i dont recall any delay of game penalties because of the noise? and the O offense didnt seem to be rattled.
 
The ducks line up with around 30 seconds on the play clock. Won't see many delays when you have that much time.
 
I saw some issues the first half including several motion penalties by jumpy linemen. The crowd was a factor.
 
With the number of hand signals and silent counts the crowd noise factor is virtually eliminated. Even audibles are hand signals either from the QB or the sidelines. The one advantage the defense gains is snap count. With silent counts, the offense and the defense are both going on ball movement. With voice cadence the offense could get that extra time knowing the count.
 
Delay of game penalties are only one outcome of a loud crowd. I think you could see he was a bit more amped up late when the crowd was really making noise and likely got into his head a bit, although I'll say for it being his first real experience in a hostile environment, he held up very well. I think he was a nice pick-up for Oregon and they will win their share of PAC 12 games.

Not sure which lineman, but there was one who missed a few calls and kept having to look over for the count and play.
