Bo Nix got the start at quarterback, going 21 of 37 for 173 yards, with two interceptions. Oregon dug itself in to an early hole, in part because of the interceptions, but also because they could not effectively defend Stetson Bennett’s passing. Bennett ended his day just after three quarters going 25 for 31 with 368 yards.
