Eighth-ranked Oregon rebounded from its first regular season loss in two years, rolling over Rutgers 56-10 Saturday night in Piscataway, N.J.

The Ducks (6-1 overall, 3-1 Big Ten) put up 653 yards of total offense after three quarters and 750 for the game, with quarterback Dante Moore completing 15 of 20 passes for 290 yards with four touchdowns and an interception.

It was the first-ever meeting between the two teams.

The Ducks’ ground attack, held below 100 yards against Indiana last week, exploded for 415 on Saturday. Noah Whittington led the way with 11 carries for 125 yards and two scores, plus a receiving touchdown, and Jordon Davison ran for 100 yards on just three carries.

One of those was a 20-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter, giving the Ducks a 49-3 lead.

Running back Dierre Hill Jr. added a touchdown run as Oregon hit the Scarlet Knights for several explosive plays in the win. Hill ran right, then turned upfield and through several defenders for a 35-yard touchdown to make it 56-3.

Tight end Kenyon Sadiq caught four passes for 80 yards, two for touchdowns, and wide receiver Dakorien Moore added 63 yards on two catches, including a touchdown.

Whittington set the tone for the Ducks, who trailed 3-0 early in the game after losing a fumble. On Oregon’s first possession, Whittington took a handoff, ran left toward the sideline and scampered away from four defenders to go 68 yards for his team’s first touchdown.

Rutgers (3-4, 0-4) got a rushing touchdown from Ja’shon Benjamin late in the game. Benjamin led the Scarlet Knights with 69 yards in 18 carries.

Quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis was 8 for 25 for 79 yards and threw two interceptions.

Both teams turned the ball over three times, but Oregon had 29 first downs to 12 for Rutgers and the Ducks were 8 of 11 on third down.
