Five Things Ducks Fans Should Know

1. Oregon’s College Football Playoff Chances

The Oregon-UCLA showdown carries major College Football Playoff stakes for both teams. ESPN’s Playoff Predictor has Oregon with a 38 percent chance of making the CFP. UCLA has a 12 percent chance.

The one-loss Ducks are currently "on the wrong side of the bubble" per ESPN's prediction. However the Ducks have two more ranked opponents in No. 21 UCLA and No. 5 Ohio State, so there is plenty of football to be played.

2. Dante Moore Is Back At Practice

Oregon quarterback Dante Moore suffered a concussion as the Ducks beat USC on the road. After a scary hit, he was rushed to the hopsital in an ambulance. Oregon is coming off its bye week and Moore participated in practice on Monday. Specifically, Moore was wearing a helmet, in shoulder pads and throwing the football, per Ducks coach Dan Lanning.

His availability will be closely monitored as the Ducks release an official injury report on Wednesday. It is expected that backup quarterback Dylan Raiola will lead the team is Moore has not cleared concussion protocol.

UCLA is preparing for both quarterbacks.

"The other guy's not bad, right?" Chesney said about Raiola. "There's not a giant drop off between the two of those guys."

3. Third Down

Oregon leads the nation in third-down defense, allowing opponents to convert just 21.2 percent of their attempts (11-of-52). In the Ducks’ last two games, opponents went only 2-of-20 ... a 10 percent conversion rate.

4. Oregon's New Uniforms

Oregon’s “Origin of Speed” uniforms are packed with unique details. Ducks receiver Jeremiah McClellan suggested the new “Green Strike” shade, inspired by the seats at Hayward Field. The perforated numbers nod to Bill Bowerman’s waffle iron shoe designs, and brown cushioning inside the cleats mimics Hayward’s original clay and cinder track.

Also, the uniform’s “O” includes six lanes, with lanes four and five distinguished to honor Spencer Webb and Khyree Jackson (their jersey numbers.)

QUOTABLE: Lanning pinpoints one thing UCLA is doing really well:

"They've been playing really good ball in the fourth quarter, really good ball in the second half, and really, frankly, pulling away from people when they get in those moments in games where they keep their foot on the gas. So, it's a real challenge for us. They do some really good things, and we're excited for that challenge.”
