Ducks lead 28-7 at halftime, playing inspired defense minus one play, dominating the scoreboard despite a sluggish start on offense.
Darron Thomas riled his critics with several errant passes, but finished the half 15-25 for 167 yards and 3 touchdowns. David Paulson’s having a big game, hauling down 6 passes for 87 yards and a nifty td catch. LaMichael James is already over a hundred yards 109 on 18 carries, and De’Anthony Thomas broke lose for 5 carries 82 yards, 3 receptions 22 yards and a touchdown.
Oregon gets the ball first to start the second half, and with another scoring drive, the rout is on. Chip Kelly will probably go into protection mode, partly out of respect for Mike Riley.
