Ducks mascot trips, loses head in costume mishap
"EUGENE. Ore. -- The Oregon Duck lost his head in the run up to the team's opener against Montana State on Saturday. No, it wasn't out of excitement for the game. The mascot was running out on the field at Autzen Stadium when he tripped and the head of his costume flew off. The headless Duck sprinted back into the tunnel while a helper grabbed the head and ran after him."
"Moments later the Duck returned to the field, fully restored. It is not the first time the Duck has had a wardrobe malfunction. He also lost his head when he tripped on the road last season against Purdue."
The Oregon Duck mascot lost the head of his costume while running onto the field at Autzen Stadium before the opener against Montana State. The mascot tripped, causing the headpiece to fly off, and the headless Duck sprinted back into the tunnel. A helper retrieved the head and ran after the mascot, and moments later the Duck returned to the field with the costume head restored. The fall drew attention because the mascot continued moving without the head before being reunited with the headpiece in view of spectators. The incident occurred in Eugene, Ore., and mirrored a similar wardrobe malfunction on the road against Purdue last season.
