DOUBLE DIGITS DURING THE DECADE • Oregon has won at least 12 games during the 2010s four times, one of the only three programs to do so (Alabama, Ohio State 5). • The Ducks are also one of only six programs to win at least 11 games in five seasons during the decade and one of 12 with at least five 10-win seasons during the decade. • The Ducks have finished in the top five in scoring offense nationally in six of the last seven years and in the top 10 in eight of the last nine years. • Oregon has been ranked in the top 25 in at least one poll for 20 consecutive seasons since 1998. APPLE GREEN TURNOVER • Since 2010, Oregon leads FBS in turnover margin per game, averaging +0.76 per game (Oklahoma State +0.63, LSU +0.61). • Oregon has forced at least one turnover in 90 games this decade, the fourth-highest total during that time. • The Ducks have forced two-plus turnovers in 67 games this decade, the most in the nation. • UO has forced an average of 2.14 turnovers per game in the last eight seasons, trailing only Houston (2.24) and Oklahoma State (2.16) in FBS. • The Ducks lead the nation in points off turnovers per game since 2010 (9.10). FIVE ALIVE • Oregon scored nine touchdowns vs. Oregon State, the 82nd time since 2010 the Ducks have scored five or more TDs in one game, the highest total in the nation during that time span (Baylor 64, Oklahoma 64). PROJECT ELEVATE • The uniform worn by the Ducks vs. Nebraska was perhaps the most inspiring and important in team history. • Three childhood cancer survivors, Ethan Frank, Joe MacDonald, and Sophia Malinoski, teamed with Nike designers and three Duck football players (Tyrell Crosby, Justin Hollins and Khalil Oliver) on this project, which was known as “Project Elevate.” • Ethan, Joe, and Sophia were all in attendance at the game, and all received game balls from the team in the locker room following the game.

passes for 1,936 yards and 19 touchdowns with just four interceptions. Herbert cracked the top 10 in a pair of singleseason all-time lists for the Ducks last year. He completed 63.5 percent of his passes to tie Marcus Mariota (2013) for fourth on the singleseason list. His 148.75 passing efficiency ranked ninth all-time at Oregon. Oregon’s single-game records haven’t been safe with Herbert behind center. The freshman set or tied three different single-game records during his first season. In just his second career start at California, Herbert threw six touchdown passes to tie an Oregon single-game best. His six TDs matched Vernon Adams Jr. (vs. USC in 2015), Marcus Mariota (at California in 2012), Darron Thomas (vs. Nevada in 2011), Joey Harrington twice (vs. Arizona State in 2001 and at Arizona State in 2000) and Danny O’Neil (vs. Stanford in 1994).

Herbert also totaled 512 total yards against ASU to set a new Oregon record. Herbert’s 12 TD passes in his first three starts (UW, Cal, ASU) matched the most ever by a Duck quarterback in a three-game stretch. Herbert connected on two TDs against Washington in his first-ever start, before matching the single-game school record with six touchdown passes at Cal and then throwing four in the win over Arizona State. Herbert tied both Marcus Mariota (201214) who threw 12 TDs in three games in 2012, and Joey Harrington (1998-01) who tossed 12 TDs in three games in 2000. Herbert also ranks in a tie for fourth on the list with his 11 touchdowns in games against Cal, Arizona State and USC.

POINTS IN A HURRY • Of Oregon’s 56 drives for touchdowns in 2017, 32 (57.1 percent) lasted two minutes or less. Ten more took three minutes or less, while the longest drive lasted 6 minutes and 3 seconds, covered 75 yards on 15 plays, and was capped by a Braxton Burmeister seven-yard TD run at UCLA. EXPLOSION PLAYS • A staple of Oregon’s blur offense in recent years has been “explosion plays” of 25 yards or more from scrimmage. Oregon has had 47 through the end of the regular season, with eight resulting in touchdowns. Oregon finished the 2016 season with 48 explosion plays with 19 going for touchdowns. 68 - Benoit rush vs. CAL* 59 - Freeman rush at STAN 56 - Brooks-James rush vs. UTAH 53 - Mitchell rec. vs. OSU (Herbert)* 51 - Breeland rec. at ASU (Herbert) 51 - Johnson III rec. vs. NEB (Herbert) 50 - Johnson III rec vs. ARIZ (Herbert) 50 - Freeman rec. at WYO (Herbert) 50 - Nelson rec. vs. SUU (Herbert) 49 - Redd rec. vs. OSU (Herbert) 47 - Benoit rush vs. OSU* 46 - Nelson rec. vs. ARIZ 42 - Nelson rec. vs. NEB (Herbert) 40 - Herbert rush vs. ARIZ* 39 - Breeland rec. vs. ARIZ (Herbert)* 39 - Schooler rec. vs. WSU (Burmeister) 38 - Freeman rush vs. UTAH 38 - Mitchell rec. vs. NEB (Herbert) 38 - Brooks-James rec. vs. SUU (Alie) 37 - Schooler rec. vs. CAL (Herbert)* 17

The Ducks have racked up 617 touchdowns since the beginning of 2010 with 319, the second most in the nation, of them coming on running plays. • Oregon is tied for fourth in the country in rushing TDs with 40 this season. • Arizona, Florida Atlantic and Army rank ahead of the Ducks. Ohio and Clemson are tied with Oregon. • Arizona leads the country with 48 rushing TDs. DUCKS HAVE FOURTH-MOST TD PASSES SINCE 2010 SEASON • When it comes to finding the end zone through the air, almost nobody has been better than Oregon since 2010.

