Oregon’s football team returned to Autzen Stadium from a disappointing trip to Georgia last week to play what was expected to be a clearly outmatched foe in Eastern Washington. The Ducks followed through on that expectation, scoring 9 offensive touchdowns and 1 defensive touchdown and playing stingy defense to beat the Eagles 70 - 14.
Oregon starting Quarterback Bo Nix completed 28 of 33 passing attempts for 277 yards and 5 touchdowns, with no interceptions. Nix’s 5 scores were a career high. Mar’Keise Irving led Oregon rushers with 8 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown. Troy Franklin caught 10 passes for 84 yards to lead the receiving core.
