In this story:

The Oregon Ducks are flying high after going on the road to defeat the Texas Tech Red Raiders 38-30 in Lubbock.

Quarterback Bo Nix led the Oregon offense as usual, throwing for more than 350 yards. But he also escaped a near disaster after almost throwing an interception in crunch time.

The defense forced four turnovers and the pass rush showed signs of life, getting home for four sacks against quarterback Tyler Shough

Big wins tend to favor teams in the polls, but that wasn't necessarily the case for Oregon after this weekend.