Last season, Oregon had 28 TD passes. The Ducks have 16 this year. DUCKS SCORE IN ALL FACETS OF GAME • If the Ducks aren’t scoring on offense, they’re probably finding the end zone on defense or special teams. Oregon is tied for fourth in the country in non-offensive TDs since 2010 with 40. JR KR Tony Brooks-James gave Oregon an early addition to the list scoring on the season’s opening kickoff against Southern Utah. DB JR Ugochukwu Amadi added a defensive TD against Utah when he returned a fumble 47 yards for a touchdown. JR OLB Justin Hollins Las Vegas Bowl Media Guide | 2017 | Oregon vs. Boise State

DEFENSIVE GAME NOTES SWAIN SETS SEASON MARK • SR "MIKE" LB Jimmie Swain led Ducks with a game-high and career-high 13 tackles Week 10 at Washington - the highest single-game total by an Oregon defender this season. • Swain joined SO ILB Troy Dye and SO "DUCK" LB La'Mar Winston Jr. as the only double-digit tacklers for the Ducks this season. WINSTON BREAKS OUT • SO "DUCK" LB La'Mar Winston Jr. led the team with a career-high 11 tackles Week 8 at UCLA. The Portland native, making his third straight start and fourth overall this season, nearly quadrupled his previous career mark of three, achieved five times previously. SACK TOWN USA • The Ducks have recorded 32 sacks on the season and rank fourth in the Pac-12 and tied for 15th nationally with 2.91 per game. • UO's seven sacks vs. Cal in Week 5 were the third-most by a Pac-12 team this season and most by UO since hitting the same number Oct. 10, 2015 vs. Washington State. • 10 Ducks have recorded at least one sack this season, led by JR DE Jalen Jelks (6.5) and SR OLB Jonah Moi (5.5). HAVE A DAY, JALEN JELKS • JR DE Jalen Jelks put on a career performance Week 4 at Arizona State, setting personal bests with team-highs of nine tackles, 3.0 sacks and 5.0 tackles for loss. • Jelks' sacks resulted in 13 yards lost by the Sun Devils and his TFLs totaled 20 yards lost. • The three sacks by the Phoenix native were the most by an Oregon player since Nick Reed (2005-08) had 3.0 at Oregon State on Nov. 29, 2008. • Jelks' five tackles for loss were the most by a Duck since Reed had 5.0 on Nov. 3, 2007, also against the Sun Devils. • Jelks leads all defensive interior players nationally with 46 total quarterback pressures, according to Pro Football Focus. MOI WREAKING HAVOC • SR OLB Jonah Moi has made the most of his increased playing time and part-time starting role in DC Jim Leavitt's defense, accounting for at least a portion of a sack in six of the 11 games he's played in this season. PARTY IN THE BACKFIELD • One of the major themes of the Ducks' defensive play this season has been getting pressure in the opposing backfield, led by senior outside linebackers Justin Hollins and Jonah Moi off the edge, junior interior lineman Jalen Jelks, and sophomore inside 'backer Troy Dye. • All four have at least one tackle for loss in the majority of all games played. • Combined, the quartet has 46.5 of the team's total of 88 TFLs. • By comparison, Oregon had 61 TFLs as a team in 12 games last season. • Jelks leads the way with 15 TFLs and 6.5 sacks. Moi is second on the squad in sacks at 5.5, and Hollins has 10.5 TFLs, 2.5 sacks and three forced fumbles.
19
SPRINGS MOVING UP TOP 10 • SR CB Arrion Springs has moved into the Ducks’ career top 10 list for pass breakups and ranks fourth in the FBS this season with 17. • The fourth-year cornerback from San Antonio now ranks fourth in school history with 41 career breakups. • He had a pair in both the season opener vs. Southern Utah and Pac-12 opener at Arizona State, and tied his career-high twice with three in Week 2 vs. Nebraska and three more in Week 9 vs. Utah. He also had multiple PBUs Week 12 vs. Arizona. • Springs is currently the top-rated defensive back in the Pac-12, according to Pro Football Focus. DUCKS STUFF THE RUN • The Oregon defense is coming off an irregular year that saw the Ducks surrender more than 200 rushing yards per game for the first time in 30 years. But after 12 games this season, that regression was clearly an outlier. • In Week 1 vs. Southern Utah, Oregon held the Thunderbirds to 99 yards on 38 attempts for an average of 2.6 yards per carry. • It marked the first time the Ducks have limited an opponent to less than 100 yards rushing since holding UC Davis to 89 yards Sept. 3, 2016. • Oregon bettered that mark in Week 5, holding Cal to just eight rushing yards on 29 attempts for an average of 0.3 ypc. That was the stingiest effort by UO's rushing defense since limiting Washington State to two yards on Oct. 19, 2013. • The Ducks’ 2017 run defense has allowed more than 142 yards in a game only three times. • UO limited Arizona to 171 rushing yards in Week 12, which was 176.7 yards less than the Wildcats' season average. • Capping the regular season, the Ducks gave up just 98 yards in holding Oregon State to 2.7 yards per carry in Week 13. • The Ducks held opponents under 100 yards five times on the season. • For the year, opponents averaged 3.6 yards per carry, compared to 5.7 in 2016. D-BOYS REPRISE? • The collective effort of the 2017 Ducks’ defensive backfield has brought back memories of the days when the eventual NFL quartet of Jairus Byrd, Patrick Chung, Walter Thurmond III and T.J. Ward patrolled Pac-12 stadiums in the mid 2000s. • The Ducks rank fifth the country in passes defended (76) and sixth in breakups (63). • SR CB Arrion Springs has a team-high 17 breakups - good for fourth in the FBS - while JR CB Ugochukwu Amadi has 11 passes defended, and FR CBs Thomas Graham Jr. and Deommodore Lenoir have seven and six, respectively. • Oregon ranks tied for 35th nationally in interceptions (13), with DBs responsible for 10 of them. • Amadi and Graham have three picks apiece, while Lenoir, SR S Tyree Robinson, FR S

