Oregon quarterback Justin Hebert and the offense may not be having its best half of football, but the quarterback did make some history in the first half.

Herbert became the fifth Duck quarterback to reach 3,000 yards passing in a season. Herbert did so in the first quarter pass to Dillon Mitchell for nine yards.

Herbert joins Marcus Mariota (2013, 2014), Akili Smith (1998), Danny O'Neil (1993) and Bill Musgrave (1989). He will not catch Musgrave, but will have difficulty matching the other's single-season accomplishments.

Earlier this month Herbert announced that he would be returning for his senior season in 2019 rather than enter the NFL Draft. Herbert had been considered a likely first round pick.
