Dante Moore led the Ducks to a 17-0 lead with some crisp passing, making big completions to Dakorien Moore and Malik Benson on third down.

in the first half Moore connected on 13-16 for 125 yards and a touchdown, the TD coming just before halftime on a sharp throw to Kenyon Sadiq, Sadiq's second touchdown catch of the year.

Northwestern opened with the ball in the second half. Gage Hurych pounded the kickoff through the end zone. A first down run by Komolafe gained two. Another inside run left third and 5.

A drag route to Griffin Wilde underneath squeezed out a first down. Brandon Finney broke up a pass over the middle, nearly intercepted by Boeetcher on the carom. On third and five Stone hit Wilde for another first down.

A pass to the tight end and a run off right tackle by Komolafe moved the ball out to Oregon 35. Himon bounced a run outside left, sloppy tackling good for 7. The Ducks had a chance for a TFL. blew the tackle, third and one. Finally a break: on a play-action pass, Tuioti and Alexander combined for a sack.

Northwestern head coach David Braun went for it on 4th and 9 but the pass was dropped over the middle by wide receiver Ricky Ahumaraeze.
