Bo Nix to Tez Johnson for 51 yards. <br><br>The Oregon offense is getting anything they want today. Just can't hurt yourself with penalties.

Bo Nix already over 100 yards passing - 4 of 6 for 108 yards in the first quarter

Meanwhile, Irving notched 129 yards on the ground and recorded a career-high three total touchdowns. This included an impressive 43-yard rush that began with a jump cut in the backfield and finished in the end zone.

Running back Jordan James also broke the century mark, racking up 103 yards on his 13 carries.

Fans were impressed by Oregon's offense climbing out of an early 10-3 hole and coming alive in the second half.

Bucky Irving is having himself a day for Oregon. Just broke a dude's ankles, then off to a 43-yard TD. Oregon up 31-16.

Bucky Irving is so good

The Ducks bounced back in a major way after their narrow 36-33 loss to No. 5 Washington in Week 7. Oregon look to keep its momentum rolling in the team's next game, a Pac-12 showdown against No. 14 Utah.