DEFENSIVE GAME NOTES Brady Breeze and SR CB Ty Griffin have nabbed the others. TRUE TEST • Of Oregon’s 13 true freshmen to play this season, seven have seen action on the defensive side of the ball, including nose guards Austin Faoliu (2 starts) and Jordon Scott (10 starts). • FR CB Thomas Graham Jr. (11 starts) leads all newcomers and ranks third on the team with 54 tackles, followed by Scott with 30 and FR S Nick Pickett (3 starts) with 21. • FR CB Deommodore Lenoir has contributed 22 tackles, one interception and five pass breakups. Faoliu has 18 stops, a sack and forced fumble, and FR S Billy Gibson has six tackles. • The Ducks had three true freshman starters on D in wins against Nebraska and Wyoming, and the loss at Arizona State. • ILB Sampson Niu became the latest true freshman to play in 2017, seeing action on defense and special teams in Week 6 vs. Washington State. • Niu as five tackles in five games played.
•
•
to less than 183 was Sept. 4, 2010 vs. New Mexico (107). The Ducks held their final two opponents of the regular season under 160 passing yards, allowing 159 to Arizona in Week 12 and 113 to Oregon State a week later. Arizona State was UO's lone opponent to pass for more than 300 yards in 2017, throwing for 347 in Week 4.
DYE ONE OF THREE TRUE FRESHMEN IN NATION TO LEAD TEAM IN TACKLES • SO ILB Troy Dye was in rare company when it came to true freshmen leading their teams in tackles in 2016. The Norco, Calif., native was one of just three first-year players in the country to lead their team in tackles. • Dye was joined by Josiah Tauaefa (UTSA) and Jordyn Brooks (Texas Tech). True Freshmen Leading Tacklers (2016) Name Team Tackles Josiah Tauaefa UTSA 115 Troy Dye Oregon 91 Jordyn Brooks Texas Tech 86
HOLLINS IMPRESSIVE STREAK ENDS AT 10 • JR OLB Justin Hollins’ streak of consecutive games recording a tackle for loss ended at 10, when he came up empty in Week 6 vs. Washington State. His TFL run tied Nick Reed (parts of 2006 and '07 seasons) for the most consecutive games with a tackle for loss by an Oregon player since at least 2005. • Hollins' streak started Oct. 29, 2016 during a home win over Arizona State. • The redshirt junior from Arlington, Texas totaled 13.5 TFLs during the streak. • Hollins had 4.0 TFLs over the first 21 games of his career, and has more than tripled that output in his last 16 contests.

PASS AT YOUR OWN RISK • Oregon's defensive effort at Wyoming in Week three was one of its best in recent memory, limiting the Cowboys to 183 yards of total offense, including a paltry 66 passing yards. • The Ducks clearly flustered Wyoming quarterback and NFL prospect Josh Allen, who completed only 9-of-24 attempts for 64 yards with no touchdown passes and one interception. • The last time UO held an opponent to less than 183 yards of total offense was Sept. 15, 2012 vs. Tennessee Tech (177). • The last time the Ducks held an FBS foe

GRAHAM EARNS FIRST NATIONAL HONORS • FR CB Thomas Graham Jr. is quickly proving why he was one of the most sought after prep players in the country before coming to Eugene. The former four-star recruit from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., earned his first national honors as a collegian when he was named the Jim Thorpe Award Player of the Week and 247Sports True Freshman of the Week for his performance vs. Nebraska. • Graham had two interceptions, seven tackles (6 solo), 1.0 tackles for loss and registered a pair of pass breakups in the win over the Cornhuskers.

Mario Cristobal was named Oregon’s 34th head coach in December 2017 after working as the Ducks’ co-offensive coordinator, run-game coordinator and offensive line coach during the 2017 season. Cristobal joined the Oregon football staff in January 2017, and was elevated to the role of interim head coach on December 5 following Willie Taggart’s departure. He was promoted to the full-time role three days later.
in 2011, capturing a program-record eight wins, including a road win at eventual co-Big East Champion Louisville. Cristobal was named the Sun Belt Conference Coach of the Year in 2010 after leading FIU to its first Sun Belt Conference championship and a bowl victory over MAC champion Toledo, and he finished his FIU career having produced NFL talents such as T.Y. Hilton and Jonathan Cyprien.
In his first year at Oregon, Cristobal improved on an already stellar Oregon run-game as the Ducks finished the regular season with more than 3,000 yards on the ground, averaging 268 yards rushing per game. The Ducks’ rushing offense was ranked eighth in the FBS at the end of the regular season.
Cristobal coached at Miami (Fla.), his alma mater, under Larry Coker for three years before accepting the head job at FIU, working as tight ends coach for the 2004 and 2005 seasons and coaching multiple tight ends that turned into NFL draft picks, including first-round pick and All-Pro Greg Olsen. In 2006, Cristobal took over a Miami offensive line that featured four new starters and saw a 39 percent decrease in sacks allowed from the previous season (36 to 22).
The Ducks tallied 40 rushing touchdowns during Cristobal’s first season, the most since 2014, averaging 5.4 yards per rush. Senior running back Royce Freeman ran for 122.92 yards per game, ranking 11th in the country while scoring 16 rushing touchdowns, tied for 12th-most in the country. As a team, the Ducks’ offensive line allowed an average of 1.75 sacks per game. Under Cristobal, standout senior left tackle Tyrell Crosby allowed only three quarterback hurries and no sacks on his way to being named an Outland Trophy candidate and the recipient of the Morris Trophy as the top offensive lineman in the Pac-12. Cristobal spent the previous four seasons at Alabama as the assistant head coach and offensive line coach, helping the Crimson Tide to the CFP National Championship following the 2015 season, as well as a runner-up finish after the 2016 season. Cristobal’s offensive line ranked in the top 25 nationally in sacks allowed in each of his first two seasons, and in 2016 helped pave the way for the nation’s 11th-best rushing attack (246.7 ypg) and produced SEC Offensive Player of the Year Jalen Hurts. Alabama’s offensive lines produced a plethora of standout players and NFL draft picks under Cristobal, including first-team All-American and 2015 firstround draft pick Ryan Kelly and 2014 freshman All-American Cam Robinson, who went on to win the Outland Trophy in Crisobal’s final year with Alabama. Cristobal came to Oregon with a reputation as a top recruiter. He was named the National Recruiter of the Year by 247Sports in the 2015 cycle, and was ranked as the nation’s No. 2 recruiter in the country by 247Sports at the time of his hiring based on the final haul he brought to Alabama. Prior to joining Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama, Cristobal spent six seasons (2007-12) as the head coach at Florida International, solidifying his standing as one of the country’s top young college football coaches and recruiters. Cristobal led the Panthers to the most successful year in program history
60
Cristobal spent three years (2001-03) at Rutgers under head coach Greg Schiano, working with the offensive tackles and tight ends for the first two seasons before shifting his focus solely to the offensive line in 2003. Cristobal was a critical factor in Rutgers’ resurgence to competitiveness and helped lay the foundation in recruiting and coaching for a program that went from obscurity to college football’s upper echelon in a matter of five years. Cristobal helped Rutgers to a 5-7 mark in 2003, the school’s best record since 1998. One of Cristobal’s most accomplished pupils was tight end L.J. Smith, the Philadelphia Eagles’ second-round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft. Cristobal began his coaching career in 1998 as a graduate assistant at Miami, working with the Hurricanes for three seasons under Butch Davis. He joined the Hurricanes’ staff six years after finishing a four-year playing career at Miami as a standout offensive lineman under Hall of Fame coach Jimmy Johnson. Cristobal was a first-team All-Big East selection in 1992 and helped the Hurricanes to a pair of national championships (1989, 1991). A native of Miami and a prep standout at Christopher Columbus High School, Cristobal graduated from Miami in 1993 with a bachelor’s degree in business administration and later earned a master’s degree from Miami in 2001. Following his college career, Cristobal signed a free-agent contract with the Denver Broncos in 1994 and then played for the Amsterdam Admirals of NFL Europe in 1995 and 1996. Cristobal and his wife, Jessica, were married in June 2006 and have two sons, Mario Mateo and Rocco.

