The Oregon Ducks definitely didn't show their speed and pop in the opening minutes of their season opener on Saturday night.

As the Oregon offense sputtered, Bowling Green took advantage and jumped out to a 10-0 lead. But the Ducks responded in a big way, reeling off 37 consecutive points to take control of the game on their way to a 58-24 victory.

Justin Herbert looked the part of a Heisman candidate, throwing for five touchdowns despite his receivers dropping some passes.

The Ducks spread the wealth among their running backs, giving carries to six of their backs.
