Oregon entered the contest without top wide receiver Dakorien Moore and tight end Kenyon Sadiq. Despite that, Ducks quarterback Dante Moore managed to pull off an incredibly clutch final drive to lead his team into field goal range. Great teams find a way to win, and that's what Dan Lanning and his squad did on Saturday.

With Iowa having a tough defense, coupled with the cold, rainy weather, throwing the ball wasn't the most efficient for either team in this one. Oregon relied heavily on the run game, as the offense rotated between three different running backs throughout the matchup. Moore even got his fair share of yards on the ground. As a team, the Ducks finished with 261 total rushing yards and a score on the ground.

Hopefully, Oregon gets healthy in the coming days. We'll see the Ducks in action once again in Week 12 when they take on the Minnesota Golden Gophers.
