FB STORY | The Oregon Ducks Blow Out The Colorado Buffaloes in their PAC-12 Opener.

Written and Audio Story by Wilder Lewis

The #10 overall Ducks came into the game looking to stay undefeated and snag their 4th win of the year as they went up the #19 Colorado Buffaloes who looked to also stay undefeated on the year.

The game started out with the Ducks getting the ball first, and they did not waste any time getting things going as they had 3 straight plays of 10+ yards to get into the Colorado half. The drive eventually capped off by a Noah Whittington 3 yard rush. Oregon's defense also didn't waste any time getting fired up as they, during Colorado's first drive, as they were able to hold Shedeur Sanders and the Buffs to -1 yards and a 3 and out drive. This trend remained fairly constant until there were 9 minutes left in the first half where Oregon scored their 3rd straight touchdown and Colorado still hadn't even seen the Ducks side of the field.

The Buffaloes defense was finally able to get a few things going as they gave Oregon…

Player Profile: Jeffrey Bassa

By Jonah Bruneau

EUGENE, OR — The 2023 Oregon Ducks defensive personnel saw a hefty amount of changes compared to the season prior, with the departures of Christian Gonzalez, Bennett Williams, Noah Sewell, and Jordan Riley off to the NFL. Transfers such as Khyree Jackson from Alabama have come in to be a key help in the secondary, yet the majority of the starters on the defensive side have come from within the Oregon system. One of those leaders from within: Junior Inside Linebacker Jeffrey Bassa.

A four-star recruit out of high school who was widely regarded as the top-rated safety in the state of Utah, Bassa is now in his third year wearing the Oregon green and yellow. As a true freshman in 2021, he opened up the season listed as a defensive back before soon making the switch primarily to an inside linebacker. Once the position switch was made, Bassa started making a big impact relatively quickly. In the Week 10 matchup at Washington, he received the PAC-…

FB Preview: Ducks Host Coach Prime and Colorado to Kick Off Pac-12 Season

By John Evans

EUGENE, OR - This weekend, the #10 Oregon Ducks will host Deion Sanders and the #19 Colorado Buffaloes at Autzen Stadium to kick off the start of the Pac-12 season for both teams.

They head into Saturday’s matchup with undefeated records, with the Ducks sporting wins over Portland State, Texas Tech, and Hawaii, and the Buffaloes defeating TCU, Nebraska, and Colorado State. Oregon’s best win so far was a thrilling 38-30 comeback in Lubbock to take down the Red Raiders, while Colorado’s best win was a road upset over last year’s CFP runner-up, the #17 TCU Horned Frogs, that put Boulder back on the college football map. You can catch the game at 12:30 on ABC, and on KWVA, 88.1 FM, where Ryan Milano and Knight Jarecki will be on the call.

Oregon

The Ducks started the year off ranked as the #15 team in the country, but have risen up to the #10 spot following their wins in the first three games of the season.…
