Oct. 14, 2017

SR RB Royce Freeman moved past USC's Marcus Allen (4,810) and into fourth place on the Pac-12's all-time rushing list. Freeman finished with 18 carries for 143 yards to give him 4,943 in his career. He now sits 101 yards behind OSU's Ken Simonton for third in the conference annals.
Freeman tied LaMichael James (2009-11) for the most 100-yard rushing games in UO history at 26.
Freeman's 59-yard run in the first quarter was his longest of the season.
JR DE Jalen Jelks had a game-high 2.5 tackles for loss. Jelks has TFLs in four straight games and leads the team with 10.5 on the year.
The Ducks failed to record a sack for the first time this season. Oregon came into the game leading the nation with an average of 4.0 per contest.
FR CB Deommodore Lenoir made the first interception of his career, picking off a 1st and goal pass in the end zone during the second quarter.
SO LB Troy Dye had a game-high 10 tackles, eclipsing double-digit tackles for the second straight week and ninth time in his career.
JR WR Taj Griffin had the first two kickoff returns of his career, totaling 28 yards.
Older brother SR CB Ty Griffin also returned a kickoff for the first time, a 27-yarder in the second half.
SR DL Scott Pagano made his first start as the Ducks opened the game with four down linemen.
SR WR Charles Nelson returned to the starting lineup after missing the last three games. He rushed one time for five yards.
SO WR Dillon Mitchell returned to the starting lineup after missing the previous game.
Oregon passed for fewer than 100 yards (33 yards on 5-of-13 attempts) for the first time since amassing 48 in a win at Arizona State on Oct. 16, 2012.
Stanford's Bryce Love had the longest run against the Ducks this season on a 67-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The last player to score vs. UO on a run of 50+ yards was the Cardinal's Christian McCaffrey on Nov. 12, 2016.
Stanford scored a touchdown on a return of a blocked punt in the second quarter, the first such score allowed by the Ducks since the Cardinal accomplished the feat Oct. 1, 2005.
The Cardinal have now won the last two games in the series and improved to 48-32-1 all-time against the Ducks, although UO has won 12 of the last 18 meetings, dating to 1998.
SR LT Tyrell Crosby and SR RG Jake Pisarcik, both starters, left the game due to undisclosed injuries and did not return after halftime.
The Ducks 17 combined points over the past two games is their lowest total since scoring 13 points during a two-game stretch from Nov. 14-21, 1992.
