The Ducks won in a cardiac manner against the Mack Brown-coached North Carolina. This all-white combo is most similar to their game vs. WSU and the outcome was very similar! Dan Lanning has won 10 games in his first season as a head coach.
2022 marked the fourth time the Ducks have played in the Holiday Bowl, and their record is now 3-1. Their first time in San Diego in 2000, coincidently, was against a Mack Brown-coached Texas team. A look back at past Holidays:
2000 Oregon 35, Texas 30
Much like 2022, UO lost the Civil War, a chance at Rose Bowl, and limped into the Holiday. But their bowl victory then was their first 10-win season in history!
2005 Oregon 14, Oklahoma 17
Coming in with only one loss, the Ducks lost to a much lower ranked OU team.
2008 Oregon 42, Oklahoma State 31
Mike Bellotti's last game in a 10-3 season. Their combo of dark green and black calls back to their 2000 uniform, also a victory.
