Ducks Open Willie Taggart Regime On High Note By Destroying FCS T-Birds

At Eugene, Oregon:

Tony Brooks-James got the ball rolling by returning the opening kickoff 100 for a touchdown while running back Royce Freeman ran for 150 yards and four touchdowns and fellow running back Kani Benoit ran for 107 more yards and three more scores as the Oregon Ducks opened the Willie Taggart era on Saturday night by annihilating the visiting Southern Utah Thunderbirds 77-21.

The FCS's Big Sky Conference's T-Birds were also opening their regular season.

The 77 points were the most points set by the Ducks since 1916, when they scored a school-record 97 points in blowing out (and shutting out) Willamette.
