On a captivating Saturday, Oregon Ducks showed their dominance, securing an undefeated run in their regular season by beating Washington 49-21. Spearheaded by star quarterback Dillon Gabriel, the Ducks cemented their status with impressive plays both in the air and on the ground. Gabriel threw for two touchdowns and ran for another, while Jordan James added to the score with his rushing prowess, helping propel Oregon to a clean 12-0 record. The Ducks previously secured their spot in the Big Ten title clash for next weekend, setting up a date with last year's Pac-12 opponent, Penn State. This victory was not just another win, but a testament to the resilience and character of the team, as highlighted by Ducks coach Dan Lanning. Meanwhile, Washington aimed for a bowl game opportunity as their head coach Jedd Fisch motivated the team post-game. Despite flashes of potential with a 201-yard throw from QB Demond Williams Jr., the Huskies couldn't stop Oregon’s relentless drive. As the dust settles, the Ducks look ahead with eagerness to their upcoming championship face-off, and the Huskies prepare to discover their next destination in their bowl journey.
