Number 5 Oregon is starting the Big 10 season on the road in Evanston, Illinois Saturday. The Ducks are getting a lot more notice in the national press this week after last Saturday’s result against Oklahoma State. The 69 points landed the Ducks in the top 10 of several all-time school records.

This Saturday’s coverage at Northwestern starts at 7 AM on KBND.

Oregon State is on the road at number 21 Texas Tech Saturday. There is much talk on social media and sports radio about the hot seat for Beavers head coach Trent Bray and various members of his coaching staff with the 0 - 2 start after OSU was favored to win both contests. The consensus as of today is Bray wouldn’t be fired if they lost to the 2 - 0 Red Raiders who are favored at home but some assistant coaches could have their last stop in Lubbock if an improvement isn’t obvious.

And a calendar note: Oregon State’s game at Oregon next Saturday the 20th has been scheduled for a 12:30 kickoff.
