​Oregon wasn’t looking for perfection against Portland State. Nor was it looking to break any records.The fact that the No. 18 Ducks nearly accomplished the former while also pocketing several all-time program bests was just a bonus on a night Oregon needed a positive performance and above all else, a victory.Six days after a crushing loss to Oklahoma State sent the Ducks into a week of soul searching and problem solving, they responded by thumping the Vikings 84-0 Sept. 18 at Autzen Stadium.It was the most points scored and the largest margin of victory in the modern era for the Ducks. The previous best in both categories came in an 81-7 win against Portland State in 2023.“Obviously the result of this game is somewhat to be expected,” said Oregon coach Dan Lanning, who earned his 50th career win. “We have a better team, and no disrespect for Portland State, but that’s the way it should look when you execute the way we’re supposed to execute.”The win – which came against a winless team from the Football Championship Subdivision – didn’t magically cure all that ails Oregon (2-1), though it does give the Ducks some positive momentum heading into its Big Ten Conference opener against No. 11 USC in Los Angeles next Saturday.“They enjoyed this win … but hungry for what’s next and what’s in front of us,” Lanning said. “Obviously, got a really competitive USC team that’s got talent across the board.
