Oregon geared up for an upcoming matchup against USC by bouncing back Friday night from their Week 2 upset by Oklahoma State.
Dante Moore and Dylan Raiola combined for seven touchdowns despite missing two top pass catchers as the Ducks responded to last weekend's loss with an 84-0 blowout of visiting Portland State.
Here's a look at the top performers from the largest blowout in Oregon's modern history .
NCAA rules on controversial Michigan play
Moore went 5-for-15 with 45 yards in the first half of last week's upset loss.
This time Oregon's starting quarterback connected with nine different targets to help the Ducks score seven times in two quarters.
Raiola made his Oregon debut in the second half and completed all 11 of his pass attempts with three touchdowns before the Ducks turned to third-stringer Akili Smith Jr.
The Ducks finished the win with 453 passing yards despite missing top wide receiver Jeremiah McClellan and star tight end Jamari Johnson to injury .
Oregon's defense picked off Portland State three times while holding the visitors to just two yards rushing and 101 yards through the air.
The Ducks had not scored 84 points in a game since 1916, but beating Portland State (0-4) alone won't be enough to help Oregon (2-1) recover from dropping 15 spots in the Week 2 AP Poll.
The ability of freshmen like wide receiver Messiah Hampton and tight end Kendre Harrison to step up for their injured teammates helped show off the depth of Oregon's offense, but the Ducks also lost Harrison to a potential injury in the third quarter.
Dan Lanning could hope to get some good news regarding the availability of McClellan, Johnson and Harrison before taking on the Ducks' highest-ranked opponent of the season so far in No. 12 USC next Saturday at 7:30 p.m. ET.
