Oregon overcame a slow start in the first half to take a commanding first-half lead over Nevada.
A costly special teams miscue compromised what was otherwise an excellent first-half defensively for the Ducks, highlighted by a number of impact plays by cornerback Deommodore Lenoir. 
Herbert found two different tight ends and an offensive lineman on three separate touchdown passes. Highly touted freshman Kayvon Thibodeaux made his first significant play as a Duck, bringing down the Nevada punter inside the Wolfpack’s own 10-yard line.
Herbert threw four touchdown passes in the first half.
