The Oregon Ducks will play just three Non-Conference games to start 2017 and all three opponents will challenge Oregon Football.

Oregon will have a total of seven home games next season, the first under Head Coach Willie Taggart. Oregon Football has a revamped Coaching Staff under the former USF and Western Kentucky Head Coach. It is a mix of Coaches from the Pac-12 and Around the Country. Several players are set to return in 2017.

Royce Freeman will be back for his Senior Season as will Tyrell Crosby which should provide a boost to the Offensive Line. The Non-Conference slate has some challenges including a home game with Nebraska and a road game against Wyoming. The Pac-12 slate is in the Ducks favor with home games against Cal, Washington State, and Oregon State.

Keep in mind that this is not Willie Taggart’s schedule, but the parting gift of Mark Helfrich since it was set before he was fired in Late November. Let’s take an early look at the Non-Conference  Schedule.
