10:39

BYU has its first back-to-back scores of the game, turning a Ben Bywater interception into points after Chris Brooks ran for a 2-yard touchdown. Oregon 38, BYU 20.

The Cougars went for 2 but couldn’t convert, and it’s an 18-point game.

14:05

BYU’s offense showed signs of life again, and ends a 55-yard drive with an 18-yard touchdown pass from Jaren Hall to Kody Epps. Oregon 38, BYU 14.

Epps’ first career touchdown ends 28 straight points from the Ducks.

Third quarter

8:21

Oregon made BYU pay for failing on a fourth down in its own territory, quickly driving for a 9-yard Terrance Ferguson touchdown catch. Oregon 38, BYU 7.

The rout is on after that four-play, 35-yard drive.

11:54

It’s like BYU’s run defense from last week was an anomaly.

Oregon drove right down the field on the opening possession of the third quarter and scored on a 6-yard touchdown run by Bo Nix — his third of the day — and the Ducks are rolling in Eugene. Oregon 31, BYU 7.

The Cougars are, well, rolling over.

Second quarter

0:24

This one may be over in Autzen: Oregon marched 79 yards in 13 plays and now leads by three scores after a 15-yard Terrance Ferguson touchdown with under 30 seconds until halftime. Oregon 24, BYU 7.

The Ducks converted a fourth-down play in BYU territory on that drive and is just dominating this Cougar defense — that’s four scores on four possessions for Oregon.

5:57

BYU drove into Oregon territory, but the Cougars can’t capitalize after Jake Oldroyd missed a 38-yard field goal.

That’s a costly missed opportunity following a 52-yard drive.

11:44

Oregon scored yet again, this time on another 2-yard Bo Nix run, as the Ducks have put up points on all three of their possessions thus far. Oregon 17, BYU 7.

A brilliant leaping 50-yard catch from Troy Franklin set up the short touchdown run for Oregon.

14:53

BYU responded with a nice drive, scoring on a 28-yard Isaac Rex touchdown pass on the first play of the second quarter. Oregon 10, BYU 7.

That capped a 10-play, 75-yard drive, a much-needed score for the Cougars after a terrible first quarter.

Even with the rough start, Jaren Hall is having a good game. He completed 4 of 4 passes for 46 yards on the scoring drive and had a QB keeper for 6 yards.

First quarter

4:26

Oregon extended a disastrous start for BYU, as the Ducks drove 39 yards in seven plays before capping their second drive with a 28-yard Camden Lewis field goal. Oregon 10, BYU 0.

This drive was aided by a BYU special teams penalty and a pass interference call. The Cougars look rattled early in this one.

10:21

Oregon marched right through the Cougar defense on its first drive, and Bo Nix scored on a 2-yard keeper to give the Ducks the early lead after a four-play, 64-yard scoring drive. Oregon 7, BYU 0.

The Ducks had a pair of chunk plays — of 26 and 36 yards — on the drive after struggling to move the ball in chunks in their first two games.

BYU failed to convert a fourth-and-7 inside the Oregon 40 on its opening drive, giving Oregon solid field position for its first possession.
