What they’re saying nationally, in Provo after Oregon Ducks dominated BYU

No. 25 Oregon defeated No. 12 BYU, 41-20, at Autzen Stadium on Saturday.


The Ducks improved to 2-1 entering Pac-12 play and picked up their largest win over a ranked team during the regular season since beating 51-27 at No. 20 Utah on Nov. 8, 2014.


Here’s a roundup of what was written nationally and in Provo after the game:

“And so it was in Week 3 that Bo Nix emerged from the abyss -- for the 106th time in his career -- to deliver an emphatic Ducks win over BYU.” (ESPN)

“A decisive win at home against a ranked opponent was exactly what the Ducks needed to breathe enthusiasm back into the season. Their balanced offense (227 yards passing; 212 rushing) and strong run defense (61 yards allowed; 2.5 yards per carry) allowed this one to get out of hand early.” (ESPN)

“Oregon physically demolished BYU’s impressive front, rushing for 212 yards.” (CBSSports.com)

“No. 24 Oregon will regain some credibility and earn a place near the top of the Pac-12 power rankings after handing No. 14 Brigham Young a 41-20 loss.” (USA Today)

“Give Oregon credit for being the Bounce-Back Team of the Year to date. The Ducks were destroyed in the season opener by Georgia, 49–3, but that now looks more like a commentary on the Bulldogs’ prowess than a warning sign about Oregon.” (Sports Illustrated)

“Bo Nix is probably owed an apology this week. It’s possible that one season-opening game against No. 1 Georgia is not the best measurement of whether a quarterback might have a good year.” (The Athletic)

“Auburn fans know well the highs and lows of the Bo Nix Experience, and I’d expect it to be a similar ride the rest of the way.” (The Athletic)
