NO. 8 OREGON REBOUNDS WITH A BLOWOUT 56-10 ROAD WIN OVER RUTGERS – Dante Moore Throws 4 Touchdowns in the Victory

Dante Moore passed for 290 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 8 Oregon followed its first loss of the season with a 56-10 romp over Rutgers on Saturday night in the first meeting between the schools.

A week after falling 30-20 to Indiana at home, the Ducks ( 6-1, 3-1 Big Ten ) extended the nation’s longest road winning streak to 10 games.

Oregon RB Noah Whittington scores a touchdown in the first half vs Rutgers.

Noah Whittington ran for 125 yards and two TDs, and the Ducks piled up 750 total yards — 415 rushing and 335 passing — for the most yards against a Power 4 school this season.

The Scarlet Knights ( 3-4, 0-4 ) have not beaten a ranked team in 16 years, the longest active streak in college football.

They managed just 202 total yards with quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis constantly under pressure. He was 8 of 25 for 79 yards, threw two interceptions, and was sacked three times.

Oregon continued its torrid pace of explosion plays with eight plays of 30 yards or longer.

AT A GLANCE

Oregon: After a subpar performance against Indiana, Moore made it look easy against the overmatched Scarlet Knights.
