Oregon football found itself 4-3 on the season heading into Week 9 against the 6-1 Northwestern Wildcats, with Dan Lanning making a decision on Dylan Raiola before the game. Ducks fans have mourned the loss of starting QB Dante Moore while preparing for life without him, including their Halloween game that brought out the best in terms of costumes and the offenses on both teams.
Oregon's mascot, ‘The Duck,' also known as ‘The Oregon Duck,' or ‘Puddles,' “won” Halloween with its costume, which was witnessed as the mascot rode a bike out of the tunnel at Autzen Stadium.
‘The Duck' donned a red hoodie, channeling its inner ‘ET the Extra-Terrestrial,” as it shocked onlookers during an exciting game-time atmosphere.
The Ducks trailed 20-13 early in the third quarter as former Oregon offensive coordinator Chip Kelly led his Wildcats into enemy territory.
