By the Numbers: Oregon vs Texas Tech
It was a thrilling late afternoon game for the Ducks on the road Saturday. A very fired up Texas Tech team welcomed the Ducks following a tough week one loss to Wyoming on the road.
Oregon fans meanwhile weren’t sure what to expect. It was a dismantling of Portland State in week one but we knew Tech would be ready. And they were. Tyler Shough played a gritty game against his former team but came up short when it mattered most.
