Oregon hadn’t won a game at Utah since 2016, but that all changed on Saturday as the Ducks completely dominated the Utes, 35-6. Oregon jumped out to a quick 21-3 lead, then the defense intercepted two passes and held the Utah rushing attack to just 2.8 yards per carry.
The victory moved Oregon up two spots to No. 7 in this week’s AFCA Coaches Poll while Utah fell five spots from 13 to 18.
The poll is sponsored by US LBM, which is the largest privately owned, full-line distributor of specialty building materials in the United States.
