With the hype surrounding tonight’s Pac-12 North showdown, as the No. 3 Ducks face off against No. 5 Stanford in Northern California, ESPN’s College Football Live set up a broadcast this morning in White Plaza on Stanford’s campus.
The broadcast was similar to ESPN’s College GameDay, which airs every Saturday morning. Kirk Herbstreit, Scott Van Pelt, Mark May and Brian Griese hosted the morning show.
The crowd was not as packed compared to most Saturday morning broadcasts, with many students on bike and foot finding their way to class. Both Stanford and Oregon fans stood behind the barriers on the stage with signs and chants.
The broadcast will continue tonight in Stanford Stadium. Kick-off for tonight’s game is set for 6 p.m.

Ask Stanford student why there is no one at GameDay? His response: "Because we actually go to class." pic.twitter.com/N6jXRjhYgC

ESPN confiscates Stanford student's signs that read: "I got the hots for Holtz" and "Mark may watches soft-core porn."
