Jacob Eason rose to the challenge on Saturday. The pass game had struggled against conference teams, was playing without top receiver Aaron Fuller (injured very early in the game), and was going against a suffocating Oregon defense. He turned that opportunity into 23-30 for 289 yards, 3 TDs and zero turnovers. He found open receivers, and distributed the ball well, connecting with 9 different players. Considering the opponent this was probably his best game of the season, averaging nearly 10 yards per attempt.
