Oregon Ducks Records To Watch

Fresh off a 69-3 domination of Oklahoma State, Oregon faces Northwestern for the second time in program history (1974.) Here are five Ducks records/milestones to watch on Saturday:

  • Oregon has yet to allow a sack in 2025 and has given up just three tackles for loss through two games.
  • High fliying offense! The Ducks are averaging 64.0 points per game, scoring 50-plus points in back-to-back games for the first time since 2018.
  • An Oregon win would mark a 3-0 start to the season for the third year in a row and fifth time since 2020.
  • A victory would make the Ducks 14-2 on the road under Lanning
  • Look for Oregon quarterback Dante Moore to continue his hot streak. Moore is 34-of-44 in his first two games as Oregon's starter, ranking eighth nationally with a 77.3 completion percentage.

Lanning on development of young players:

“I think we have a young group that's a really mature group. And there's a lot of guys you walk in that locker room, you walk into a meeting room, in the training room, you see them preparing like vets, even though they might be freshmen," Lanning said.

“... But that also goes back to the leadership that we do have on our team, of veterans, of those guys, be able to see what it looks like, how they have to prepare, and then good evaluation, good development of those guys put in a position to be able to go play," Lanning continued.
