A week after a sloppy 58-24 win in their season opener versus Bowling Green, the Oregon Ducks put together a far cleaner overall performance – albeit against a far inferior opponent – in Saturday’s 62-14 victory over Portland State. Offensively, it was a balanced attack for the Ducks, as Oregon piled up 562 yards of […]
Truth be told, aside from a plague of locusts or a team-wide case of bubble guts, there’s not a whole heck of a lot that stands in the way of Oregon moving to 2-0 following Saturday’s late morning/early afternoon tilt versus FCS opponent Portland State.
