Oregon football moves to 2-0 for the season with a come-from-behind 43-29 win against Washington State behind Tyler Shough’s performance.

The No. 11 Oregon Ducks move to 2-0 for the season with a come-from-behind 43-29 win against Washington State behind Tyler Shough’s performance.

Washington State, fresh off a 38-28 win against Oregon State, could not pull off the same feat against the Beavers’ in-state counterpart. As odd as it sounds, tonight the Ducks won only their second game against the Cougars in six tries — 2019’s 37-35 win against the Cougars had broken a four-game Oregon losing streak in the series.

Oregon fell behind early, trailing 19-7 just moments before halftime, but the Ducks stormed back behind a dominant third-quarter performance before putting the game away in the final period. The Ducks, behind 581 yards of total offense, managed to overcome three turnovers (compared to the Cougars’ zero) to pull out the win.

Ducks quarterback Tyler Shough finished Saturday night’s contest by completing 21-of-30 passes for 312 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception. He completed a pass to eight different receivers and remained composed despite falling behind early.

Here are three key takeaways from the Ducks’ win against the Cougars:
