LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Riding an almost comically small Razor scooter with purple handlebars, Scott Pagano wheeled into postgame interviews Saturday night bearing warning.

"Coming in hot!" the defensive lineman called.

On a cold, clear night in unfamiliar territory, the same could be said for Oregon's entire defense.

Coordinator Jim Leavitt's unit ended Oregon's 3-0 nonconference slate with a bravura performance, limiting potential 2018 NFL draft first-round pick Josh Allen to 64 yards passing amid a 49-13 win in War Memorial Stadium.

The Ducks showed Saturday they can shut down one of the most hyped players in the country.
