Oregon Dons Pink Helmets in 62-38 Victory Over Washington State
In an effort to support October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Oregon donned pink helmets, gloves, socks and cleats against Washington State Saturday night at Autzen Stadium. After weathering a Pac-12 record in pass attempts (89) and completions (58) from Cougars QB Connor Halliday, Oregon came out on top 62-38 to advance to 7-0 (4-0) in 2013.
RB Byron Marshall turned in his most complete game of the season, rushing 21 times for 192 yards and 3 touchdowns.
Oregon hosts UCLA next week, which is coming off a 24-10 loss to Stanford. ESPN’s College GameDay has announced that it will be on hand in Eugene in anticipation of Oregon’s game against the Bruins.
Halftime: Oregon 34, Washington State 24
The pink helmets donned by Oregon may have stolen the show to begin with, but Washington State’s offense has been the bigger story in the first half. Peyton Manning, er, Connor Halliday (319 yards, 2 TD, 1 INT), is absolutely shredding Oregon’s vaunted secondary. What’s more impressive is that he’s doing it with out any type of rushing attack to provide balance (-5 rushing yards). Marcus Mariota and Oregon have also been spectacular offensively, as the team has accounted for 483 total yards and 5 TD’s.
Turning point: With Oregon up just 27-21 after a strip/sack/TD, Thomas Tyner went 66 yards to the house on the Ducks’ next offensive possession. A field goal to end the half by Andrew “Janikowski” Furney made the final first half score 34-24.
You can bet Nick Allioti is giving his defense an earful in the locker room right now.
