PAC-12 ROUNDUP

No. 23 Oregon 62, Portland State 14: Justin Herbert threw for 250 yards and four touchdowns before heading to the bench in the third quarter for host Oregon.

It was the 22nd straight non-conference win for the Ducks (2-0). Herbert, who completed 20 of 26 passes against the Vikings, now has 10 total touchdowns – nine passing and one on the ground – in two games so far this season.

Portland State (0-2) has lost 15 consecutive games dating to 2016, including eight straight on the road. The FCS-level Vikings went 0-11 last season and have allowed 134 total points in their two games this year.

Portland State quarterback Jalani Eason threw for 111 yards and two touchdowns, but he was also sacked four times by Oregon’s defense. Charlie Taumoepeau caught five passes for 125 yards and both TDs for his second-straight game with more than 100 yards receiving.

Herbert hit different receivers with each of his touchdowns. Tony Brooks-James ran for 107 yards and two scores, while freshman CJ Verdell ran for 106 yards and another TD.

Herbert also led the Ducks’ offense efficiently in a 58-24 victory over Bowling Green last week, passing for 281 yards and five touchdowns and running for 41 yards and another score.

Houston 45, Arizona 18: Houston quarterback D’Eriq King threw for four touchdowns and rushed for one as the Cougars beat visiting Arizona.

King finished with 246 passing and 27 rushing yards while Houston improved to 2-0 on the season.

King connected with Marquez Stevenson on a 24yard TD pass, scored on a 1-yard run, then hit tight end Romello Brooker for a 52-yard score and a 21-0 Houston lead after one quarter.

Arizona, playing uphill the rest of the game, never recovered.

UH scored two more times before halftime – on a 35-yard field goal from Dalton Witherspoon and on King’s 13-yard pass to Bryson Smith for a 31-0 lead.
