Oregon’s football team showcased their strength once again in the 2024 college football season, marking a first since 1992.

This past Friday, the No. 2 Ducks achieved a commanding 35-0 shutout against Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium in West Lafayette, Indiana. With this win, they improved to 7-0 and 3-0 in Big Ten competition. The Ducks didn’t falter after their top-3 victory over Ohio State in Week 7. Their performance could even lead them to a potential No. 1 ranking, depending on Saturday’s outcome between Texas and Georgia.

The Boilermakers, with a record of 1-6 and 0-4 in Big Ten play, suffered their sixth consecutive loss. Oregon quarterback Dillon Gabriel completed 21 out of 25 passes for 290 yards, recorded two touchdowns, and had one interception, while running back Jordan James added 10 carries for 50 yards and two touchdowns.

Oregon’s defense was stellar, restricting Purdue to just 93 passing yards and 301 total yards throughout the contest. Oregon finished the game with a total of 421 yards. They held a commanding 21-0 lead at halftime and maintained control for the rest of the match. Defensive back Kam Alexander intercepted a pass from Purdue QB Ryan Browne in the end zone in the closing moments, securing the shutout for the Ducks.

This shutout marked Oregon’s first road shutout since a 7-0 win over rival Oregon State on November 21, 1992, in Corvallis, Oregon. With this victory, the Ducks lead their all-time series 3-1 and are 2-1 against the Boilermakers in away games.

Next week, the Ducks will face No. 21 Illinois in Eugene, Oregon, while Purdue will prepare to host Northwestern after a bye week on November 2.
