EUGENE — Oregon is an underdog for the first time in 2020.

The Ducks (3-2) opened as 1-point underdogs against No. 15 USC (5-0) in the
Pac-12 Championship game Friday at the Los Angeles Coliseum (5 p.m., FOX),
according to VegasInsider.com. The line quickly moved to Trojans minus-3 and the over/under is 62.

USC leads the all-time series 38-21-2. However, Oregon has won five of the last seven meetings and three of the last four in L.A., including last year’s 56-24 rout.

 

Oregon’s Mario Cristobal addresses rumored candidacy at Auburn

“We seem to get a lot of rumors at this time of year,” Cristobal said. “This is what I can say: I can say that I haven’t been contacted, OK? I don’t know of my agent being contacted, and I talk to him every single day. I trust Phil Knight. I trust Rob Mullens. I trust our administration, and I trust people here at Oregon.

“As you guys know, we have been working on something when the pandemic first hit, and things kind of stalled and things have picked back up. I’ve always been transparent with every single one of you, and I will continue to do that. Hopefully in the next couple of days there’s more stuff to talk about as it relates to that. That in itself right there, hopefully, explained to you exactly where things are with me.”

Cristobal, who is under contract at Oregon through January 2024, and UO began working on a contract extension following last year’s Pac-12 championship and Rose Bowl championship, and those talks have resumed recently.

He was due $2.7 million in salary this season, with raises of $100,000 in each of the next three years, and took a voluntary 10% pay cut and forwent all his bonuses this year due to the pandemic

I'm guessing Cristobal's new contract at Oregon will be about, $5 million
