7 major takeaways from Oregon's cathartic 49-21 blowout over Washington Huskies

I’m not sure that Bryce Boettcher will have many days in his life that top this one.
At one point on Saturday night, the kid from South Eugene was prancing around the sideline with his team during ‘Shout’, holding a 49-14 lead over his most hated rival. During the celebration, Boettcher showed off his athleticism with an impressive backflip during potentially his last-ever fourth-quarter celebration inside Autzen Stadium.
I asked Boettcher after the game if, in terms of peak life moments, anything would ever top that.
“That was definitely up there,” Boettcher said. “Maybe next week, or maybe down the road. I don’t know, having kids or something like that might be pretty cool.”
Maybe.
Boettcher ended with a game-high 11 tackles, including one sack, two tackles for loss, and one forced fumble. Statistically, it was one of the best games he’s had in his Oregon career. Emotionally, it will probably stack up as one of the days he will ever have in his life.
“It’s something I’m going to remember for a long time.”
