It appeared the Ducks would fall behind 7-0 early, but after some meddling from the PAC-12 refs and a fumble out the end zone from Wazzu quarterback Jayden de Laura, the Ducks were able to reclaim the momentum with back-to-back scores from Travis Dye before the Cougs punched back with a couple of TDs to tie it 14-14 at the half.
Oregon responded by scoring 10 unanswered points in the third quarter, which included a powerful 17-yard TD run from quarterback Anthony Brown Jr. to reclaim the lead. A pair of long rushing touchdowns from freshman Byron Cardwell put the game out of reach before the Cougs ended the game with a feel-good score for the travelling WSU fans.
