STANFORD, Calif. — No. 23 Stanford rumbled to their fifth victory of the year after defeating Oregon 49-7 at Stanford Stadium on Saturday. Inexperience at the quarterback position, penalties and turnovers continue to cripple the Ducks.
The Cardinal offense registered 504 total yards to 309 for the Ducks. Stanford controlled the clock (37:17) and Oregon starting quarterback Braxton Burmeister.
UO’s third down trend continued with the offense going 4-for-11 and 0-for-1 on fourth down opposed to Stanford’s 58 percent third-down efficiency.
Oregon entered the game as the most-penalized team in the land. They exited it the same way after being penalized on nine separate occasions for a total of 101 yards.
