 Stanford Cardinal: 10 Oregon Ducks: 48 In a PAC 10 Conference clash, the Oregon Ducks crushed the Stanford Cardinals at Auzten Stadium on the opening day of the college football season. The game was high scoring which is expected in the PAC 10 since they have a history and reputation for high scoring shoot outs in the West. In this case, the Ducks quacked their way to an easy win. Quarterback David Dixon completed 18 of 27 passes and threw for 218 yards and 1 touchdowns in the win. Ducks running back Jonathan Stewart had a monster day gaining 161 rushing yards on 22 carries and 2 touchdowns. The Stanford Cardinals had several chances early in the game but either turned the ball over or did not capitalize on some mistakes made by the Oregon Ducks offense. The Oregon Ducks head to Fresno State to take on the Bulldogs on September 9th, 2006 and then return home to play the Oklahoma Sooners on September 16th, 2006 in a tough non conference match up.
