Statistically speaking: Oregon enters bye week among nation's best 3rd down offenses

Oregon is on pace to score its most points since 2012 thanks to an efficient and balanced offense that ranks among the nation's best on third downs.

The Ducks are converting 52.1 percent of the time this season after going 8 of 13 on third downs in a 42-24 win over Cal on Saturday.

While Oregon's rushing stats have fallen off, its passing yards are up nearly 100 per game compared to last year and that balance has the Ducks ranked 15th in total offense. UO's 45.6 points per game is slightly ahead of its pace in 2013 and 2014.
