MONDAY, OCTOBER 14, 2019 BAKER CITY HERALD — 7A BAKER CROSS-COUNTRY Boys 2nd, girls 3rd at La Grande By Ronald Bond The (La Grande) Observer PAC-12 FOOTBALL Herbert has 2 TDs in Oregon’s 45-3 win over Colorado By Anne M. Peterson AP Sports Writer PORTLAND — Quar- terback Justin Herbert said the No. 13 Oregon Ducks focused all week on a more balanced attack. They saw results on Friday night. Herbert threw for 261 yards and two touchdowns, while Cyrus Habibi-Likio rushed for three more, and Oregon beat Colorado 45-3 on Friday night for its fi fth straight victory. “We talked about starting fast and moving the ball, and that’s something we did today,” Herbert said. “We got the ball spread around and guys made plays. It was fun to watch.” Jaylon Redd rushed for a touchdown and caught a pass for another score for the Ducks (5-1, 3-0) who are 3-0 to open Pac-12 play for the fi rst time since 2013. CJ Verdell rushed for 171 yards and the Ducks fi nished with 527 yards offense, including a season-best 288 on the ground. Oregon has not dropped a game since the season opener against Auburn. Steven Montez threw for 131 yards for Colorado (3-3, 1-2) but he was intercepted four times on four consecu- tive drives. It is the second straight loss for the Buf- faloes, whose three points were the fewest they’ve scored in a game since they were shutout by Washing- ton State in 2017. “Guys are frustrated. Guys want to win,” said Colorado coach Mel Tucker. “The answer is in the simple truths. That’s what I told them. We’ve got to take time on the way back to look within ourselves to get there.” Colorado receiver Laviska Shenault Jr. was day-to-day going into the game but he started and fi nished with four catches for 70 yards. He strained a core muscle against Arizona State on Sept. 21 and missed last weekend’s loss to Arizona. Herbert was 18 of 32 with two touchdowns, bringing his total to 17 TDs this season. His string of games with a touchdown pass is the longest nationally among active players. He credited the defense for the victory: “When they play like that it makes our job so much easier.” The Ducks scored on their opening drive on Her- bert’s 7-yard scoring pass to Jacob Breeland. It was the tight end’s sixth touchdown reception of the season. But Breeland was injured late in the fi rst quarter when he was tackled after catching a 22-yard pass from Herbert, and he limped to Oregon’s medical tent on the sideline. He later emerged with a brace on his left leg and did not return. LA GRANDE — Baker’s Kale Cassidy fi nished third in the individual standings and was one of three Bulldogs in the top 10 as Baker fi nished second in the La Grande In- vitational cross-country meet on a windy Friday at the La Grande Country Club. On the girls side Baker’s Sydney Keller fi nished third, and the Bulldogs placed third in the team standings. Wallowa County claimed both the individual and team titles in the girls and boys meets. Wallowa County, with Henry Coughlan winning the individual title and Zac Knapp second, had 38 points as a team, and Baker scored 43. Coughlan pulled away from Knapp about midway through the race and fi nished with a time of 16:28, with Knapp following in 16:51. The third Wallowa County runner to cross the line, Bayden Menton, fi nished in sixth. Wallowa County rounded out with two more in the top 15 with John Mat- thews (14th) and Brenden Moore (15th). It was just enough to edge Baker, which also had three top-10 fi nishers — led by Cas- sidy (17:03) in third — and all fi ve in the top 15.
