The brand of football Oregon fans waited to witness in person all year was on full display Saturday night. The Ducks offense totaled 777 yards and methodically marched down the field with ease in its 44-28 win over Cal.
The 777 yards of total offense was a school record for the Ducks.
Oregon’s offense overcame a slow start and scored 31 unanswered points to close the first half, a half they totaled 441 yards of offense in. Quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. finished 17-for-29 for 300 yards and four touchdowns while Royce Freeman added 180 yards on the ground.
Darren Carrington had four catches for 112 yards while Bralon Addison added five catches for 79 yards and two touchdowns.
The Ducks’ defense played up to par as well. Cal’s Jared Goff finished with 329 yards passing and two touchdowns. He completed 18-of-41 passes and threw an interception late in the game to seal Cal’s fate.
With the win, the Ducks keep their slim chances alive to win the Pac-12 North division. The Ducks must win out, including a victory over No. 11 Stanford next week, while the Cardinal must lose to the Ducks and then Cal to end the Pac-12 season.
