Ducks lose 70-21

Oregon falls to Washington 70-21.

The 70 points are the most Oregon has allowed in a game since Dec. 6, 1941, the day before Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan. On that day, the Ducks allowed 71 points to Texas.

Browning having a huge day

Washington quarterback Jake Browning throws his sixth touchdown pass of the game to give the Huskies a 63-21 lead over the Ducks.

Taj Griffin again

Oregon running back Taj Griffin rushed for a touchdown to cut Washington's lead to 56-21 late in the third quarter.

Another TD pass for Jake Browning

Ducks turn it over again

Just when the offense was moving along, Royce Freeman fumbled the ball at the 6-yard line, and the Huskies recovered it.

Washington piles it on

Myles Gaskin rushed for a 65-yard touchdown to put the Huskies up 21-0.

Huskies add to lead

Jake Browning with a touchdown pass to John Ross to give Washington a 14-0 lead.

This is getting ugly fast for the Autzen faithful.

Blown coverage leads to touchdown

Washington took advantage of a blown coverage by Oregon's secondary for a big passing play, which set up a touchdown run by Huskies quarterback Jake Browning.

Poor start for Justin Herbert

On his first pass attempt as Oregon's starting quarterback, true freshman Justin Herbert threw an interception.

Justin Herbert officially announced as starter

True freshman Justin Herbert, from Sheldon High in Eugene, has been officially named the starter at quarterback for the Ducks today against the No. 5 Washington Huskies.

Justin Herbert's turn to drive the offense?

There have been reports all week that Oregon will start true freshman Justin Herbert at quarterback over graduate transfer Dakota Prukop.

The Ducks have denied that they've made that decision, but have acknowledged that it's possible.

We'll soon find out. Kickoff is in about 45 minutes.

Lots of purple

As expected, the Huskies traveled well to Autzen Stadium today.

No. 5 Washington is playing at Oregon today, after crushing Stanford last week, widely regarded as the best win for the Huskies in 25 years.

There is a ton of enthusiasm in Seattle for this team, so it's no surprise that you'll see purple all over the stadium, especially since the Ducks, losers of three straight, are way down this season.

Could the Oregon Ducks finish 0-9 in the Pac-12? You better believe it
