In what might be considered the most impressive win in the Dan Lanning Era, Oregon stormed into Salt Lake City and crushed the hometown Utes 35-6.
The Duck victory broke Utah’s 18-game home winning streak and put Oregon in a position where they are favorites to go to the Pac-12 title game Dec. 1 in Las Vegas. Of course, they still have USC and Oregon State on the schedule, but both of those games are in Autzen Stadium.
Oregon still has hopes of going to the College Football Playoff and this win would be one of those signature win the committee could point to. The Ducks opened the game with a touchdown and set the tone for the entire day. It was also the ESPN College Gameday game of the week and no doubt millions of people saw the Ducks dominate with the national telecast on Fox.
