Five takeaways from Oregon's statement win over Oregon State
The Oregon Ducks exorcised last season's demons on Friday and punched their ticket to Las Vegas in the process with a 31-7 drubbing of rival Oregon State. The No. 6 Ducks shut down the No. 16 Beavers' vaunted rushing attack and torched an Oregon State defense that was the 29th-best in the nation coming into the week. Bo Nix further bolstered his Heisman campaign and accounted for 397 net yards and three touchdowns. Here are five takeaways from Oregon's season-defining rivalry win at Autzen Stadium.
