EUGENE, Ore. – The difference between Dakota Prukop in his UO debut and in his second game as a Duck, on Saturday against Virginia, was like night and day.
And that had nothing to do with the kickoff times of the two games.
Prukop, Oregon's graduate transfer quarterback, looked more comfortable running the UO offense in the Ducks 44-26 win over the Cavaliers on Saturday evening. He amassed 331 passing yards on 21-of-31 completions, throwing three touchdowns for the second week in a row.
Prukop also played with a loose confidence in his second UO start, airing out long bombs to Devon Allen and pitching the football in run plays after he'd already escaped the pocket.
