The 1980 Oregon Ducks football team represented the University of Oregon in the 1980 NCAA Division I-A football season. Playing as a member of the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10), the team was led by head coach Rich Brooks, in his fourth year, and played their home games at Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon. They finished the season with a record of six wins, three losses and two ties (6–3–2 overall, 4–3–1 in the Pac-10).
In their rivalry game with Washington, the Ducks won in Seattle for the first time in 12 years; the win also broke a six-game losing streak to the Huskies. Oregon defeated all three northwest teams in the Pac-10, their first sweep in 26 years.
After the season in December, Brooks' contract was extended through the 1984 season with a salary increase, from under $37,000 to over $46,000.[2][3]
