Oregon just did something that might never have happened in 156 years of college football
PISCATAWAY, N.J. — In the birthplace of college football, Oregon might have accomplished something never seen before in the 156 years of the game.
A performance so dominant in its overall efficiency that it’s difficult to comprehend that two teams are playing at the same sport, let alone belong to the same conference.
The No. 8 Ducks gained 750 yards on just 60 plays, third-best in the FBS this season and most against a Power Four defense, in a 56-10 mauling of Rutgers that was not remotely that close.
The Scarlet Knights had just 202 yards, including a measly 79 in the air from one of the most potent passing attacks in the country. 
The 12.5 yards per play by Oregon is the second most in the Big Ten since at least 2000. It happened in the same game Oregon’s defense allowed just 2.93 yards, the Ducks best since Sept. 7, 2019 against Nevada. The gap is almost certainly the biggest in college football history.
