CORVALLIS — The $11.6 million question after Oregon's 34-24 loss Saturday to Oregon State in the 120th Civil War was whether Mark Helfrich will still be the coach when his previously scheduled press conference, set for early Sunday, begins.
With UO super-booster Phil Knight, a key decision-maker in whatever course Oregon chooses, watching Ohio State's win against Michigan, Ducks players and coaches talked around the question on everybody's mind following a 34-24 loss to Oregon State that snapped UO's eight-game winning streak in the series.
UO coaches are set to leave Eugene for recruiting Sunday morning.
