EUGENE, Ore. — Box Nix threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more as the No. 13 Oregon football team extended its winning streak to four games with a 45-27 victory Saturday over Stanford in Autzen Stadium.
After a slow start to a game marred by 14 penalties on the Ducks, Oregon took a 31-3 lead into halftime. The Ducks led by that 28-point margin early in the fourth quarter, 45-17, before working some younger players into the game.
Nix accounted for three touchdowns in the first half, then answered Stanford's first touchdown of the game in the third quarter by breaking free for an 80-yard touchdown run.
