“You can't put a Band-Aid on this and make it look any better. It's the worst score we've seen in a long time on Oklahoma State football. ... This is about as bad a beatdown as I've seen in a long, long time for Oklahoma State football. I thought we hit rock bottom at Colorado. This is even worse.”

The “rock bottom” that the Oklahoma State radio team spoke about on-air was the inverse of the feelings Ducks fans had in Autzen Stadium during the week two game. The Ducks dragged Oklahoma State to rock bottom through the play of Ducks quarterback Dante Moore.

The legend of Dakorien Moore continues to grow as the freshman receiver caught one touchdown and rushed in a touchdown on a sweep play to the outside. The Ducks put up a whopping 631 yards of total offense on the day.

Oregon Ducks Defense Reels In Two Pick-Sixes

The Ducks' defense played a big role in handing Oklahoma State their “rock bottom” moment, as referenced by the Oklahoma State radio. The Ducks' defense was stout, pulling in back-to-back interceptions while returning both for touchdowns.

Oregon Ducks defensive back Peyton Woodyard reeled in a pass while he was lurking in coverage. Woodyard was animated after the game when talking about his pick-six.

“Yeah, just following my rules on the play, I was on the tight end block and I kind of snuck back into the defensive line. My d-line was always in the quarterback's face, and it fell into my hands.”

The matchup had been preceded by Oklahoma State Cowboys coach Mike Gundy and Oregon Ducks coach Dan Lanning trading jabs through press conferences, with the heated topic of NIL coming up. Lanning simply replied to Lundy’s antics by suggesting that some teams spend to win, while others save to have an excuse as to why they don't.

The Ducks will play Oklahoma State at least once more in the next decade, with the Ducks' return fixture to Stillwater taking place next season before conference play gets underway. The Ducks will now set their sights on a trip to Illinois to take on Northwestern in week 3.
