This Big Ten conference matchup is highlighted by a familiar foe returning to Eugene in Michigan State coach Jonathan Smith.

The Oregon football team will be hard to miss in this game as the Ducks debut their bright yellow “Heroes” uniform combination designed by Coach Lanning and his family. The uniforms are designed to represent triumph and show support for those who have battled cancer. Oregon and coach Lanning want to “eradicate cancer” and raise awareness in the fight for a cure.

Cancer hits close to home for the Lanning’s, as Coach Lanning’s wife, Sauphia, completed treatment for bone cancer in 2017 and has been cancer-free since.

“So I was on a plane and I started sketching it. It just came to me,” said Sauphia Lanning. “One really cool thing that I’m so glad has been preserved is the medical symbol that is put in place for the doctors and the nurses, the real heroes.”

With a win, Oregon would extend its undefeated (6-0) streak in Friday night games at Autzen Stadium. The Ducks also have a chance to continue their recent success in the night games as they prepare for Friday’s 6 p.m. start. The Ducks are 6-0 under coach Lanning in games starting at 6:00 PM PT or later.

Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel leads college football with an 81.5 completion percentage. Can Gabriel and curator Tez Johnson continue their excellent bond? Johnson is fresh off his second consecutive 100-yard game, having 11 catches for 121 yards and two touchdowns at UCLA last week after a seven-catch, 110-yard game at Oregon State.

Can Gabriel and the Ducks remain undefeated? Oregon is a three-touchdown favorite over Michigan State.

Pregame: Luke Dunne and Dante Moore take the field with special “Stomp Out Cancer” flags. Both athletes have been personally affected by a family diagnosis of cancer.
