A pair of Top 25, Pac-12 North teams collide in Eugene, Oregon, when Jake Browning, Myles Gaskin and the No. 7 ranked Washington Huskies (5-1) take on Justin Herbert and the No. 17 Oregon Ducks (4-1) in the Emerald City Showdown on Saturday afternoon.
The game is scheduled to start at 3:30 p.m. ET and will be broadcast nationally on either ABC or ESPN2, depending on where you live (coverage map). If you don’t have cable or can’t get to a TV, you can still watch a live stream of the game (or DVR it) on your computer, phone or streaming device by signing up for one of the following cable-free, live-TV streaming services:
In addition to a Netflix-like on-demand streaming library, Hulu also offers a bundle of 50-plus live TV channels, including both ABC (live in select markets, but even if it isn’t included in your market, you’ll be able to watch the game on the ESPN digital platforms with your Hulu credentials) and ESPN2.
You can sign up for “Hulu with Live TV” right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Hulu website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the Hulu app. If the game is on ABC where you live but ABC isn’t live in your market, scroll down to the “ESPN Platforms” section to see where you can watch.
If you can’t watch live, “Hulu with Live TV” also comes with 50 hours of Cloud DVR storage (with the ability to upgrade to “Enhanced Cloud DVR,” which gives you 200 hours of DVR space and the ability to fast forward through commercials).
If the game is on ESPN2 where you live, ESPN2 is included in the “Sling Orange” channel package. You can sign up for a free 7-day trial right here, and you can then watch a live stream of the game on your computer via the Sling TV website, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the Sling TV app.
If you can’t watch live, you can get 50 hours of cloud DVR storage as an additional add-on.
If it’s on ABC, the “Sling Orange” channel package doesn’t include ABC but does include ESPN3, meaning you’ll be able to watch a live stream of the game on the ESPN digital platforms (see next section).
ESPN Platforms
You can watch a live stream of the game on your computer via ESPN.com, or on your phone, tablet or streaming device via the ESPN app. Games on ABC (labeled as ESPN3) can be watched for free without cable if you have a participating internet service provider (ISP), while games on ESPN2 require you to sign in to a cable provider. Either way, you can still use your Hulu or Sling TV credentials to sign in and watch the game on the ESPN digital platforms.
Preview
Herbert highlights the players in this game. A future first-round draft pick, Herbert has completed 64.7% of his passes this season for 1,411 yards, 15 touchdowns and five interceptions.
Two years ago, Browning totaled eight touchdowns in the 49-point win, which ended – at the time – the Huskies’ 12-game losing streak to the Ducks. Browning this season has compiled 1,508 passing yards, nine touchdowns and five interceptions in comparison to his counterpart.
Oregon-Washington is one the more underrated rivalries in college football. Ducks head coach Mario Cristobal and Huskies head coach Chris Petersen are aware of the type of history a game like this commands. In Cristobal’s case, it is trickling down to his players.
“Our players have seen and understand the history of the series… they understand how passionate both fan bases are about this — it’s critically important for both programs involved. We don’t ever try to mask or hide or downplay the factors that go into rivalry games. It’s always going to be like that with the way we prepare and motivate our players.”
It is the 111th meeting between the two programs. The Huskies lead the all-time series 60-45-5, and have won the past two games by a combined score of 108-24 (70-21 in 2016, 38-3 in 2017).
