Oregon took their home field as the No. 1 team in the country for the first time since 2012 and the Ducks didn’t disappoint. They put a blitzkrieg on the No. 20 Illinois Fighting Illini in the first half to take a 35-3 halftime lead and eventually won 38-9.
The Ducks are now 8-0 overall and 5-0 in Big Ten action as they seemingly head straight towards the Big Ten Championship Game in Indianapolis.
Perhaps by now, we should all see that this team is different from others. There has been no letdown, and they are experts at blocking out the outside noise that could derail them from achieving the ultimate goal of winning Oregon’s first-ever National Championship.
Speaking of noise, Autzen Stadium brought the noise once again and disrupted yet another Big Ten offense that just wasn’t ready for that kind of noise level.
Here are the best pictures of what was a beautiful day in Eugene.
