Noisy Autzen Stadium gives Ducks a big advantage.Associated Press (File Associated Press / The Spokesman-Review)

Oregon has produced a 58-17 record (.773) in Autzen Stadium in the 13 seasons under the direction of Mike Bellotti. … Believe it or not, the Ducks are just 29-29-3 in their homecoming history, including 6-7-2 against Washington State, Oregon’s most common homecoming opponent. The first recorded homecoming game for the Ducks was a 3-0 loss to WSU in 1936. … There haven’t been many opportunities to use the Cougars as homecoming fodder recently. Six of the last seven games between the two have been in Pullman. … The Ducks are Washington State’s third top-10 opponent this season, joining Wisconsin and USC. … Dennis Dixon has had a rushing touchdown and a passing touchdown in each of UO’s games this season. … Alex Brink has 69 net yards rushing, putting him on pace to have the best rushing season of his WSU career. … Oregon wide receiver Cameron Colvin has moved into the starting lineup after a season-ending injury to Brian Paysinger. In the two games as a starter, Colvin has a touchdown in each.