Joe Salave’a joined Oregon’s staff in January 2017 as associate head coach and defensive line coach. A renowned defensive line coach, Salave’a revitilized a defensive front that gave up an average of 246.5 yards rushing per game in 2016. Under his tutelage opponents averaged 129.9 yards per game in 2017 with only three teams rushing for more than 150 yards. The Oregon defense allowed less than 100 yards rushing in five games during the season. UO finished the 2017 regular season ranked in the top-30 nationally for rushing yards allowed per game (26th), sacks per game (22nd) and tackles for loss per game (18th). Salave’a came to Oregon after spending the previous five seasons at Washington State, working the first three as defensive line coach before adding assistant head coach to his title prior to the 2015 season. His unit showed vast improvement in each of his five seasons in both pass rush and rush defense, finishing the 2016 season 29th in the country in run defense (134.23 ypg). Over the last two seasons, three of the Cougars’ defensive linemen earned second-team All-Pac-12 Conference recognition under Salave’a. Prior to joining the Cougars, Salave’a spent a year at Arizona, his alma mater, as defensive line coach, signing on with the Wildcats in time for preparations for the 2010 Valero Alamo Bowl.

Salave’a began his coaching career in 2008 at San Jose State for his former college coach, Dick Tomey, working for two seasons as the defensive line coach. Salave’a made an immediate impact in his first coaching stint as he mentored Jarron Gilbert, the NCAA leader in tackles for loss and the Chicago Bears’ first pick in the 2009 NFL Draft. Before beginning his coaching career, Salave’a enjoyed an eight-year NFL career after being drafted out of Arizona in the fourth round of the 1998 NFL Draft by Tennessee. Salave’a spent five years with the Titans, split 2003 with the Baltimore Ravens and San Diego Chargers and finished his career with a three-year stint with the Washington Redskins before retiring after the 2006 season. He played 100 NFL games, making 28 starts, while totaling 82 tackles, 7.5 sacks and two forced fumbles. He appeared in Super Bowl XXXIV for the Titans. Salave’a lettered at Arizona as a defense tackle from 1994-97, earning firstteam All-Pac-10 honors in 1997, second-team honors in 1996, and honorable mention recognition in 1995. He was also the team captain in 1996. Salave’a totaled 157 career tackles for the Wildcats, all as an interior lineman, with 43.5 tackles for loss and 21.5 sacks. He led the team in sacks and tackles for loss in both 1996 and 1997, and in forced fumbles in 1994 and 1996. A native of Leone, American Samoa, Salave’a has been one of the territory’s foremost football ambassadors promoting the game among Samoan youth, including founding the Joe Salave’a Foundation in 2001 to help introduce the game and strengthen its appeal. The foundation specializes in free football clinics for youngsters in American Samoa and Hawaii. His work was recognized by Congressman Eni Faleomavaega in a 2005 White House ceremony hosted by President George W. Bush to celebrate Asian-Pacific American Heritage Month. Salave’a and his wife, Josephine, have one daughter, Katalina Elizabeth, and one son, Joseph Fatuimoana Jr.

MARCUS ARROYO OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR PASS-GAME COORDINATOR QUARTERBACKS/TIGHT ENDS
Marcus Arroyo joined the Ducks in February of 2017 as the Ducks’ cooffensive coordinator as well as the team’s quarterbacks and tight ends coach. Despite losing starting quarterback Justin Herbert along with backup Taylor Alie midway through the season, Arroyo led the Ducks to top-35 finishes in multiple categories in the FBS. The Ducks closed out the regular season with over 2,000 yards passing, ranking 26th in the country averaging 454.3 yards of total offense per game. Oregon was one of the top-teams in the FBS in passing efficiency with a season completion percentage of 64.4 percent placing UO 16th in the nation. As a team, the Ducks finished the year with a 144.59 passer rating ranking them 32nd. Arroyo came to Eugene after spending two years as the running backs coach at Oklahoma State, and brings experience as a coach for every offensive position except the offensive line. His second year with the Cowboys brought a substantial uptick in the running game from 2015, as OSU went from averaging 3.6 yards per carry and 126.8 yards per game to averaging 4.52 yards per carry and 170.85 yards per game in 2016. The Cowboys’ 32 touchdowns in 2016 were also an improvement from their 25 in 2015. Arroyo was also instrumental in grooming running back Justice Hill, who set OSU’s freshman rushing record in 2016 and was the nation’s top freshman rusher with 1,142 yards on 206 carries (5.54 ypc). Hill earned first-team all-American honors and was the AP Big 12 Freshman of the Year, and he dominated in conference play with 105.9 yards per game. Overall, Arroyo helped the Cowboys’ offense become one of just two teams in the nation to have a 4,000-yard passer, a 1,000-yard receiver and a 1,000-yard rusher. Prior to going to Stillwater, Arroyo spent the 2014-15 season in the NFL as interim offensive coordinator and play-caller for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He originally went to Tampa Bay to coach quarterbacks, but after a health procedure sidelined Bucs offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford, Arroyo took on the OC duties. With Arroyo at the helm of the Tampa Bay offense, receivers Mike Evans and Vincent Jackson both eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving, the first time in team history a pair of receivers went over 1,000 yards. Evans also set franchise rookie records with 68 receptions, 1,051 yards and 12 touchdowns to become one of five finalists for NFL Rookie of the Year. Prior to joining Tampa Bay, Arroyo spent the summer and fall of 2013 as part of the NFL Minority Internship with the Atlanta Falcons working directly with quarterbacks. 62

