When the Oregon offense is clicking the way it did for much of Friday night, it seems like the only thing that can stop the Ducks is themselves. And that did happen against California in Levi’s Stadium, as Oregon committed two turnovers and punted on three straight drives in the second half. But on the Ducks’ first 11 possessions they scored eight times and punted just once, allowing the UO football team to win a shootout with the Golden Bears, 59-41. Oregon improved to 7-1 overall and 4-1 in the Pac-12, maintaining its lead in the Pac-12’s North Division. The Ducks have won three straight since their lone loss of the season. The Ducks return home and kick off their November stretch run by hosting Stanford next Saturday in Autzen Stadium (4:30 p.m. PT, FOX).

The Beavers (4-3 overall, 1-3 Pac-12) were held to 221 yards by the Cardinal (5-3, 3-2 Pac-12), who lead the conference in total defense. Stanford won its fifth straight game in the series.
