Oregon was out and winging against Deion Sanders and Colorado on Saturday.
The Ducks led 13-0 late in the first quarter thanks to a pair of touchdowns.
On the second scoring drive, they got help from the Buffaloes who were called for a personal foul on a play that would have set up up a fourth down and then were offsides later in the drive.
The touchdown play that made the lead double digits saw Bo Nix look like was going to run before throwing a pass to Casey Kelly, who bulled his way into the end zone.

Oregon tried for two off its swinging-gate formation but the pass was incomplete.
