Hard fall back to earth for Nevada against Oregon
Nevada football’s season opener magic didn’t carry over in a 77-6 blowout loss to the No. 16 ranked Oregon Ducks on Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
The Wolf Pack scored the first points of the game and trailed 7-6 with just under nine minutes left in the second quarter, but the Ducks took over the rest of the way with 63 unanswered points over the remainder of the first half and final two quarters.
Oregon rattled off 623 total yards and held a commanding lead the rest of the way. The Ducks attacked Nevada’s 3-3-5 zone defense early with a dominant air attack from the arm of senior quarterback and Heisman Trophy candidate Justin Herbert.
