Dan Lanning and the Ducks dropped their first game in conference play on the season and move to 8-2 overall, 7-1 in the Pac-12.
Saturday's loss was the first game the Ducks scored under 40 points since the season opener against the Georgia Bulldogs. Oregon's offense was stout against the run, allowing just 114 rushing yards--but they got shredded through the air, as Michael Penix Jr. put up 408 passing yards on 35 throws and two touchdowns.
The secondary got beat deep twice, with long passing touchdowns to Ja'Lynn Polk and Taj Davis. Oregon didn't register a sack and struggled to get off the field, allowing the Huskies to convert five-of-nine third downs and not forcing a single punt.
