The Ducks currently sit as a top-10 team, fresh off a loss to Washington. They will play Washington State this week before visiting Utah.
The Utes will be on the road at USC before worrying about Bo Nix and Oregon. The last time the two teams played, Utah lost 20-17 in a late November game at Autzen.
Elsewhere in the state, BYU’s second trip to Texas will have an early start time. It will be a 2:30 p.m. CT kick (1:30 p.m. MT) in Austin against the Longhorns.
Texas and BYU have not met since 2014, when the Cougars won on the road 41-7. That year, Taysom Hill accounted for 280 yards and ran for three touchdowns.

Utah State will be off that weekend. It returns to play in November with a game against San Diego State.

The 2024 Oregon Ducks season has been one of the most successful in program history. For the first time ever, Oregon finished out the regular season with a 13-0 record and a Big Ten Conference title in their first season with the league. With all this success during Oregon coach Dan Lanning’s third year with the program, it makes sense the young coach gets a big pay day.
In total, by reaching the Rose Bowl quarterfinal for the College Football Playoffs, Lanning is expected to make an extra $850,000 on top of his $7 million base salary for the 2024 season.
Included in the $850,000 bonus is $150,000 for clinching the Big Ten Conference title and $200,000 for reaching the Rose Bowl. Lanning would have earned $150,000 for a first round playoff game slot. The rest of the $850,000 is made up of bonuses like Oregon’s 12-0 regular season (the second time that record has happened in program history since 2014).

If Lanning and the Ducks are able to beat the Ohio State Buckeyes in the new year at the Rose Bowl, Lanning’s bonus will increase by $250,000. For a National Championship appearance, Lanning gets another $500,000. Finally, if the Ducks win it all, Lanning will get $500,000 more for his contract this year, and every other year of his contract with the Ducks.
Lanning earned a contract extension of one year, extending his tenure at Oregon through January of 2031, after beating the Maryland Terrapins in November 39-18.
With all this success, many Duck fans may wonder if Lanning will continue to stay in his current contract. On The Zach Gelb Show before the Rose Bowl, Lanning emphasized there’s no need to doubt his allegiance to Oregon when compared to a job in the NFL.

“You know it used to be a goal of mine. It certainly did. But I think at this point, everybody can realize I’m not going anywhere,” Lanning said when asked by Zach Gelb about coaching in the NFL. “I love what we have here, I’ve got three young boys that love Eugene, we have a lot of unfinished business that we hope to handle, and I’m enjoying the ride. So this will be the place that I’m coaching for a long, long time, as long as I continue to do my job.”
Lanning’s legacy in Eugene is already a great one for Duck history. He coached the Ducks to a 10-3 record for his first season in 2022 before building a 12-2 record in 2023. Lanning is the third head coach at Oregon to reach at least 22 wins in his first two seasons. His 31 wins are tied with Chip Kelly for the most by an Oregon head coach through his first 36 games.
Lanning is the fifth-highest paid coach in the Big Ten, tied with Iowa’s Kirk Ferentz, and is the 18th-highest paid coach on the FBS level. Big Ten coaches rounding out the highest paid list include Wisconsin’s Luke Fickell, Ohio State’s Ryan Day, and USC’s Lincoln Riley.
The Oregon Ducks face off against the Ohio State Buckeyes in the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day with a 2 p.m. PT kickoff.
