Herbert has 2 TDs
in Oregon’s 45-3
win over Colorado

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. Gavin Stone
