The game kicks off at noon ET, so the glowiness will probably not be all that evident, but it’s useful as a safety precaution in case the game goes into 15 overtimes and the stadium lights stop working.

Noon is technically closer to darkness, at least!
There were also those times Oregon teased glow-in-the-dark uniforms, though the Ducks have yet to make it happen.
