Oregonfootball continued its dominance during the 2024 college football season, with a first since 1992.
On Friday, the No. 2 Ducks shut out Purdue 35-0 at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana, to move to 7-0 and 3-0 in Big Ten play. There was no major letdown following a major top-3 victory over Ohio State in Week 7 for Oregon. The Ducks have positioned themselves for a potential No. 1 ranking, depending on the Texas-Georgia game’s outcome on Saturday.
The Boilermakers (1-6, 0-4 Big Ten) dropped their sixth consecutive game. Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 21 of 25 passes for 290 yards, two touchdowns, and an interception, while running back Jordan James added 10 rushes for 50 yards and two scores.
Oregon’s defense limited the Boilermakers to just 93 passing yards and 301 total yards for the game. Oregon finished with 421 total yards in the victory. The Ducks held a 21-0 halftime lead and never looked back against an overmatched Purdue team. Kam Alexander recorded an interception in the end zone from Purdue QB Ryan Browne in the waning moments to preserve the shutout for Oregon.
It was the first road shutout for the Ducks since a 7-0 victory over rival Oregon State on Nov. 21, 1992, in Corvallis, Oregon. Following the victory, the Ducks lead the all-time series 3-1 and are 2-1 against the Boilermakers on the road.
The Ducks take on No. 21 Illinois in Eugene, Oregon, next week, while Purdue will play host to Northwestern in its next game on Nov. 2, following a bye week.
