Friday night in Eugene was about more than the final score. Sure, the Oregon Ducks blasted the Portland State Vikings, 84-0, rebounding from an ugly loss the week prior, but was it enough to restore some confidence and faith in the nervous and frustrated fanbase?Dante Moore only needed one half of play to get back on track. He completed 19-of-23 passes for 280 yards and four touchdowns, connecting with nine different receivers. Jordon Davison punched in a pair of touchdowns early on, and the Ducks pulled away quickly.Some of Oregon’s highly touted freshmen got in on the action as well. Kendre Harrison made several blocks and catches from his tight end spot, even scoring his first touchdown. Messiah Hampton also scored his first two touchdowns, playing in place of the injured Jeremiah McClellan. Jett Washington and Davon Benjamin also combined for three interceptions.Take a look at the reaction on social media to Oregon’s dominant bounce-back victory over Portland State on Friday night.Coin TossPortland State won the toss and deferred.
