Oregon QB Bo Nix sets NCAA record with 54th career start, passing Colt McCoy and Kellen Moore

 

Oregon's Bo Nix set an NCAA record with his 54th career start -- most among quarterbacks -- in Saturday's game against Washington State.

 

Nix's mark puts him in the clear of former quarterbacks like Boise State's Kellen Moore, Texas's Colt McCoy, Washington's Jake Browning and Northwestern's Clayton Thorson.

 

Notre Dame's Sam Hartman is the only active quarterback with 53 starts...

Washington State Player Got Obliterated Because He Wasn't Paying Attention

 

Washington State and Oregon are locked in a fierce Pac-12 battle on Saturday, and each team is angling for a win. The Ducks are ranked in the top ten, even after their close loss to Washington last week.

 

It appears that the Ducks are taking out their frustration on Washington State, as Bucky Irving made a physical run to the end zone to lift Oregon to a two-possession lead.

 

Irving's run was impressive on its own, but a block from a teammate may have been even better. Another Ducks player took out an unsuspecting Washington State player with a massive block to pave the way for Irving to score.

 

Take a look in the article to see the video. I know this play was discussed on the game thread today...

Bucky Irving's three touchdown day paves way for win over Cougars 

 

Bucky Irving scored three times and the Ducks put the Washington State Cougars down in the final meeting between the school's as Pac-12 rivals.

 

In what was his first three-touchdown game of his career, Irving scored the team's first of the game and then found the end zone twice in the second half on a pair of explosive plays of 43 and 44 yards.

 

Behind Irving's heroics, the Ducks raced to a 38-24 win over Washington State before a sellout crowd of 58,886 at Autzen Stadium. The junior finished with a season-high 180 yards from scrimmage.

 

Irving required medical attention after a fourth quarter hit. He was seen leaving the field following the win without a noticeable injury...

Ducks Wire Player of the Game: Bucky Irving tallies 3 TDs in Oregon win

 

The Oregon Ducks got off to a little bit of a slow start offensively against the Washington State Cougars, but after committing to the run game, things started to flow better. Ducks’ RB Bucky Irving was a large part of that success and is the Ducks Wire Player of the Game.

 

Irving scored his first of three TDs in the first half on a two-yard rush, but he really began to impress in the second half.

 

First, he had a 42-yarder on a swing pass from Bo Nix, and on his run after the catch, he received a huge lead block from Patrick Herbert. Just a few minutes later, Irving took a handoff, burst through to the second level, and was gone for a 43-yard TD.

 

By the end of the game, Irving had 129 yards on 15 carries, for an average of 8.6 yards per carry. His total of three TDs is a career-best for Irving, and it was also his first career game with a rushing TD and a receiving TD...

Rushing Attack Fuels Win Over WSU

 

Bo Nix threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, and Bucky Irving scored twice on the ground and once on a reception as the No. 9 Oregon football team got back on track with a 38-24 win Saturday over Washington State before a sellout homecoming crowd of 58,886 in Autzen Stadium.

 

Coming off their first loss of the season, the Ducks (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) started slow Saturday but got going in the second quarter behind a dominant rushing performance.

 

Irving ran for 129 yards and Jordan James added another 103 rushing yards as the balanced UO offense threw for 293 yards and ran for 248.

 

"It feels great," UO center Jackson Powers-Johnson said. "Our huge thing this week was just to go 1-0, and that's the biggest thing we're looking at."

 

A year after the Ducks needed a dramatic comeback to win at WSU, Cameron Ward again proved tough to wrangle for the UO defense.

 

He used his mobility to keep plays alive and ended up throwing for 438 yards, though with only touchdown — which came with 52 seconds left and Oregon up 38-16.

Dan Lanning believes Bucky Irving will be 'OK' after fourth quarter injury scare

 

It does not appear star running back Bucky Irving sustained a serious injury in Saturday's 38-24 win over Washington State.

 

Irving laid on the Autzen Stadium turf for a moment following a fourth quarter run play. He required medical assistance to get to his feet and spent some time in the medical tent before emerging shortly after.

 

"I don't have an update right now, but I know he went in for the last play of the game, so I think he's going to be OK," Oregon coach Dan Lanning told reporters after the win. "Obviously, we want to be smart and I'll get an update from the medical staff."

Oregon LB Jestin Jacobs on debut: 'When the moment came, I just knew I had to seize it'

 

Oregon linebacker Jestin Jacobs made his highly-anticipated debut on Saturday night against Washington State. After battling adversity at the start of the year, he showcased the talent he can bring to the Oregon defense.

 

For the first time since April 22, it was Jestin Jacobs' turn to get in front of the cameras and address his play on the football field.

 

As the soft-spoken, 6-foot-4, 245 lbs. linebacker stepped in from the locker room, his fellow teammate and position mate Jeffrey Bassa yelled two words for all to hear, "He's back!"

