EUGENE, Ore. -- — Quarterback Bo Nix said the Ducks did what they needed to do in their home opener, even if it wasn't much of a contest.
“I thought we went out and executed what we were supposed to do, scored a lot of points, we were consistent. We didn't make any mistakes, we didn't beat ourselves,” Nix said. “I thought it was a very clean game.” Dante Chachere threw for 35 yards and the lone touchdown for Portland State, which plays in the Big Sky conference. Chachere also ran for 53 yards.
On Oregon's opening drive, Nix tossed a 13-yard pass to Franklin, who shook off a defender and muscled his way into the endzone. The two-point conversion was good. Oregon, which had an average of more than 500 yards and 38.8 points per game last season, had 427 yards on offense in the first half alone. The Ducks finished with 744 total yards.
The Ducks, who will be departing the Pac-12 in 2024 and joining the Big Ten, went 10-3 overall and 7-2 in the Pac-12 last season. Oregon climbed to No. 6 in the AP Top 25, but a pair of late losses to Washington and Oregon State kept Oregon out of the playoff picture. The Ducks rallied in the fourth quarter to win the Holiday Bowl 28-27 over North Carolina.
