Photo Gallery: Ducks dominate Beavers in early Civil War blowout

Photo Gallery: The Oregon Ducks dominated the Beavers in a rare, early, non-conference Civil War battle.

On a partly cloudy, but pleasant afternoon in Corvallis, the Ducks and Beavers met in Reser Stadium for a non-conference matchup.

Nearly everything in that sentence is foreign for both fanbases. What’s not foreign, however, is Oregon controlling the line of scrimmage and having its way with the in-state rivals coming out on top 49-14.

The Ducks are now 3-0 as they head into the bye week before beginning Big Ten play for the first time in history.

Oregon was facing many questions after two sub-par performances, but the Ducks put a lot of those questions to rest. The biggest concern was the offensive line, but with the way they played against the Beavers, the Oregon coaching staff couldn’t have asked for a better game from that unit.

They protected quarterback Dillon Gabriel and gave him a ton of time to throw and they opened up huge holes in the running game. It was an incredible improvement and the Ducks are excited moving forward.

Here are the best pictures after the big Civil War victory.

Joel Klatt makes bold score prediction for Ducks vs. Beavers in 2024 Civil War

In his podcast show, college football analyst Joel Klatt makes a bold score prediction for the 2024 Civil War.

On his podcast this week, college football analyst Joel Klatt talked about the upcoming Civil War game between the Ducks and the Beavers before giving a prediction.

Klatt said what most around the country are thinking: Oregon hasn’t played up to its potential even though the Ducks came out victorious in both games. They avoided the upset that Notre Dame or Florida State couldn’t do.

But he said the Ducks played awfully, which might be a bit of a stretch when you consider the Boise State game. Oregon didn’t play great, but then he said Boise State could be a playoff team and Ashton Jeanty is one of the best running backs in the country.

Yet the Ducks still won, so, go figure.

Then he talks about the Beavers and how this game usually takes place in November after the teams had time to establish themselves. Since this game is so early and Oregon State may lack depth, playing this game now and in Corvallis is a huge advantage.

All of that may be true, but talent is talent and the team with the better quarterback wins most of the time, no matter where the game is played. He said Dillon Gabriel could be the difference here before giving his prediction.

Here is the full segment of the Joel Klatt podcast show as he breaks down the Ducks and the Civil War.
