EUGENE, Ore. – For the third time this season, Oregon senior quarterback Justin Herbert is a Davey O'Brien Great 8 performer after leading the Ducks to an impressive 56-24 win at USC last Saturday.
Herbert completed 21-of-26 passes for 225 yards and three touchdowns while rushing for another TD in the win. The Ducks' signal caller connected on 20 of his final 21 passes, while completing 14 consecutive passes at one point.