Bill Oram: Oregon Ducks’ Bucky Irving leads with his heart as much as his play

 

“I don’t know that anybody wants this team to be more successful than Bucky Irving,” Lanning said. “He cares about his team, he cares about his teammates, he loves hard.”

 

Irving grew up in Chicago. His father died when Irving was 2. His grandmother passed unexpectedly on the day he was offered a scholarship to play at Minnesota. A younger brother was later shot and killed.

 

Resilience is a term that gets thrown around too often in sports and not enough in life. Oregon’s star running back seems to embody it in both senses.

“I have three sons, I hope my sons can grow up and be like Bucky Irving,” Ducks coach Dan Lanning says of the UO running back.

3 takeaways from Oregon's 38-24 rebound win over Washington State

 

For about a half there, the Washington State football team put a mighty big scare into the Oregon Ducks.

 

But then Oregon’s ground game got going… and stayed going.

 

The Ducks’ 2 impressive backs, Bucky Irving and Jordan James — who came into the game ranked third and first in the conference in yards per carry — both topped 100 yards and Bo Nix came just shy of hitting the 300-yard mark through the air in a 38-24 win over the reeling Cougars.

 

All in all, it was an ideal rebound win for the Ducks, who put the disappointing Washington loss behind them.

Instant Takeaways from Oregon vs. Washington State

 

The No. 9 ranked Oregon Ducks found success against visiting Washington State and won 38-24 to claim its sixth win of the season and keep pace for a spot in the Pac-12 Championship Game.  What stood out to us in this win?

 

"It was battle. I still don't feel like we played a full game. I was disappointed about how we finished there in the fourth and I thought there were some big momentum swings. Some big fourth down stops, some big runs from our offense, and a lot of battling down the field.

 

What I feel is, our team plays for each other and you really saw that today the way those guys competed.

 

Washington State had a good plan they came in and they executed and their quarterback a special player but so is ours and I think that showed up today."

9 Major Takeaways: Oregon rolls to a 38-24 win behind Bucky Irving's big game

 

The Oregon Ducks needed a win like this.

 

After their brutal loss to the Washington Huskies a week ago, Dan Lanning and his team were in need of a bounce-back opportunity, one in which they got tested, for certain, but never really had the outcome placed in doubt.

 

That’s what they got on Saturday afternoon in front of a sold-out Autzen Stadium as the Ducks rolled to a 38-24 win over the Washington State Cougars.

 

The number on the scoreboard looks closer than the game really was, with Cameron Ward and the Cougars adding a late touchdown with 52 seconds left in the game to make it a respectable score, and ultimately cover the betting spread.

 

There were some ups and downs in this game and a lot of things that it’s clear Oregon needs to clean up over the next week before going to Salt Lake City to face a dangerous Utah team.

 

Here are some of our major takeaways from the Ducks’ sixth victory of the year...

Recap: Oregon's running game dominates in win over Washington State

 

After accumulating his fourth loss so far as Oregon’s head coach, the question about how this team would bounce back after a loss showed up again for Dan Lanning.

 

None of the three Ducks losses last season were consecutive, so how would this year’s team respond?

 

Saturday, we found out in what ended up as a 38-24 victory for the Ducks (6-1, 3-1 Pac-12) at Autzen Stadium. Washington State came to town hoping for its own bounce-back performance after an abysmal beatdown against Arizona last week.

 

The once-ranked Cougs were given the challenging task of figuring out Oregon’s high-powered offense. The Huskies struggled to do so last week but figured it out on crucial fourth-down tries.

 

The failed attempts from last week may cause some sort of change in play calling. The 3-point loss very well could have been avoided had just one of those three attempts been converted.

 

OREGON.RIVALS.COM

The Ducks had two 100-yard rushers in their 14-point victory over Washington State on Saturday at Autzen Stadium.

Bucky Irving shines as Oregon topples Washington State, 38-24
 

Oregon will be under pressure every single game until the end of the season. That was shown in  today’s 38-24 victory over Washington State.

 

Pressure because the Ducks’ are just one loss away from being effectively eliminated from the college football playoff.

 

Pressure to keep Bo Nix’s name alive as a Heisman candidate.

 

Pressure to maintain head coach Dan Lanning’s self proclaimed “Oregon standard.”

 

But as Bucky Irving burst through the Washington State defense on his way to his third touchdown of the game, the pressure was lifted from the Ducks’ back Saturday afternoon...

Statistically speaking: Oregon football’s offense leads Pac-12, except in red zone

 

Oregon’s offense continues to rank in the top 10 in every meaningful statistic, except inside the red zone.

 
The No. 9 Ducks (5-1, 3-1 Pac-12) lead the country in total offense and are second in scoring and top the Pac-12 in rushing, pass efficiency, third down and sacks allowed. Yet when they get inside the 20-yard line the Ducks drop to 51st (86.5%).
 
UO’s touchdown percentage in the red zone (72.97%) ranks 20th, but against five Power Five teams it’s 34th (65.38%).
 
Not surprisingly, the top offenses in the country over the past several years typically also rank highly in red zone scoring. In 2022, Tennessee led the country in total offense and was third in red zone scoring. Ohio State was 12th in red zone scoring but 45th in touchdown percentage in 2021. LSU was 2nd in red zone scoring in 2019 and Oklahoma was 9th in 2018.
 
Defensively, Oregon’s pass defense has gone from 5th nationally after five games to 56th following back-to-back games against the top two passing offenses in the country.
 
Here is where Oregon ranked in the Pac-12 and nationally after Week 8:

Bounceback win over Washington State keeps Ducks in thick of Pac-12 title race

 

The ninth-ranked Ducks played far from a perfect game their first time on the field after last weekend's loss in Seattle.Penalties, miscues and a missed field goal allowed the visiting Cougars to take a first half lead.

 

Then the home team's dominance resurfaced.

 

The Ducks ran the ball down the Cougars throats, stifled Cameron Ward's heroics and dominated the middle two quarters to soar to a two-score win over Washington State.

 

"I think they came out and they took a team's best punch. Washington State played really hard today too, and they had some big moments within that game," Oregon coach Dan Lanning said after the 38-24 home win.

 

"I don't think our guys ever got rattled. They stayed focused in the moment and that's really what playing great football is about being one-play focus."

 

On a Saturday where the league's other Pac-12 title favorites wavered, the Ducks took care of business.

 

They ran for a season-high against FBS competition, didn't turn the ball over and made the Cougars work for their points...

Stock Report: Jestin Jacobs makes debut, while Bucky Irving bursts onto national stage

 

Saturday’s game against the Washington State Cougars was nowhere near the biggest game that the Oregon Ducks have played, or will play during the 2023 college football season, but it seemingly had one of the biggest impacts thus far when it comes to putting one of its player on the national stage.

 

Running back Bucky Irving took the opportunity and ran with it.

 

In front of a national ABC broadcast, Irving racked up 180 total yards and three touchdowns, with 42- and 43-yard scores on back-to-back drives captivating the television audience and turning the heads of some NFL scouts.

 

Elsewhere, there were a number of highlight performances on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball.

 

As we always do, let’s go through our weekly stock report to highlight some of the top players in the contest...

Column: Ducks display patience in win over Cougars, sending message to fans in the process

 

Phil Knight seemed to be in a much better mood as this game wound down to a close.

 

Just a week after he watched his Oregon Ducks lose in frustrating fashion from the visiting sideline of Husky Stadium as a light drizzle started to come down, the Nike Co-Founder was in a lighter mood as he enjoyed the winning side once again.

 

I shared an elevator with Oregon’s biggest donor on Saturday afternoon as he traveled from his suite inside Autzen Stadium down to the field in the fourth quarter of the Ducks game against the Washington State Cougars.

 

He smiled and joked with the several members of his entourage, and struck up a short conversation with the elevator clerk as we descended to the concourse.

 

After exchanging a few words, Knight stood quietly, patiently waiting for the doors to open...

Snap Count Takeaways: Major notes from Oregon's usage report vs. Washington State

 

Saturday’s game between the Oregon Ducks and Washington State Cougars gave us an interesting look at the roster that Dan Lanning is deploying in Eugene.

 

While we are in the middle of the season, and the depth chart is largely set, a couple of injuries gave us a look at where things stand deeper on the rotational sheet.

 

On top of that, we finally got the debut for Oregon linebacker Jestin Jacobs, who played a big role in his first game for the Ducks.

 

So with an eye on the usage report in Eugene, what did we ultimately learn about the Ducks in Week 8?

Where Oregon's defense ranks nationally in key statistics after win over Washington State

 

The Oregon Ducks’ defense has been one of the main reasons that Dan Lanning’s team has found such success so far this season.

 

Early in the year, when the level of competition was far less than what it is now, the defense was completely dominant, putting up some of the best numbers in the nation.

 

While the defense has still been very good, and a huge part of why Oregon is continuing to win games, the numbers have dropped a little bit because of the increased level of competition.

 

That is certainly the case for the past two weeks, where the Ducks faced two of the best offenses in the Pac-12 in Washington and Washington State.

 

Despite those challenges, the defense held up admirably.

 

Here’s where they now rank nationally in some key statistics after Week 8 of the season...

Ranking Oregon's top 10 players vs. Washington State according to PFF grades

 

The Oregon Ducks got back down to business last week against the Washington State Cougars, and they got a much-needed win to bounce back following their first loss of the season.

 

It was a strong performance from Oregon’s offense, putting up 38 points and over 500 yards of offense with nearly 250 of those yards coming on the ground. Bucky Irving and Jordan James ran wild, while QB Bo Nix had an efficient day distributing the football.

 

On the defensive side of the ball, the Cougars were able to put up some numbers, but the Ducks stepped up when it was needed the most and got a relatively stressless victory.

 

So which players performed the best in that game?

 

As always, we turn to Pro Football Focus’ grades to see where everyone graded out...
