EUGENE, Ore. — Perseverance and fortitude were rewarded Saturday night.
Rewarded for the Oregon football team overall, as the Ducks bounced back from defeat in impressive fashion. And rewarded for several players who contributed touchdowns in the 77-6 victory over Nevada at Autzen Stadium.
Justin Herbert threw for 310 yards and five touchdowns Saturday, overcoming a slow start and helping the Ducks rebound from their last-minute loss to Auburn in the season opener. Oregon's 11 touchdowns against the Wolf Pack were scored by 11 different players, including several who were rewarded for impressive displays of team-first attitudes.
