9 major takeaways from Oregon’s dominant 42-6 win over Stanford

Oregon’s DL does it again, and the team learned how to win after getting off to an abysmal start. Our biggest takeaways from Saturday’s 42-6 blowout.

For the first time since the 2013 season, the Oregon Ducks are 5-0.

That may seem hard to believe considering Oregon played for the national championship in 2014 and won the Rose Bowl in the 2019 season, but it’s true.

The Ducks enter their bye week with an undefeated record and ranked as one of the top 10 teams in the nation. For a brief period of time on Saturday, it looked like that may not be the case. The Ducks fell behind 6-0 and punted on their first two possessions.

In classic Oregon fashion, though, they turned it around quickly and scored 42 unanswered points, blowing out the Cardinal and covering the spread with ease for the fifth time this year.

It wasn’t a perfect game, but it was a performance that gave us a lot of insights into who this Duck team is at this point. Here are some of our biggest takeaways from Oregon’s 42-6 drubbing over Stanford.
