STORY: #3 Oregon Football Uses Big Second Half to Handle Washington State, 38-24

Written Story (by Sean MacPherson)

Oregon Football took care of business against Washington State on Saturday, 38-24. After surrendering a 70-yard pass on the second play from scrimmage, Oregon forced a touchback on a run from WSU QB Jayden De Laura. The Ducks used that momentum shift to jump out to a 14-0 lead, but the Cougars followed that up with a 14-0 run of their own to make the halftime score 14-14. Out of halftime, the Ducks struck right away with a big kick return from Mykael Wright that ultimately led to a 5 play, 43-yard scoring drive. The Ducks followed that up with a Camden Lewis FG to go up 24-14. With 10:28 left to play in the fourth quarter, Anthony Brown thought he found his second rushing TD of the day but instead fumbled to keep Washington State alive. Oregon scored on the ensuing drive, and a Bryan Addison interception essentially put the game away. Both teams managed to score once more, but the Ducks wound up with the 38-24 victory.

Story: Oregon Men's Basketball Routs SMU 86-63 to start 2-0

Written by Jonah Bruneau

It was an exciting Friday night inside Matthew Knight Arena for the Oregon Ducks Men's Basketball team as they hosted their second consecutive home game to open the season against the SMU Mustangs. The Mustangs came into the game 1-0 after defeating the McNeese State Cowboys 86-62 and were feeling confident as a result coming into the night. However, Oregon had plans of their own. Once the ball was tipped, the Ducks took control of the court and never let up after Senior Guard Jacob Young hit a three-pointer to open up the scoring. When it was all said and done, the Ducks recorded a 86-63 victory to go to 2-0 on the young season.

Oregon was able to spread the ball out plenty, as four players had tallied double-digit point totals.
