It was all about Oregon in Tempe Saturday. The No. 6 Ducks rolled into the southwest with the nation’s top-rated offense, averaging 46 points-per-game, and did not disappoint in their 49-13 win over Arizona State.
Bo Nix went 24-for-29, throwing for 404 yards and a career-high six touchdowns in his 20th win as Oregon’s starting quarterback. This was Nix’s 58th career start, the most in NCAA history by a QB.
Oregon’s Troy Franklin had eight receptions for 128 yards and two touchdowns, breaking UO’s single-season receiving touchdown record. Franklin’s 24 career receiving TDs is tied for the Oregon all-time record. Franklin also set a new single-season program record for receiving yards previously held by Dillon Mitchell. Franklin has 1,223 yards on the year.
Kicker Camden Lewis became the new all-time leading scorer in program history with 386 points, surpassing Royce Freeman’s mark of 384.
Tight end Patrick Herbert scored a career-high two TDs for Oregon.
The win was the first for the Ducks in Tempe since 2015.
