In a commanding display of strength and skill, the Oregon Ducks won their seventh straight game by dominating Purdue with a 35-0 shutout victory. Coming off a narrow and intense victory against Ohio State, Oregon, under coach Dan Lanning, proved their prowess with a strong start on Purdue's territory. They scored early with Jordan James's rushing touchdowns on their first two possessions, followed by effective execution in the air by Dillon Gabriel. Oregon's defense held firm, and Purdue struggled to find a groove, with Ryan Browne having a tough time in his second career start. Despite the challenges of a long road game on a short week, Oregon's defense and offense worked in perfect harmony to deliver their first road shutout since 1992. With playoff hopes in sight, all eyes are now on how Oregon's ranking could change following other key matchups. Meanwhile, Purdue continues to face challenges, enduring a sixth consecutive loss amidst fans' calls for change. The Ducks remain undefeated, eyeing their matchup against Illinois next, while Purdue will look for redemption after their upcoming bye.
