EUGENE, Ore. — If there was one thing above all else the Oregon football team wanted to clean up from its opening game performance, it was the Ducks' slow start. If there was another, it was a flat finish.
In that regard, Saturday's second game of the 2018 season was a rousing success.
The Ducks (2-0) scored on each of their first two possessions and both of their final two possessions Saturday, held Portland State scoreless on its first four drives and played clean football marked by just two first-half penalties on the way to a 62-14 victory over the Vikings before a crowd of 47,210 in Autzen Stadium.