Before making the move to the NFL, Arroyo spent the 2013 season as the offensive coordinator and outside receivers coach at Southern Mississippi. Operating in Arroyo’s offense, true freshman quarterback Nick Mullens earned a spot on the Conference USA all-freshman team.
Arroyo gained experience working in the Pac-12 before going to USM, spending 2011 and 2012 as the passing-game coordinator and play-caller at California. Arroyo helped quarterback Zach Maynard work his way into the school’s career top 10 in both passing yards (5,204) and total offense (5,350) in only two seasons, and his 128.36 career passer efficiency rating is eighth in Cal history. Arroyo spent the 2009 and 2010 campaigns at Wyoming as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, developing quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels into the Mountain West Conference Freshman of the Year in 2009. Arroyo installed a new spread offense in 2009 that helped the Cowboys score 30 points or more five times and mount five fourth-quarter comebacks. Arroyo’s offense was stellar at taking care of the football, finishing seventh in the nation in fewest turnovers lost with only 14. Prior to his stint at Wyoming, Arroyo was the co-offensive coordinator for two seasons and quarterbacks coach for three campaigns at his alma mater, San Jose State. He was the quarterbacks coach and play-caller for the Spartans in 2006, and added co-offensive coordinator duties for 2007 and 2008 under head coach Dick Tomey. Arroyo tutored the Spartans’ all-time leader in passing and total offense, Adam Tafralis, from 2006-07, guiding him to 7,548 career passing yards and 8,111 yards of total offense. Arroyo was an offensive graduate assistant at San Jose State in 2005 before being elevated to a full-time assistant. Arroyo began his coaching career with the Spartans in 2003 as an undergraduate assistant coach. He was the offensive coordinator at Prairie View A&M (FCS) in 2004 before returning to San Jose State as a graduate assistant. A native of Colfax, Calif., Arroyo was a three-year letterman at San Jose State, where he played quarterback from 1998-2002. In 2000, he passed for 2,334 yards and 15 touchdowns while leading the Spartans to seven wins, their most in eight seasons. Arroyo graduated from San Jose State in 2003 with a degree in kinesiology.

Jim Leavitt joined the Ducks as defensive coordinator on Dec. 16, 2016, arriving in Eugene as one of the top defensive minds in football. With 38 years of experience coaching on the defensive side of the ball, Leavitt has built standout defenses at both the college and professional levels. In his first year at Oregon, the Duck defense had a tremendous improvement in their national rankings from the 2016 season. After finishing the previous season ranked 115th in total defense, UO finished the 2017 regular season ranked 39th in the FBS allowing an average of 359.8 yards per game. The Ducks also finished the regular season ranked in the top-20 for third down defense (20th) and tackles for loss (18th). Under Leavitt’s defensive scheme, UO held opponents to an average of 28 points per game, a substantial drop from the 41 points per game allowed in 2016. Before coming to Oregon, Leavitt spent the 2015 and 2016 seasons as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Pac-12 rival Colorado, shaping the Buffaloes defense into one of the nation’s best. He was rewarded for the improvements at Colorado when he was named the FootballScoop Defensive Coordinator of the Year, as well as being named a finalist for the Broyles Award which goes to the nation’s top assistant coach. Leavitt brought the Colorado defense to new heights in 2016, leading a unit that finished the regular season eighth in the nation in yards per play (4.69), 17th in the nation in total defense (328.3 ypg), 13th in passing defense (182.5 ypg) and 18th in scoring defense (20.5 ppg) while helping the Buffaloes to an appearance in the Pac-12 title game. In his first year at CU in 2015, Leavitt’s unit climbed to seventh in the Pac-12 in total defense (416.9 ypg), up four spots from 2014, and had the fifth-largest difference in opponent point differential (11.5 points) in the nation. Leavitt spent four seasons in the professional game before going to Colorado, helping the San Francisco 49ers to a 44-19-1 record, two NFC West titles, one NFC Championship and an appearance in Super Bowl XLVII as linebackers coach. Under head coach Jim Harbaugh, Leavitt tutored a linebacker corps that produced two first-team All-Pro selections in Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman and was one of the top defenses in the league during his time in San Francisco. Prior to joining the 49ers, Leavitt took on and conquered the challenge of building a collegiate program from scratch. Hired as South Florida’s head coach in 1996, Leavitt had roughly a year-and-a-half to hire a staff, recruit players and get the Bulls ready for their first taste of collegiate football. The school competed for the first time as an independent in the I-AA (now FCS) level for its first four years of existence (1997-2000), compiling a 27-17 record and was ranked for 24 consecutive weeks at one point. USF won its 63

first-ever game, a resounding 80-3 win over Kentucky Wesleyan. USF and Leavitt made the jump to the I-A (FBS) level in 2001, competing for two seasons as an independent and compiling records of 8-3 and 9-2. After spending two seasons in Conference USA, USF joined the Big East in 2005 and earned its first-ever bowl appearance in the Meineke Car Care Bowl against North Carolina State. Leavitt would keep USF on the rise over his final four seasons as its head coach, peaking at No. 2 in the polls in 2007 with a 6-0 start before finishing 9-4 and falling to Oregon in the Sun Bowl. Records of 8-5 in each of his last two seasons with the program gave Leavitt 11 winning seasons in his 13 years as the Bulls’ leader and a 95-57 (.625) overall record, including a 6840 (.630) mark and five bowl appearances (3-2) in five seasons as an FBS program. Leavitt started his career as a graduate assistant in 1978 at the University of Missouri, the same school he lettered for as a safety from 1974-77, and spent two seasons there while earning his Master’s degree in counseling. His first full-time coaching position came in 1980 at the University of Dubuque (Iowa) as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach as well as the head track coach and head strength coach. Leavitt then spent five years (1982-87) at Morningside College, the first as special teams coordinator and then next four as defensive coordinator. After 10 years at smaller schools in Iowa, Leavitt accepted an academic internship at the University of Iowa. While there, he was asked to join the Hawkeye staff as a graduate assistant for the 1989 season. Leavitt then joined Kansas State’s staff in 1990 as linebackers coach for two seasons before adding co-defensive coordinator to his resume (with current Oklahoma head coach Bob Stoops). Leavitt helped Kansas State, one of the least successful programs in all of Division I-A in the 1980s, to a tremendous turnaround that saw the Wildcats post a 45-23-1 mark with three bowl appearances in his six seasons with the program. Leavitt turned a defense that was ranked 93rd in the nation in his first season into the nation’s top unit in 1995, producing four first-team defensive All-Americans. Leavitt then left Manhattan to begin his impressive construction of the USF football program. Born in Harlingen, Texas, Leavitt graduated from Dixie Hollins High School in Florida where he lettered in football and baseball. Leavitt then played both football and baseball at Missouri, where he earned his degree in behavioral sciences and health education in 1978 before beginning his coaching career. Leavitt is married to Jody Leavitt and has three daughters, Deandre, Sofia and Isabella.

