The Oregon Ducks have been on a roll this season after their loss at home against Arizona. Last weekend they beat Colorado 44-10 and will look to close out the regular season this weekend in the Civil War against in-state rival Oregon State. It was announced on Sunday that the game against OSU would kickoff in Primetime, and likely for good reason. There are plenty of storylines in this one.

Oregon State has five wins on the year and needs one more victory to reach bowl eligibility. Oregon State will also be saying goodbye to their Seniors, including Quarterback Sean Mannion. Of late, Oregon State is where Pac-12 teams go to die. Two weeks ago one of the top contenders in Arizona State fell in Corvallis on a Saturday night. Now, Oregon takes their College Football Playoff hopes just up I-5.

Oregon Ducks Quarterback Marcus Mariota may be on his final season playing for Oregon as the possibility of entering the NFL Draft looms larger. He has yet to make a decision on his future. Oregon State QB Sean Mannion would love to end the season with a win over Mariota and Oregon. It would, of course, also mean their season is not over.

Oregon and Oregon State will kickoff on Saturday at 5pm Pacific Time on ABC in the National window. AutzenZoo will have Live Coverage starting at 4pm Pacific time and will also be providing coverage on Twitter using the #EDNSports.
