Freshman Jordon Davison began his Duck career with three touchdown runs in the opener, one of 12 freshman to play in Oregon's 59-13 win over Montana State. | Ben Lonergan/The Register-Guard / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn ImagesIt'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.
