Texas Tech vs. Wyoming score: Cowboys rally from three-score deficit to shock Texas Tech in double overtime Wyoming defeated Texas Tech in double overtime Saturday, 35-33, rallying from a 17-0 first-quarter deficit to stun the Red Raiders as two-touchdown underdogs at War Memorial Stadium in Laramie, Wyoming. In a game delayed by more than an hour prior to kickoff due to weather, the Cowboys found themselves down to their final breath in the second overtime series when quarterback Andrew Peasley connected with tight end John Michael Gyllenborg on a hot read for a touchdown. Wyoming then converted the 2-point conversion for the win. It was a wild ending to a game that was all Texas Tech early. The Red Raiders offense scored on its opening series of the night when quarterback Tyler Shough found wide receiver Myles Price for a 33-yard touchdown. They quickly doubled that lead to 14-0 with another touchdown following a fumble recovery that put the offense back on the field. Texas Tech later addend a field goal to exit the first quarter up 17-0 However, momentum seemingly shifted early in the second quarter after a Shough pass was intercepted by Wyoming defensive back Wrook Brown. Wyoming later tied the game at 17 on a 16-yard touchdown run by Sam Scott midway through the third quarter before taking a 20-17 lead on a field goal with just over six minutes into the fourth quarter.

Column: Oregon's offense is elite, but Ducks' championship dreams hinge on defensive excellence The Oregon Ducks broke the program record for scoring on Saturday afternoon against the Portland State Vikings, putting up 50 points in the first half of an eventual 81-7 win. They tallied 729 yards of total offense, converted 38 first downs, saw eight different players score a TD, and watched just five passes fall incomplete between three different quarterbacks. Is anyone surprised? Personally, I wouldn’t say so. With QB Bo Nix returning for one final year, we knew that the ceiling would be high for this offense, despite the fact that OC Kenny Dillingham was being replaced by Will Stein. When you put returning weapons like Bucky Irving, Troy Franklin, and Terrance Ferguson around Nix, and throw in transfers Tez Johnson Traeshon Holden, and Gary Bryant, then you’ve got the makings of a deep and talented unit that could easily compete on a championship stage. The offense was never the question coming into this season — we always knew that the Ducks would be able to put up points at will. Whether or not the defense could keep points off of the board, though, is what Oregon’s championship dreams hinged on.

True freshman tracker: Twenty-three frosh play in Oregon's season opener Winning a football game by 74 points provides a team a lot of benefits. Chief among them is the ability to empty benches and play the majority of the team's personnel. Saturday's 81-7 win over Portland State allowed the Ducks to play 81 total players, including 23 scholarship true freshmen.

The only way you’re gonna get better football is playing. "Some of those guys got out there, getting that early experience, those are gonna be guys we’re relying on later on the season.

Oregon’s Mascot Had To Do 546 Push-Ups Because The Team Beat Portland State 81-7 The Oregon Duck has had to do a whole lot of push-ups over the years. In a tradition that has gone on for some time, the mascot has needed to do one push-up for every point the football team has after each score, and in games where the team really runs it up, it can get a bit out of hand.
