College Football World Stunned by Oregon’s Blowout Win Over Colorado

Bo Nix and No. 10 Oregon made a statement on Saturday, routing No. 19 Colorado 42-6 in Eugene.

The eyes of the college football world were on Eugene, Oregon, on Saturday afternoon as No. 19 Colorado faced its toughest test of the young season against No. 10 Oregon.

However, observers who were hoping for a competitive matchup came away disappointed after the Ducks (4-0) raced out to a 35-point halftime lead en route to a 42-6 victory.

It was a humbling setback for the Buffaloes (3-1), who had captivated fans nationwide with as much swagger as any team in recent memory. The result also provided validation for the Ducks, who clearly took the Buffs’ challenge seriously.

Despite the Ducks’ being favored by three touchdowns by oddsmakers, the college football world wasn’t expecting such a lopsided score.

Sports figures and pundits weighed in afterward on social media, and here are some of the best reactions:
