With 138 rushing yards, JR RB Royce Freeman moved past Kenjon Barner into second on Oregon's all-time list with 3,664. The 100-yard rushing effort was the 19th of his career, also second all-time to LaMichael James (26, 2009-11).
Freeman's three touchdowns moved him into a tie for fourth on UO's all-time TD list with Derek Loville, who had 45 from 1986-89.
Freeman moved into ninth on the Ducks' career list for all-purpose yards with 4,217.
