Autzen Stadium, though that night the Ducks paired it with black pants.
This will be the third time in 2026 that Oregon has gone with green pants. The Ducks used that look with white jerseys at Oklahoma State and again with green jerseys in the home win over Portland State.
Oregon enters the game at 3-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten, while Nebraska arrives at 5-1 and 2-1. Saturday’s game is set for Oct. 17 at Autzen Stadium, with Oregon listed as a 7-point favorite. FOX will televise the game, and it will air on the Oregon Sports Network radio feed.
The Ducks have already rolled out a string of different combinations this season. In their most recent home game, Oregon wore a uniform that came up short in a 17-15 loss to UCLA on Oct.
- Before that, the Ducks beat USC 41-27 on Sept. 26, blanked Portland State 84-0 on Sept. 18 and lost 39-31 at Oklahoma State after opening the year with a 34-27 win over Boise State on Sept.
Last season’s late stretch also brought several distinct uniform reveals, including the Peach Bowl against Indiana, the Orange Bowl against Texas Tech, and regular-season looks against James Madison, Washington, USC, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Rutgers, Indiana, Oregon State, Northwestern, Oklahoma State and Montana State.

Dan Lanning Just Changed Oregons Biggest Nebraska Game Storyline
Dylan Raiola had been trending into a more central role for Oregon after his strong showing against USC, but the momentum stalled quickly in the next game against UCLA. Now Dan Lanning has made the call to keep Brock Thomas in the starting job against Nebraska, a move that shifts one of the biggest storylines of the week and changes how the Ducks will approach a matchup with Raiolas former team.
Lanning pointed to Raiolas recent performance and the adjustments Oregon has made on offense as the reasons behind the decision, which gives the Ducks a clearer picture heading into a game that already carried plenty of extra intrigue. For Raiola, the opportunity to face Nebraska will still be there, but it comes with a different role than many expected when the schedule first set up this reunion. [Read more 🡒]
Oregon Commit Brayton Feister Is Back On The Field Amid Dispute
Brayton Feister is back on the field at Massillon Washington High School after the Fifth District Court of Appeals ruled that he and his brother Brydon are eligible to play, overturning the Ohio High School Athletic Associations earlier ineligibility decision. The brothers had been sidelined over transfer and disciplinary issues, but the latest ruling granted them a preliminary permanent injunction and cleared the way for them to continue their senior season.
For Oregon, it means one of its commitments is once again taking part in the kind of late-season football that can matter in more than one way, from development to momentum before the next level. The OHSAA still has the option to keep fighting the case, so the legal side of the story is not necessarily finished, but for now Feister is back where he wants to be, and that is on the field.

Oregon Heads Home With One Big Problem Against Nebraska
Oregon heads into its Week 7 home game against Nebraska trying to regroup after a 17-15 loss to UCLA pushed the Ducks out of the rankings. The trip back to Autzen Stadium brings a familiar sort of pressure, with a favored team expected to rebound quickly and get its season pointed back in the right direction.
The bigger issue, though, is still unsettled at quarterback. Oregon has multiple players competing for the job and has not named a starter, leaving the Ducks to sort out the most important spot on the field before a nationally televised matchup on Fox and the Fox Sports app. Against a Nebraska team coming in with a chance to test Oregon early, the Ducks will be looking for answers as much as a win.
