A lot of moving parts for the Oregon Ducks and their non-conference schedules down the road to wrap up the 2020s and begin the 2030s.

The Utah State Aggies of the new look Pac-12 Conference will travel to Autzen Stadium to take on the Ducks on Sept. 8, 2029, per Oregon football's X post. The matchup was originally scheduled for Sept. 15, 2029.

In his first season as the leader of Utah State, coach Bronco Mendenhall finished with a 6-7 overall record and lost to the Washington State Cougars in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Boise, Idaho, 34-21. Mendenhall coached the BYU Cougars from 2005 to 2015, the Virginia Cavaliers from 2016 to 2021, and the New Mexico Lobos in 2024.

This isn't the only non-conference scheduling change that has occurred for Oregon's future seasons.

Coastal Carolina vs. Oregon

The Ducks and the Baylor Bears of the Big 12 Conference have mutually agreed to cancel their home-and-home series for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, according to Oregon football's X post. The first matchup will be replaced with the Coastal Carolina Chanticleers of the Sun Belt Conference on Sept. 11, 2027.

Coastal Carolina hired Missouri State Bears coach Ryan Beard from the FCS level in December of 2025 to take over the reins.

This switch from Baylor to Coastal Carolina was made to ensure that Oregon continues to have its traditional seven-game home schedule intake for the 2027 season.

Ducks Enter New Season With Nation-Leading Streak

Since 2022, Oregon coach Dan Lanning has an overall record of 48-8, including the 2023 Fiesta Bowl, 2024 Big Ten Championship, and 2025 Orange Bowl victories.

Winning on the road in hostile environments is something that the Ducks have been able to accomplish on a consistent basis ever since Lanning took over the reins of the Pacific Northwest powerhouse. He holds an 18-2 record in those unpredictable situations since 2022. The last time he has lost a true away game was on October 14, 2023, at the Washington Huskies in Husky Stadium, 36-33.

In fact, Oregon is in control of the longest active road winning streak in college football at 12 straight. That's amongst the Power Four conferences with the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and the SEC. No one is even close to the Ducks.

• Ohio State Buckeyes - 7
• Indiana Hoosiers - 6
• Houston Cougars - 6
• Alabama Crimson Tide - 5
• Oklahoma Sooners - 4
• Clemson Tigers - 4
• Virginia Cavaliers - 4
• Pittsburgh Panthers - 4
