Moore throws for 4 TD passe as No. 21 Oregon routs Portland State 84-0

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) --- Dante Moore threw for 280 yards and four touchdowns and
No. 21 Oregon followed a stunning upset at Oklahoma State last weekend with an
84-0 romp over Portland State on Friday night.
The victory, coach Dan Lanning's 50th in 59 games at Oregon (2-1) was the 40th
in the Ducks' nation-leading active nonconference home winning streak and the
third-largest margin of victory in school history.
Portland State (0-4) has lost seven consecutive games dating to its 1-11 2025
season.
Portland State quarterback Gabe Downing was 8 for 20 for 101 yards and threw
three second-half interceptions --- two to Ducks freshman Jett Washington.
Oregon freshman Messiah Hampton entered while junior receiver Jeremiah
McClellan, who led the Ducks in receiving yards through the first two games,
didn't play after warming up with the team. Hampton caught six passes for 71
yards and two touchdowns as Oregon built a 49-0 lead by halftime in what
amounted to a get-right game before it enters conference play next week with a
trip to No. 12 Southern California.
Oregon's opening salvo took just 3:12 --- an eight-play, 72-yard drive that
ended in the first of Jordon Davison's two touchdowns.
Davison finished with 81 yards and two touchdowns. Moore added a pair of long
passing touchdowns, one to an uncovered Dakorien Moore on a busted coverage,
and another down the sideline to Stewart to complete a 28-point first quarter.
Freshman tight end Kendre Harrison scored his first career touchdown on a
10-yard reception as Oregon rotated through its depth chart in the final three
quarters. Andrew Olesh, Brady Bidwell, Tradarian Ball and Brandon Smith also
scored their first collegiate touchdowns in the second half.
Up next
Oregon travels to Los Angeles to play No. 12 Southern California next Saturday,
while Portland State visits Weber State.
