The Oregon Ducks football team improved to 4-1 on the season with a 45-27 victory over Stanford in a game where the final score doesn’t indicate how dominating they were.
Stanford scored two late touchdowns against Oregon’s backups, but the Ducks showed which team was the better one in this Pac-12 After Dark showdown.
There was a huge downside, however. The Ducks were penalized 14 times for 135 yards, including 10 times in the first half alone. That’s a lot of laundry on the field and it’s going to be a point of emphasis in upcoming practices, according to head coach Dan Lanning.
Without all those flags, Oregon could have scored 60 and it makes the Ducks dangerous moving forward. Here is this week’s report card.
