EUGENE, Ore. (AP)- Joey Harrington threw four touchdown passes and Maurice Morris ran for two more as Oregon rolled over Idaho 42-13 for its 16th straight home victory.
Oregon (2-1) scored six touchdowns and totaled 450 yards, as Harrington completed 14 of 21 passes for 173 yards. He left the game after the Ducks' first series of the second half.
Keenan Howry proved to be Harrington's favorite target, catching five passes for 101 yards and two touchdowns. Morris ran for 76 yards on 14 carries in the first half and was replaced by Allan Amundson in the second half.
Idaho quarterback John Welsh, who averaged 277.5 yards passing in the team's first two games, was sacked twice and held to 15 completions on 35 attempts for 186 yards and a touchdown.
Oregon scored on its first three possessions of the game to take a 21-0 first quarter lead. Morris scored first on a 1-yard run at the 8:35 mark, and Harrington followed with a 13-yard touchdown throw to Howry and a 20-yard pass to tight end Justin Peelle.
Idaho scored early in the second quarter, driving 92 yards in nine plays as Zack Gerstner scored from 1 yard out.
But in a span of 1:27, the Ducks scored a pair of touchdowns to put the game out of reach.
With 7:55 to go before halftime, Idaho attempted a fake punt from its own 23-yard line, but a pass from punter Ryan Downess sailed over the outstretched arms of linebacker Rick Giampietri.
Oregon needed only four plays to capitalize on the Vandals' mistake, as Morris leapt in from two yards out.
On the Vandals' ensuing possession, Alderson fumbled and defensive lineman Saul Patu recovered at the Idaho 39. Harrington then lofted a 39-yard pass to a wide-open Howry to put the Ducks on top 35-7 at the half.
Idaho tailback Willie Alderson rushed for one touchdown and 107 yards, including a 56-yard run in the third quarter that led to Idaho's second touchdown. Alderson also led the Vandals with four catches for 14 yards.
