Shough appeared in three games as a true freshman, playing eight snaps before redshirting the rest of the season.[9][10] As a redshirt freshman, Shough served as the Ducks backup quarterback behind Justin Herbert.[11] He finished the season with 144 yards and three touchdowns in eight games played off the bench.[12][13] Head Coach Mario Cristobal says that Shough is anticipated to be the starting quarterback in the upcoming 2020 season.[14]
