The Oregon Ducks were in an unfamiliar position at halftime, sharing a 14-14 tie with the UCLA Bruins, but the Ducks dominated the second half en route to a 42-14 victory at Autzen Stadium. Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota finished with 230 passing yard and one touchdown, while running back Byron Marshall continued his hot streak on the ground, rushing for 133 yards and three touchdowns. The defense also played spectacularly, holding quarterback Brett Hundley to a season-low 64 passing yards and intercepting him twice. Oregon improved it’s record to 8-0 on the season.
