EUGENE, Ore. – Whenever facing Oregon football, one of the big storylines is always, what will the Ducks wear?
With No. 25 Oregon facing No. 12 BYU, folks locally were interested in what the Ducks would sport this week.
Even BYU football players like Malik Moore were wondering what the Ducks would trot out on Saturday afternoon at Autzen Stadium.
“Whenever I think of Oregon I think of the cool uniforms. I’m trying to see what kind of uniforms they wear against us to be honest,” said Moore.
