In their first game of the 2015 season, the Ducks defeated the Eastern Washington Eagles 61–42 in the teams' first ever matchup in football. In an interesting twist to an otherwise typical early season matchup against a local FCS power, Eastern Washington's former star quarterback Vernon Adams graduated in the summer of 2015 and transferred to the University of Oregon in order to pursue his graduate studies and utilize his final year of eligibility as the Ducks' starting quarterback.

The game was a rematch from the previous season when the Ducks beat the Spartans at Autzen Stadium in Eugene. The loss returned the all-time record between Oregon and Michigan State to a tie at 3–3. This game foreshadowed the finger injury that would keep Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. sidelined or completely ineffective for a month. Adams injured the index finger on his throwing hand during the fourth quarter of the previous week's game against Eastern Washington. For the game against Michigan State, Adams wore gloves on both hands and was seen inspecting his hand while on the sideline. It was conjectured during the game by the announcers that the lack of touch caused by both his broken finger and the glove were to blame for several inaccurate medium to long distance passes thrown by Adams, including missing a wide open Byron Marshall in the end-zone from the Michigan State 33-yard line with 1:24 left in the game that would've put the Ducks up 35–31.https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=400757018 Oregon vs. Michigan State - Play-By-Play - September 12, 2015 - ESPN ESPN.com November 6, 2017 Georgia State 2015 Georgia State Panthers football team Oregon Ducks ;text-align:center; autocollapse Georgia State Panthers at Oregon Ducks – Game summary Saturday September 19, 2015 11 a.m. Georgia State 7 0 21 0 #12 Oregon 13 20 14 14 Autzen Stadium • Eugene, OR Pac-12 Network https://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=400757030 Georgia State vs. Oregon - Game Summary - September 19, 2015 - ESPN ESPN.com November 6, 2017 First quarter ORE – Tyree Robinson 41-yard interception return (Aiden Schneider Kick) ORE – Schneider 26-yard field goal ORE – Schneider 40-yard field goal GSU – Nick Arbuckle 1-yard run (Wil Lutz Kick) Second quarter ORE – Royce Freeman 22-yard run (Schneider Kick) ORE – Dwayne Stanford 35-yard pass from Jeff Lockie (Schneider Kick) ORE – Schneider 40-yard field goal ORE – Schneider 40-yard field goal Third quarter GSU – Todd Boyd 14-yard pass from Arbuckle (Lutz Kick) ORE – Taj Griffin 3-yard run (Schneider Kick) GSU – Robert Davis 75-yard pass from Arbuckle (Lutz Kick) ORE – Johnny Mundt 11-yard pass from Lockie (Schneider Kick) GSU – Keith Rucker 6-yard pass from Arbuckle (Lutz Kick) Fourth quarter ORE – Joe Walker 52-yard fumble return (Schneider Kick) ORE – Taylor Alie 87-yard run (Schneider Kick) Passing GSU – Nick Arbuckle, 25/32, 318 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT UO – Jeff Lockie, 23/32, 228 yards, 2 TD Rushing GSU – Demarcus Kick, 6 carries, 42 yards UO – Royce Freeman, 10 carries, 101 yards, TD Receiving GSU – Penny Hart, 9 receptions, 128 yards UO – Dwayne Stanford, 3 receptions, 48 yards, TD Defense GSU – Tarris Batiste, 10 tackles, 3 TFL UO – DeForest Buckner, 7 tackles, 1.5 sacks, 2 TFL Kicking GSU – Wil Lutz, 0/1 FG, 4/4 XP UO – Aiden Schneider, 4/4 FG, 40-yard long, 7/7 XP special teams GSU – Glenn Smith, 2 KR, 45 yards UO – Charles Nelson, 1 KR, 50 yards Oregon defeated the Georgia State Panthers 61–28 in its final non-conference home game of the 2015 season.

In 2014, Oregon defeated Utah 51–27 at Rice Eccles Stadium in Salt Lake City, UT. Oregon maintained their lead in the all-time series with 20–9; this was the first time that Utah defeated Oregon since joining the Pac-12. The 42 point loss was the third largest margin of defeat for the Ducks at Autzen Stadium, with the 62 points the most ever allowed by the Ducks in Eugene and the first loss of this magnitude at home since the 1977 season. During the game, Oregon star wide receiver/running back Byron Marshall suffered a lower leg injury and was driven off the field in a cart. Additionally, during the second quarter the Ducks replaced starting quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. with Jeff Lockie due to Adams' ineffective play caused by a broken index finger on his throwing hand. Because of the broken finger, Adams was unable to complete accurate downfield passes which allowed the Utes to totally focus on defending the run and short passes, effectively neutralizing the Oregon offense. While Lockie was able to generate a spark on his first series, he was unable to generate significant plays.https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap?gameId=400757039 Utah vs. Oregon - Game Recap - September 26, 2015 - ESPN ESPN.com November 6, 2017 Colorado 2015 Colorado Buffaloes football team Oregon Ducks ;text-align:center; autocollapse Oregon Ducks at Colorado Buffaloes – Game summary Saturday October 3, 2015 8:35 pm Oregon 7 10 14 10 Colorado 7 10 0 7 Folsom Field • Boulder, CO Cloudy ESPN https://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=400757043 Oregon vs. Colorado - Game Summary - October 3, 2015 - ESPN ESPN.com November 6, 2017 First quarter ORE – Royce Freeman 29-yard run (Aidan Schneider Kick) COL – Christian Powell 2-yard run (Diego Gonzalez Kick) Second quarter COL – Shay fields 8-yard pass from Sefo Liufau (Gonzalez Kick) ORE – Charles Nelson 39-yard pass from Bralon Addison (Schneider Kick) COL – Gonzalez 52-yard field goal ORE – Schneider 39-yard field goal Third quarter ORE – Freeman 3-yard run (Schneider Kick) ORE – Taj Griffin 2-yard run (Schneider Kick) Fourth quarter COL – Sefo Liufau 7-yard run (Gonzalez Kick) ORE – Jalen Brown 43-yard pass from Taylor Alie (Schneider Kick) ORE – Schneider 33-yard field goal Passing UO – Taylor Alie, 4/9, 83 yards, TD UC – Sefo Liufau, 25/42, 231 yards, TD, INT Rushing UO – Royce Freeman, 27 carries, 163 yards, 2 TD UC – Phillip Lindsay, 12 carries, 37 yards Receiving UO – Charles Nelson, 2 receptions, 44 yards, YD UC – Nelson Spruce, 6 receptions, 87 yards Defense UO – Rodney Hardrick, 8 tackles, 1 sack, 2 TFL UC – Chidobe Awuzie, 11 tackles Kicking UO – Aidan Schneieder, 2/2 FG, 39-yard long, 5/5 XP UC – Diego Gonzalez, 1/1 FG, 52-yard long, 3/3 XP special teams UO – Charles Nelson, 4 KR, 144 yards UC – Donovan Lee, 1 KR, 24 yards In their first game playing as an unranked team since the 2009 season, the Ducks defeated the Colorado Buffaloes 41–24 at Folsom Field in Boulder. The win extended Oregon's lead in the all-time series to 12–8; they remained undefeated against the Buffaloes in Pac-12 play. Vernon Adams Jr. remained on the sidelines due to a broken index finger and the fact that he has sickle cell trait; Folsom Field is 5,360 ft m above sea level. In his place, the Ducks ran a rotation at the quarterback position, playing both long-time backup Jeff Lockie and Taylor Alie, a walk-on who won a 6A Oregon State Championship with Sheldon High School in Eugene.
