Iowa vs. Oregon Game Time Announcement Put on Hold
Heading into the bye week, the Iowa Hawkeyes look better at their current juncture than they have all season, especially considering their worrying 3-2 start and the flurry of negative media attention that came their way after that second loss.
At 6-2 (4-1 in the B1G), the black and gold have dwindled the (previously much larger) tie for fourth place in the conference down to just themselves and the Michigan Wolverines. Of the two teams, Iowa appears to face a more favorable immediate outlook in the way of opportunities to break that tie and, in time, move into pedestal position in the conference.
Much of the Hawkeyes’ eventual fate hinges on their incoming, post-bye matchup with the sixth-ranked Oregon Ducks. Much like their previous ranked duel this season against the now-second-ranked Indiana Hoosiers, the battle against the Ducks will be held in Iowa City in front of one of the nation’s most persistently loud, present fanbases.
Chalk it up to good luck, smart scheduling or both; whichever way you spin it, Iowa’s current favorable outlook is only amplified by the extended stretch of home games in which they currently operate.
To boot, Oregon’s trip in to town is shaping up to be as influential on the wider B1G slate, if not more so, than the team’s aforementioned loss to Indiana. Unfortunately for excited fans, though, no official time or televised designation has yet been set.
While the game was anticipated by many to take Big Noon Kickoff priority, the conference announced at the beginning of this week that their final decision regarding kickoff time and television partner will be put on a six-day hold.
It may seem like a small issue, but for an Iowa team that has spent much of this season vying for national relevancy — somehow, an AP ranking still eludes them — the bigger the stage for a potential upset win, the better.
Especially on the heels of their retrospectively season-defining home victory over the Minnesota Golden Gophers in a 41-3 rout, the Hawkeyes argument for league-wide attention hasn’t been so convincing since their B1G championship appearance back in 2023.
That game was a loss, and this one could be, too; but either way, it’d be beneficial for this Iowa team to sit under the heat of the national spotlight if they truly wish to live up to their “College Football Playoff dark horse” title.

The Oregon Ducks are 7-1, going 4-1 in the Big Ten conference, following a win against the Wisconsin Badgers. The Ducks are heading into a bye week, and will have four games remaining when they return.
With the Ducks’ remaining schedule, Oregon will have to keep up the momentum after the bye to ensure a College Football Playoff appearance.
Iowa Hawkeyes (6-2)
After the bye, the Ducks will travel to Kinnick Stadium to face the Iowa Hawkeyes. Iowa holds a 6-2 record, currently on a three-game win streak. One of the Hawkeyes’ losses was against the No. 2 Indiana Hoosiers, and Iowa kept it close.
Last time Oregon had a bye, they suffered their first loss of the season, and how the Ducks perform after rest will be something to watch for once again. The Hawkeyes will also be coming off a bye week, giving both teams an equal amount of rest before the matchup.
Minnesota Golden Gophers (5-3)
On Nov. 14, the Ducks will face the Minnesota Golden Gophers. While this may be the easiest remaining opponent on paper, Minnesota has a 5-3 record and has had some big wins this season. The Golden Gophers were able to take down the Nebraska Cornhuskers and should not be counted out.
The positive side for the Ducks is that the matchup will be at Autzen Stadium, giving Oregon the help from their home crowd. Oregon’s defense has a chance to make another statement, but the offense will have to get back to the explosiveness they have shown in the past.

