EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon's home opener was overflowing with meaning Saturday night.
The Ducks bounced back from a dispiriting first game by beating Eastern Washington, 70-14. They earned Dan Lanning his first victory as head coach of the program. They scored 10 touchdowns, including one on defense and one that had tears in the eyes of fans in Autzen Stadium and even players on the sideline.
The game began with a bouquet of flowers laid at the 4-yard line at one end of Oregon's sideline, in honor of former UO tight end Spencer Webb, who passed away over the summer before he could wear No.
