Ranking Oregon’s top 10 players vs. Washington State according to PFF grades
The Oregon Ducks got back down to business last week against the Washington State Cougars, and they got a much-needed win to bounce back following their first loss of the season.
It was a strong performance from Oregon’s offense, putting up 38 points and over 500 yards of offense with nearly 250 of those yards coming on the ground. Bucky Irving and Jordan James ran wild, while QB Bo Nix had an efficient day distributing the football.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Cougars were able to put up some numbers, but the Ducks stepped up when it was needed the most and got a relatively stressless victory.
