A week after Oregon’s devastating loss to Washington, the Ducks were able to regain momentum with a 38-24 win at home over the Washington State Cougars. After struggling to finish drives after the beginning of the game, Oregon’s offense committed to running the ball and they started to score consistently.
Ducks’ RB Bucky Irving was the star of the show today as he finished with three of Oregon’s TDs. Irving ended up getting hurt in the fourth quarter, but he walked off under his own power. Hopefully, he’s healthy enough to play against Utah next week because the Ducks will need him.
Washington State’s offense played well throughout the game and finished with nearly 500 yards, but they struggled too much on defense to stop the Ducks’ offense, which allowed Oregon to get the win.
