Oregon steamrolled Northwestern 34-14 in a dominant road performance that saw the Ducks build a 34-0 lead before the Wildcats found late consolation. The Ducks' multi-faceted ground attack produced three rushing touchdowns, including Dierre Hill Jr.'s explosive 66-yard sprint in the third quarter. Northwestern finally showed signs of life in the fourth quarter with Caleb Komolafe's short plunge and Dashun Reeder's electrifying 79-yard touchdown run, but it was far too little too late.