Charles Clark joined the Ducks in January 2017 as cornerbacks coach on Oregon’s staff. Oregon’s secondary gained a huge boost in Clark’s first season, finishing the year fifth in the FBS with 76 passes defended, including 63 pass breakups ranking UO sixth. Senior cornerback Arrion Springs excelled under Clark leading the team with 17 passes broken up tying him for fourth most in the FBS. Springs was also the No. 1 rated defensive back in the Pac-12 according to Pro Football Focus. Due to his successes, Clark was selected to the 2018 AFCA 35 Under 35 Coaches Leadership Institute. Clark came to Oregon from Colorado along with defensive coordinator Jim Leavitt after spending the previous four seasons with the Buffaloes. Clark coached Colorado’s safeties during his first two seasons in Boulder before moving to cornerbacks for the 2015 and 2016 seasons. Clark’s secondary was instrumental in helping the Buffs to the 2016 Pac-12 Conference South Division title, finishing second in the league and 21st in the country in passing defense (193.6 ypg) and tied for third in the nation in passing yards allowed per attempt (5.7). Four of Clark’s defensive backs earned Pac-12 allconference honors, and three seniors in the secondary were drafted in the first four rounds of the NFL Draft.
Prior to Colorado, Clark coached defensive backs at San Jose State from 2010 to 2012. Clark’s unit led the WAC in interceptions (15) and forced turnovers (31) in 2012, and he helped to mold Duke Ihenacho into an All-Western Athletic Conference selection and future NFL player. Three of Clarks’s players earned WAC all-conference honors, and Peyton Thompson and Bene Benwikere joined Ihenacho as selections in the NFL Draft. Clark began his coaching career at Duke in 2008, starting as a defensive quality control intern while also assisting the special teams coordinator and defensive assistant coaches. In 2009, he was promoted to a graduate assistant position assigned to the defense and special teams. A four-year letterman at Ole Miss, Clark played in 47 career games and started each of the last 34. He led the Rebels in tackles as a sophomore (76), totaling more than future Butkus Award winner and NFL All-Pro, Patrick Willis. He finished his career with 198 tackles, three interceptions, 12 passes broken up and five fumble recoveries. Clark graduated from Mississippi in 2007 with a degree in business (banking and finance), and he worked briefly in private business before getting into coaching. A native of Eustis, Fla., Clark attended Clay High School where he played football, basketball and track and field. Clark has one daughter, CadeMorgan, and one son, Charles IV.

Southern Utah Oregon
SOUTHERN UTAH OREGON
21 77
Eugene, Ore. (52,204) Autzen Stadium 90 degrees, smokey, hazy EUGENE — The 2017 Oregon football season began in rousing fashion Saturday, with Tony Brooks-James returning the opening kickoff for a touchdown and the Ducks’ offense in vintage form throughout a 77-21 victory over Southern Utah before 52,204 fans in Autzen Stadium. The Ducks (1-0) won their seventh straight season opener, and their 10th straight season opener played at home. They won their 16th straight game over non-Power 5 conference opponents. How It Happened: Brooks-James returned the opening kick 100 yards to get the Ducks on the board first. Oregon’s defense, making its debut under coordinator Jim Leavitt, got off to an inauspicious start, allowing Southern Utah to drive 70 yards to a game-tying touchdown. But the defense buckled down from there, and the Ducks scored the game’s next 35 points. Justin Herbert sparked that stretch with a TD pass to Jacob Breeland, and the Ducks also got a pair of touchdowns each from Royce Freeman and Kani Benoit. The Thunderbirds scored twice just before halftime, recovering a muffed kick return by Brooks-James in between. But the UO defense rallied with a threeand-out to open the second half, Freeman scored in third touchdown of the night early in the third quarter, and the rout was on. Who Stood Out: Freeman kicked off his senior season and quest for the UO career rushing record with 150 yards and four touchdowns on 23 carries. His 48 career rushing touchdowns tie for fifth-most in conference history, and are five behind LaMichael James for the UO record. Freeman is also within four yards of catching Stepfan Taylor (Stanford, 2009-12) for sixth in Pac-12 history with 4,300 rushing yards. Benoit also surpassed the century mark, rushing for 107 yards and three touchdowns on seven carries. Herbert was an efficient 17-of-21 for 281 yard with the single passing touchdown, and Charles Nelson led UO receivers with five catches for 99 yards. Defensively, returning team MVP Troy Dye made an apparently seamless transition to inside linebacker, leading the Ducks with 10 tackles and adding a first-half interception that helped Oregon take firm grasp of momentum. What It Means: The Ducks used a familiar formula to beat the Thunderbirds, with explosive offense, timely turnovers and stops on defense, and gamechanging special teams play. There’s still much work to be done in the weeks ahead, but the win was the first step in proving the 2016 season an aberration in recent UO football history. Notable: Brooks-James’ kickoff return was the first by a Duck to open a new season since Saladin McCullough in 1997 against Arizona in Autzen Stadium. … The Ducks used seven true freshmen in the first half: Johnny Johnson III started at receiver, Adam Stack was the primary punter, Austin Faoliu started at nose guard and the defense used Jordon Scott, Nick Pickett, Billy Gibson and Thomas Graham Jr. off the bench. Cornerback Deommodore Lenoir and receiver Darrian McNeal played in the second half. … Safety Tyree Robinson, safety Brady Breeze, defensive lineman Scott Pagano and defensive lineman Malik Young were notable among the Ducks who did not suit up Saturday. … Blake Maimone, who battled all preseason camp for the punting job with Stack, handled the job in the second half.

