Freshman running back Jordon Davison also had a standout performance, rushing for 57 yards and 2 touchdowns on 7 carries.
Oregon's defense was the key to the game, limiting Minnesota to just 62 rushing yards. The Ducks, who were ranked 3rd in the nation in total defense heading into the matchup, set the tone early by scoring on their opening drive. Davison's 1-yard touchdown run put Oregon up 7-0, and the Ducks never looked back.
After Minnesota cut the deficit to 14-3 in the second quarter, Oregon pulled away with 2 more touchdowns before halftime to take a 28-6 lead. The Ducks added 2 more scores in the second half to seal the convincing victory.
