After several weeks of spring practice in Eugene, fans of the Oregon Ducks will get to see the team at long last on Saturday during the annual spring game at Autzen Stadium. It is a tradition unlike any other in Eugene, with the stands around Rich Brooks Field filling up fast as the players prepare to showcase their improvement over the offseason.
It should be a thrilling event in 2025, with a new-look roster in Eugene getting set to make waves and uphold the standard that was set by those who came before them. With players like Dante Moore, Austin Novosad, Dillon Thieneman, Matayo Uiagaleleil, and Makhi Hughes getting set to take the field, intrigue will certainly be high.
