Overview
- Oregon defeated Portland State 84-0 on Sept. 18, scoring a modern-era program record 84 points and 12 touchdowns and posting the largest margin of victory in Autzen Stadium history.
- Quarterback Dante Moore was 19-of-23 for 280 yards and four first-half touchdowns before leaving the game and Dylan Raiola completed all 11 of his passes for 124 yards and three touchdowns in relief.
- Oregon's defense held Portland State to 103 total yards and two rushing yards while forcing multiple turnovers, including two interceptions by freshman safety Jett Washington.
- Freshmen and underclassmen made notable contributions with several first career touchdowns and key plays, while receiver Jeremiah McClellan warmed up but did not play and was seen on the sideline in a boot.
- Coverage and analysts caution that the result must be weighed against Portland State's FCS status and say the Ducks' penalty issues and inconsistent pass rush remain problems to resolve before the Week 4 road test at USC.
