In what was nothing short of an instant classic and in some ways, a miracle, the no. 7 Stanford Cardinal found a way to win in Eugene, Oregon versus a physical no. 20 Oregon Ducks team, 38-31.
To say this game was an emotional roller coaster for both teams is an understatement. Oregon had their way with Stanford for the majority of the game on both sides of the ball.
Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert was 26 for 33 and threw for 346 yards to wide open receivers all night. When he wasn’t tossing the ball to wide open receivers, he rushed for 35 yards, handed CJ Verdell 20 carries for 115 yards, experiencing minimal pressure from the Cardinal defense in the first half.