USC Trojans (5-2)
The No. 23 USC Trojans have had an up-and-down season, but still hold a 5-2 record heading into week 10 of the college football season. The Trojans have had some big wins, but USC’s defense has struggled to stop the run, which is something the Ducks can take advantage of.
USC has a talented group of offensive weapons, and Oregon’s defense will face a tough test. The Ducks’ defense will have to show up defending both the pass and the run, as USC may be the toughest offensive opponent remaining on Oregon’s schedule. The matchup will be Oregon’s final home game of the season, creating a tough atmosphere for the Trojans.
Washington Huskies (6-2)
The Washington Huskies have been one of the most underrated teams in college football. While they have two losses, the Huskies have also pulled off some big wins, such as defeating then-No. 23 Illinois, 42-25.
Although Oregon may be the favorite entering the game, the matchup will take place in Washington to close out the regular season. With the Huskies’ success, Oregon will have to play hard, as it could end up determining the program’s fate for a CFP appearance.
While the weather did impact the matchup against Wisconsin, Oregon quarterback Dante Moore did exit the game with an injury. The good news for Ducks’ fans is that Oregon coach Dan Lanning provided a positive update on Moore’s status after the game.
“I think we could have pushed to get him back in, but he’s good, he got a bloody nose. He got hit pretty good, and he looks like he’s in great shape now,” Lanning said.
Moore will get some extra rest through the bye, and the Ducks’ quarterback should be good to go to finish out the season. Moore will have a big test ahead with Oregon’s schedule, but he will also have the chance to prove he can lead the program to success against challenging opponents.
The Oregon State Men’s Soccer team dodged the Corvallis rain by traveling north to Seattle and beating the Redhawks 5-3, in a game that saw 5 different Beavers score goals. The win improves the Beavers record to 8-3-2 overall, and 4-0-2 in conference play.
If you tuned in late to the game you probably missed the Beavers first goal of the night, as Andrew De Gannes set up Nico Nee for an early score just 1:21 into the match. Seattle responded with some early pressure, forcing a leaping save from John Nicholson, but Oregon State managed to preserve their lead.
Oregon State Men’s Soccer: Beavers Dominate Saint Mary’s in 3-0 Win
Oregon State responded with a quick flurry of attacks. Andrew De Gannes, Arnau Farnos and Nico Nee got a trio of shots off starting around the 17th minute, but only Farnos’s forced a save. The first half continued at that pace, Seattle could generate some offense but couldn’t never find a way past Nicholson and the OSU defense, and despite pressure from Farnos and the Beavers top scorers Oregon State couldn’t extend their lead.
Only a few minutes into the second half the Beavers found that goal, with Andrew De Gannes firing a rocket past Seattle goalkeeper Aleksander Kapciak in the 47th minute. Just a minute later Arnau Farnos extended the lead, with some help from a long goal kick from John Nicholson. Just a few minutes into the second half the Beavers were up 3-0.

After a concerted attack around the 58 minute mark, Seattle finally found their first goal of the night in the 63rd minute, with Andre Philibbosian capitalizing on a Nico Wiskel corner kick to get the ball past John Nicholson.
It took a bit, but in the 74th minute Fran Cortijo gave the Beavers their three goal lead back, slipping the ball past a pack of Seattle defenders and into the top left of the goal. Seattle wasn’t done, however, responding in the 81st goal with a goal from Alex Notzka.

The Beavers answered right back with a Diego Rodriguez goal in the 82nd minute. The Redhawks got a last minute goal from Patrick Kearny in the 90th minute, but it didn’t change the final result, with Oregon State taking the 5-3 win.
The win gives the Beavers the lead at the top of the WCC standings. With Portland losing their first game today, the Beavers hold a 1 point lead over San Diego and 3 point lead over the PIlots in the standings. Oregon State’s next test will be next Sunday, November 2, when Santa Clara comes to Corvallis.
A high surf advisory was released by the National Weather Service on Friday at 1:50 a.m. valid from Saturday 11 a.m. until Sunday 5 a.m. for Clatsop County Coast, Tillamook County Coast and Central Coast of Oregon.
“Large waves and hazardous surf conditions. Breakers up to 30 feet,” can be anticipated according to the weather service. “Caution should be used when in or near the water. Always keep an eye on the waves, and be especially watchful of children and pets. Those participating in razor clam digs should exercise caution.”
“Destructive waves may wash over beaches, jetties, and other structures unexpectedly. People can be swept off rocks and jetties and drown while observing high surf. Minor beach erosion may damage coastal properties and buildings. Higher than normal water run-up is expected on beaches and low-lying shoreline,” describes the weather service. “A High Surf Advisory means that high surf will affect beaches, producing rip currents, sneaker waves and beach erosion. Stay well back from the water’s edge and be alert for exceptionally high waves. Keep away from large logs on the beach. Water running up on the beach can easily lift or roll logs which can injure or kill someone caught in their path. Remain out of the water to avoid hazardous swimming conditions.”
