Eugene, OR – The Oregon Ducks have no problems running away from Oklahoma St Cowboys 69-3 at Autzen Stadium. When everything is working on offense and then the defense jumps aboard.
“I told our team right before the game that, you know, it never requires extra motivation for an opportunity to go out and kick ass, but it never hurts when somebody pours gasoline on the fire. So, I felt like these guys wanted a chance to go prove who they are,” said Oregon coach Dan Lanning.
Dante Moore picked up where he left off last week dropping back to pass on play action then hitting Dakorien Moore for a 65-yard touchdown. Moore finished the game with 266 yards, 3 touchdowns on 16-21 pass.
The Cowboys just didn’t have an answer to stop the Ducks offense. Their quarterback Zane Flores only threw for 67 yard in the game with two costly interceptions that set up points for the Ducks.
“We’re good when we score first. We’ve got a really good record when we score first, and we felt good about our openers.” said Lanning.
The Ducks offense racked up 631 total offensive yards. Being balance again 319 passing yards along with 312 rushing yards. This game Moore was able to connect with 11 different receivers getting everyone involved.
On the defensive side Peyton Woodyard had 30-yard interception for a touchdown for a career highlight in the 3rd quarter. This was the last points scored in the game.
“I think somebody just told me we had 28 guys make tackles in this game, which is huge. The more guys that you can play, the better you’re going to be,” said coach Lanning.
The Ducks will travel to Northwestern to play Big Noon game on Saturday 13th. The Cowboys will host Tulsa at home Friday night September 19th after a bye week.
