It's just one game, and it was a blowout against an FCS opponent, but what a marvelous contrast to last year's stumbling opening win over Idaho.
It was clear Dan Lanning and the coaching staff, particularly offensive line coach A'lique Terry, challenged the Ducks to execute at a high level and play with focus. It showed. They had just three penalties all day, one by the offensive line, a holding call in the third quarter with Oregon already leading 38-6.
That made it 3rd and 14. Dante Moore responded by connecting with Jay Harris on a route out of the backfield, which Harris turned into a 50-yard gain rumbling down the middle.
