The Oregon football team plays a spring scrimmage on Saturday, May 3, 2014 at Autzen Stadium at 11 am. The annual spring game is more than just a intrasquad scrimmage. Though the game on the field is a nice tease for Oregon fans looking to get some taste of football action before the fall, it’s used as an opportunity for the team to give back. With “Salute the Day” as the team’s credo for the game, look for the team to show support to the military in some fashion. The game also serves as a food drive for FOOD for Lane County.