Nebraska Oregon
NEBRASKA OREGON
35 42
Eugene, Ore. (58,389) Autzen Stadium 74 degrees, partly cloudy EUGENE — Oregon improved to 2-0 in dramatic fashion, jumping out to a 28-point lead in the first half and then surviving a scoreless second half to hold Nebraska, 4235, before 58,389 fans in Autzen Stadium. Justin Herbert threw for 365 yards and three touchdowns, Royce Freeman rushed for 153 yards and two touchdowns and the UO defense intercepted four passes, the last by Ugochukwu Amadi to clinch the victory. How It Happened: Oregon (2-0) exploded out of the gates, with Herbert throwing touchdown passes to Brenden Schooler and Charles Nelson in the opening few minutes, and Freeman rushing for a touchdown on the final play of the first quarter to give the Ducks a 21-7 lead. The home team scored another 21 in the second quarter, and rushing touchdowns by Freeman and Kani Benoit, and a Dillon Mitchell reception from Herbert. The latter put the Ducks up 42-14 at the break. But the UO offense couldn’t find any traction after halftime, and Nebraska’s Tanner Lee threw a pair of TD passes to Stanley Morgan in the third quarter. In the fourth, Mikale Wilbon rushed for a touchdown after a Freeman fumble, and the Huskers forced a punt with 2:17 left. But Amadi intercepted a pass on the next play, and the Ducks held on. Who Stood Out: Herbert completed 25-of-33 passes for 365 yards and three touchdowns. Freeman had 29 carries to get his 153 yards and two scores, and Nelson caught eight passes for 117 yards. True freshman Thomas Graham Jr. started for the first time and had two interceptions, and Troy Dye led the Ducks with 11 tackles. What It Means: The Ducks demonstrated some resiliency in holding on, but also showed that they still have room to improve in their first season under Willie Taggart. Notable: Graham and safety Nick Pickett each made his first career start, joining classmates Austin Faoliu, Johnny Johnson III and Adam Stack in the starting lineup … Senior Tyree Robinson started at safety after not playing in the opener, but didn’t not see action in the second half due to injury … The Ducks wore their “Project Elevate” uniforms to benefit OHSU Doernbecher Children’s Hospital. Three three young cancer patients who helped design the uniforms — Ethan Frank, Joe MacDonald and Sophia Malinoski — announced Oregon’s starting lineup prior to kickoff … Oregon entered Saturday with a 1-6 record all-time against the Huskers. The Ducks’ last win in the series was 20-12 in Lincoln, Neb., in 1953. Saturday’s game wrapped up a home-and-home series that Nebraska opened with a 35-32 win in Lincoln last season.

Laramie, Wyo. (29,139) War Memorial Stadium 59 degrees, sunny LARAMIE, Wyo. — In a game that drew nearly two dozen NFL scouts hoping to get a look at an elite quarterback, it was Oregon’s Justin Herbert who outplayed his counterpart from Wyoming, Josh Allen, leading the Ducks to a 49-13 victory before 29,139 fans in War Memorial Stadium. How It Happened: The Ducks (3-0) hit 42 points in the first half for the third time in three games this season, taking a 42-10 lead into the break. All 10 Wyoming points followed turnovers, as the Oregon defense otherwise was stout and forced five three-and-outs plus a fumble against Allen.

The Ducks drove to touchdowns on their first two possessions, both rushing touchdowns by Royce Freeman. A muffed punt by Charles Nelson and a fumble by Herbert helped Wyoming put 10 points on the board. But the Oregon defense allowed little else in the first half, while the Ducks added rushing touchdowns by Freeman, Herbert and Kani Benoit, and a passing TD from Herbert to Taj Griffin.
INTERCEPTIONS: Oregon-Hotchkins, A.J. 1-3. Wyoming Cowboys-GAFFORD, Rico 1-8.
Oregon’s second-half sluggishness reared its head again, and Wyoming scored three more points off a UO turnover in the second half. Herbert threw a pass that went off a receiver’s hand and was intercepted; the Cowboy’s field goal was the only scoring play of the third quarter. But the Ducks laughed last, with Benoit rushing for his second touchdown of the night in the fourth quarter.

Who Stood Out: Freeman carried 30 times for 157 yards and three touchdowns. He tied LaMichael James with 53 career touchdowns, and become the alltime UO leader in carries with 785. Herbert completed 18-of-29 passes for 251 yards with a touchdown and an interception. The UO defense hounded Allen into a 9-of-24 night for 64 yards; Kaulana Apelu led the Ducks with seven tackles. What It Means: The Ducks are off to a 3-0 start for the first time since the 2014 season. They enter the start of Pac-12 play next week at Arizona State. Notable: Jordon Scott made his first carer start at nose tackle, with previous starter Austin Faoliu not on the trip. Graduate transfer Scott Pagano made his UO debut as a reserve on the defensive line. The Ducks opened offensively in a four-receiver set, with Brenden Schooler making his first career start on offense. … Charles Nelson was injured in the first half and returned to the UO sideline before halftime on crutches, with a boot on his right leg. Junior Taj Griffin replaced him on offense, making his 2017 debut. Dillon Mitchell took over returning punts.

How It Happened: In a back-and-forth game two years after the Ducks and Devils went three overtimes in Tempe, the Ducks (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) rallied into the lead on a rushing touchdown by Justin Herbert with 6:41 to play. But Arizona State (2-2, 1-0) drove to a go-ahead field goal with 2:33 to play, and Oregon couldn’t answer despite taking possession two more times.
RUSHING: Oregon-Freeman, Royce 15-81; Herbert, Justin 10-36; Brooks-James 1-10; Griffin, Taj 1-3; Benoit, Kani 1-minus 1; TEAM 1-minus 4; Redd, Jaylon 1-minus 5.

