The Golden Gophers were held to 200 total yards, 62 of those rushing.Quarterback Drake Lindsey threw for 138 yards with a touchdown, but lost 28 yards running the ball (thanks primarily to two Oregon sacks).It was a different story for Oregon’s ground game as the Ducks ran for 179 and four touchdowns on 30 carries, as well.The Ducks started fast, scoring touchdowns on their first two possessions of the game. Two long completions from Moore to Malik Benson and Sadiq set up Oregon at the Gophers’ 1-yard line.
