The Oregon Ducks had a huge victory over the Utah Utes on Saturday night, with a final score of 35-6. The Ducks were led by freshman quarterback Bo Nix, who threw for two touchdowns and ran for another.
Nix was impressive in his first start against a ranked opponent, completing 15 of his 22 passes for 227 yards and two touchdowns. He also added a rushing touchdown for good measure. Nix was able to spread the ball around to his receivers, connecting with nine different targets throughout the game.
The Ducks defense was also impressive, holding the Utes to just six points and forcing three turnovers. The Ducks forced two interceptions and recovered a fumble, which they turned into 14 points. The defense also held the Utes to just 2-of-14 on third down conversions.
The win was a big one for the Ducks, as it was their first win over a ranked opponent since 2016. It was also their first win over the Utes since 2015. The Ducks will now look to build on this momentum as they enter the rest of their Pac-12 schedule.
Bo Nix was the star of the night, but the entire team deserves credit for the victory. The defense was able to shut down the Utes offense and the offense was able to put up 35 points against a tough defense. It was a complete team effort that led to the Ducks’ victory.
The Ducks will now look to continue their winning ways as they take on the Colorado Buffaloes next week. With Bo Nix leading the way, the Ducks have a great chance to keep their winning streak alive.
