Checking in at the half.

Oregon leads Colorado 35-0 and it's hard to find anything that hasn't been going the Ducks way. Other than some early penalties in the first quarter, the Ducks look like they're completely locked in.

Oregon has 378 total yards of offense and Colorado has just 21.

Even when Oregon was scoring early in the first half, I wasn't a huge fan of the quick passes outside, but I can't complain about much now. Bo Nix is making all the right decisions except for his one interception--the first of the season. 

Oregon's been dominant running the ball and they're keeping fresh legs by rotating Bucky Irving, Noah Whittington and Jordan James. Troy Franklin is putting on a clinic and slicing up the Buffs' secondary with ease. Tez Johnson has also been contributing and I love watching him run with the ball. 

On the other side of the ball, it's been a long day for Shedeur Sanders so far, as he's been sacked four times already. Jordan Burch, Brandon Dorlus, Evan Williams and Teitum Tuioti have all gotten in on the fun and the secondary has been playing great in coverage. 

Colorado's offensive line has been terrible and great skill talent can't mask how outmatched they are. 

I really like how much I've seen the true freshmen playing whether it was Tuioti, Matayo Uiagalelei, Blake Purchase or Iapani Laloulu. Everyone has been making an impact and Dan Lanning isn't showing any signs of slowing down after saying he isn't satisfied before heading into the locker room.

Colorado will get the ball to start the second half.
