Recap

Oregon dominated this Pac-12 matchup from start to finish, establishing control early with Camden Lewis's field goal and Bo Nix's 49-yard touchdown pass to Chase Cota in the first quarter. The Ducks' ground game proved devastating throughout, with Bucky Irving and the Oregon rushing attack accumulating 351 yards and controlling the line of scrimmage. Stanford kept things competitive in the second half, with Tanner McKee connecting on two touchdown passes to Elijah Higgins and Casey Filkins to Higgins, but Oregon's explosive plays—including an 80-yard Nix touchdown run in the third quarter—proved too much to overcome. Despite Stanford's late scoring surge with Ari Patu's receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter, Oregon's balanced attack and early cushion were insurmountable, allowing the Ducks to retain the belt with the 45-27 victory.

Bo Nix's 49-yard TD pass to Chase Cota (Q1) -- established Oregon's early dominance
Oregon's ground game and three second-quarter TDs -- built a commanding lead that Stanford couldn't overcome
Bo Nix's 80-yard touchdown run (Q3) -- sealed the game with an explosive offensive play
Stanford's late-game scoring with Higgins and Patu TDs -- kept the game respectable but couldn't threaten Oregon's lead
