Oregon by the numbers: a look at the Ducks 3-0 start, and a peek at the Civil War

In eight quarters of football (plus one play) Dante Moore is 50-64 passing for 657 yards, 78% completions, 10.3 YPA, 7 TDs and 1 interception, zero sacks. His completion percentages in the first three games: 78%, 76%, 80%, with minimal use of the screen pass and quick game.

Oregon State ranks 119th in passing defense after their 0-3 start and 132nd running the football, relying heavily on the arm of transfer quarterback Maalik Murphy, who throws 41 times a game for 298 yards a game.

The experts lowballed the Ducks as a playoff and national title contender this year.

Isaiah World: "Ready for any situation."

Jerry Mixon: "Tell myself that I belong."

Theran Johnson: "One play at a time."

The Oregon Ducks have been one of the hottest teams in the country to begin the season, sprinting out to a 3-0 start. The first two weeks of the season saw the Ducks post massive blowouts, but this last game against the Northwestern Wildcats was their toughest victory yet.

The game had an extremely early start time, which seemed to affect Oregon as they showed a bit of sloppiness, leading to their smallest margin of victory this season. But that doesn’t matter to bettors as the team opens as -34.5-point favorites against the Oregon State Beavers according to FanDuel Sportsbook.

Through the first three weeks of the season, the Oregon Ducks have looked like one of the best teams in the nation, putting forth an efficient offense and a dominant defense.

They now go into their final week of the non-conference with a storied matchup against the Oregon State Beavers, the 129th playing of the rivalry game. It's expected to be a lopsided affair, unfortunately, for the sake of the rivalry, largely due to the different trajectories of both programs over the last couple of years, thanks to conference realignment.
