Dakota Prukop has had an excellent start to the season. He has completed 66.7 percent of his passes for 1,041 yards and eight touchdowns with just one interception. That interception came on Saturday against Colorado. Prukop completed 22 of 33 attempts for 293 yards and two touchdowns. His interception came at the wrong time as it ended the game for the Ducks.

Royce Freeman has been out with an injury (leg) and has been replaced by Tony Brooks-James and Kani Benoit. The two backs have split time in Freeman’s absence and have rushed for 441 yards on 63 carries to go along with eight touchdowns. Freeman has 325 yards on 37 carries with four touchdowns.

Darren Carrington II and Charles Nelson have been the keys in the passing game. Carrington II has 19 receptions for 280 yards and three touchdowns, and Nelson has supported with 18 receptions for 202 yards. Carrington II scored two touchdowns against Colorado. His first came on a 25-yard reception to pull Oregon within nine points. Carrington II second came on an 18-yard pass that put the Ducks up 38-33 and gave them the lead for the first time in the game.

Oregon will now play against the Washington Cougars in Washington and then take on #10 Washington at home.
