The University of Georgia has added the University of Oregon to its football schedule for 2015 and 2016 according to an announcement by UGA Director of Athletics Damon Evans.
Georgia will travel to Eugene in 2015 while the Ducks will return to Athens in the 2016 season. Specific dates for the games have not been set. Georgia and Oregon have played only once - a 27-16 Bulldog win in Athens in 1977.
"This will bring another great intersectional series to our future schedules," said Evans. "Oregon has had some great teams and has a national reputation for outstanding football."
Getting a big name to come to Oregon has been a problem in the past because schools have viewed Oregon as a team thats dangerous to lose to and would hurt their own image in the college football world.
Recently however the view towards Oregon football has improved over the last 5 or so years that now allows a loss to the Ducks as a good loss and one that won't hurt a team's strength of schedule.
