The 2013 Oregon football season is sure to be filled with intrigue and surprise. Chip Kelly has left Eugene and is now the head man in Philadelphia, leaving full control of one of the nation’s top football programs in the hands of Mark Helfrich.

With Helfrich now in control, numerous questions have arisen in regards to his tenure as head coach. Will he throw more than Kelly did, will the day-to-day operation of the team be any different from it has in years past?

These are just two of the many uncertainties that are crossing Duck fans’ minds entering the spring game. However, one thing that will not change under coach Helfrich is the theme of the annual spring exhibition from Oregon.

For the fourth year in a row, the spring game will act as a platform to honor the men and women who serve in the United States military. The teams will wear special uniforms, designed specifically for the game that will, per usual, have a military theme to them.

Implemented under Chip Kelly during his time in Oregon, the military-themed spring game has been tremendously well received by the community, and apparently Helfrich has decided to make it a staple of his tenure as well.

As in the past, admission to the game is three nonperishable food items. The game kicks off at 11 a.m. Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
