Thanks to four big plays from running backs Royce Freeman and Kani Benoit and wide receiver Darren Carrington, Team Free dominated Team Brave 34-11 in Oregon's 2017 spring game.
Saturday was the first official showing for new head coach Willie Taggart, who took over after Mark Helfrich led the Ducks to a 4-8 record in 2016. It was their first losing season since 2004.
Defense was the biggest problem in Helfrich's final season. Oregon finished 126th out of 128 FBS teams with 41.4 points allowed per game in 2016.
The spring game didn't get off to a great start for anyone hoping to see an improved defense.
