RUNNING BACK

Grade: A+

We’re not sure if it gets any better than this. Oregon rushed for 306 yards with Brown leading the way. But Travis Dye continues to be a touchdown machine as he found the end zone twice, once rushing and once receiving. He gained 88 yards and true freshman Byron Cardwell ran for 98 yards and two touchdowns.
