Oregon's mascot does 546 push-ups during season-opening shellacking of Portland State

Oregon's mascot had a busy afternoon during the Ducks' 81-7 blowout of Portland State on Saturday. The Duck did a total of 546 push-ups in between scores during the Week 1 home opener.

Oregon's 81 points were the most for the program in the modern era -- 73 of which were unanswered after giving up a touchdown early in the first quarter. The Ducks are the first FBS team to score at least 80 points in a game since UNLV beat Idaho State 80-8 on Sept. 26, 2015.

I saw some of the game replay. They traded touchdowns early and about halfway through the first quarter it was a respectable one-point game.

I'll be so glad when we're finally out of the first few garbage weeks of college ball.

...81 push-ups in one set!
The tradition is for every scoring play, the mascot does the number of push-ups as the number on the scoreboard.
So, his last 4 sets were 64, 67, 74, & 81 push-ups.
Not sure I ever could have done 81 push-ups without a break, let alone having already done 465 in the last 2&1/2 hours!
Makes me sore just thinking about it.

In the Army, push-ups were easily my weak point on PT tests. I still do them as they are excellent exercise. My body mass just doesn’t compute. I was a kicker in high school and looked it (6’) but I had to “make weight” in case I needed carry the ball for some reason.

Oregon scored - roughly - every 4-5 minutes of game time.
139 plays from scrimmage not including kicks.
Not a lot of passing either - 58 total.
