Oregon by the numbers: a look at the Ducks 3-0 start, and a peek at the Civil War

After three games Oregon ranks 10th in scoring defense at 10 points a game. They've outscored opponents 162-30, and all three touchdowns they've allowed have come in the fourth quarter against the third team defense.

Oregon's leading receiver through three games is Malik Benson, 11 catches for 161 yards and two touchdowns. He and Dante Moore have connected on 11-14 passes.

True Freshman running back Dierre Hill leads the Ducks in rushing, 11 carries for 161 yards and two touchdowns, 14.6 yards per carry. The team still has four ball carriers averaging over 11 yards a carry, and Jayden Limar has 20-145, 7.3 per carry.

In eight quarters of football (plus one play) Dante Moore is 50-64 passing for 657 yards, 78% completions, 10.3 YPA, 7 TDs and 1 interception, zero sacks. His completion percentages in the first three games: 78%, 76%, 80%, with minimal use of the screen pass and quick game.

Oregon State ranks 119th in passing defense after their 0-3 start and 132nd running the football, relying heavily on the arm of transfer quarterback Maalik Murphy, who throws 41 times a game for 298 yards a game.

Big-play merchants: The Ducks have 21 plays of 20 yards or more, and they've limited opponents to six plays of 20 yards or more.

Red Zone perfection: Oregon is No. 1 in the nation in Red Zone conversions, a perfect 16-16 with 14 touchdowns and two field goals.

Thunder from Down Under: Punter James Ferguson-Reynolds has been called up just four times, but he's dropped those punts at the 5, 9 and 10-yard lines, three of four inside the 20 with zero return yards.

Reliable o-line: Oregon's offensive line, led by starters Alex Harkey, Dave Iuli, Iapani Laloulu, Emmanuel Pregnon and Isaiah World, has surrendered zero sacks through three games while spearheading a rushing attack that's 11th in the nation at 247 yards per game, third nationally in yards per carry at 6.99.

The Ducks' 13 rushing touchdowns stands second in the nation behind Navy.

High-powered offense: The Quack Attack sits third in the nation in scoring at 54 points a game behind Texas Tech and USC. Oregon's 22 touchdowns trail only the Red Raiders.

In their 0-3 start, the Beavers have reached the end zone just eight times while putting up a paltry 18.7 points a game, 115th in the nation.

OSU's pass defense ranks 119th in the country, surrendering 274 yards a game, a passer rating of 164.9. Their run defense fares marginally better, 93rd, 151 yards a game, 4.48 yards per carry.

Historically the Beavers have typically played the Ducks tougher. A betting line is not yet available at FanDuel or Draft Kings, but the ESPN matchup predictor pegs the Ducks as a 98.7 percent favorite. It could get ugly.