Herbert’s rushing touchdown provided the only lead of the night for Oregon. Manny Wilkins had touchdowns rushing and passing for ASU in the first quarter, and the first of three field goals on the night by Brandon Ruiz gave Arizona State a 17-7 lead late in the period. The Ducks caught a break when the Sun Devils muffed a punt just before halftime; Oregon quickly converted it into Royce Freeman’s school-record 54th career rushing touchdown, to trail 17-14 at halftime.
RECEIVING: Oregon-Mitchell, D. 5-61; Breeland, Jacob 4-95; Brooks-James 3-55; Freeman, Royce 3-19; Schooler, B. 2-27; Johnson III, J. 2-24. Arizona State-Harvey, Jalen 8-133; Harry, N’Keal 7-170; Williams, Kyle 4-29; Ballage, Kalen 3-17; Benjamin, Eno 1-minus 1; Richard,Demario 1-minus 1.
But Arizona State used explosion plays to extend the lead in the third quarter. Wilkins had a completion of 63 yards to set up his second rushing touchdown of the night, and a 47-yard pass play led to a Demario Richard touchdown that put ASU up 31-14. Their backs against the wall, Oregon pulled within 31-28 on TD passes by Herbert to Johnny Johnson III and Tony Brooks-James. Although they followed Ruiz’s second field goal with the rushing TD by Herbert for a 35-34 lead, that was the Ducks’ last gasp. Who Stood Out: Herbert completed 19-of-35 passes for 281 yards and three scores, without an interception. Six receivers had multiple receptions, led by Dillon Mitchell with five catches for 61 yards, including Oregon’s first-quarter touchdown. Freeman ran 15 times for 81 yards and a score. Defensively, Jalen Jelks had a monster night with three sacks among his five tackles for loss and eight total tackles. Thomas Graham Jr. added eight tackles; Deommodore Lenoir added five, reflecting how often ASU tested the Ducks’ true freshmen when they were in the game. What It Means: A month ago, a 3-1 start to the season sounded pretty good for a team coming off a 4-8 season. But Oregon had re-set the bar in nonconference play, making Saturday’s result a frustrating one. Notable: Charles Nelson did not play due to a bum ankle suffered against Wyoming. … Owing in part to his absence, true freshman Jaylon Redd made his UO debut. He was the lead blocker on the sweep play that resulted in Freeman’s record-setting touchdown. … The Ducks were whistled for 14 penalties, for 99 yards, continuing a theme from the first two games after appearing to address the issue with just four flags drawn at Wyoming. … The Ducks were a top-10 team nationally in converting third downs — and ASU entered the night last in the FBS in third-down defense — but Oregon went just 1-of-11.

Cal Oregon
CALIFORNIA OREGON
24 45
Eugene, Ore. (55,707) Autzen Stadium 55 degrees, mostly cloudy EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon football team won a war of attrition by dominating the battle in the trenches, overcoming the loss of quarterback Justin Herbert and running back Royce Freeman to beat California, 4524, before 55,707 fans in Autzen Stadium. How It Happened: The Ducks (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) bounced back from their loss to Arizona State a week earlier, and survived the gut punch of playing without Herbert and Freeman in the second half. Already playing Saturday without receiver Charles Nelson, tight end Jacob Breeland, linebacker A.J. Hotchkins and safety Nick Pickett, Oregon lost Herbert, Freeman, receiver Dillon Mitchell and linebacker Kaluana Apelu to injuries and also safety Tyree Robinson due to an ejection for targeting in the first half. Herbert was injured on his rushing touchdown that made it 17-0 late in the first quarter, having already thrown a touchdown pass to Brenden Schooler as well. The offense struggled to find traction behind backup Taylor Alie initially, and Cal scored just before halftime to make it 17-7. But the Ducks controlled the line of scrimmage after halftime, rushing 34 times for 217 yards and four touchdowns. Kani Benoit ran for two scores, Tony Brooks-James added one and true freshman Darrian Felix capped the evening with an 11-yard score for the game’s final points. The UO defense, meanwhile, limited California (3-2, 0-2) to eight yards rushing on the night, and sacked quarterback Ross Bowers seven times. A 75yard touchdown pass by Bowers to Kanawai Noa in the third quarter got the Golden Bears within 24-14, and Matt Anderson kicked a field goal to make it a one-score game at 24-17 early in the fourth. But the Ducks answered the field goal in less than a minute, with Benoit slicing through the defense like a blade for a 68-yard touchdown between blocks by Jake Pisarcik and Calvin Throckmorton, regaining momentum for Oregon. Who Stood Out: Benoit rushed 18 times for 138 yards and fellow runner BrooksJames had 16 carries for 76 yards, picking up the slack in Freeman’s absence. Herbert was 7-of-8 passing for 86 yards and a touchdown before his injury, and Alie went 9-of-13 for 41 yards in relief. Henry Mondeaux had two sacks and recovered a fumble, and Troy Dye led the defense with nine tackles. Pressed into first-string roles by the injuries to Pickett and Apelu, safety Mattrell McGraw and linebacker Blake Rugraff made six tackles each. What It Means: The long-term influence of the injuries isn’t yet known, making it difficult to extrapolate their full impact; UO coach Willie Taggart said immediately afterward he hadn’t spoken with team doctors for official diagnosis on Herbert, Freeman and the rest. But the Ducks were able to compartment their concern and demonstrated resiliency and toughness, traits Taggart and his staff worked hard to instill since taking over the team.

How It Happened: Oregon (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12) used stout defense and some good fortune to take an early lead. The Ducks had two possessions in the first quarter that began in WSU territory after defensive stops and subpar punts by the Cougars, both resulting in scores. Aidan Schneider's 20-yard field goal got Oregon within 7-3, and Jacob Breeland hauled in a beautiful 30-yard pass from true freshman Braxton Burmeister for a 10-7 lead with 3:37 left in the opening quarter.
PASSING: Washington State-Falk, Luke 24-42-0-282. Oregon-Burmeister, B. 15-27-2-145.
But other than that, offense was hard to come by for Oregon. Washington State loaded up to stop the run, and the Ducks couldn't get enough strikes in the passing game to loosen up the defense. The vaunted UO running game averaged just 2.9 yards per carry, and the Cougars scored the final 26 points of the game to remain unbeaten.

Who Stood Out: Troy Dye set the tone defensively with 11 tackles, and the Ducks got a sack each from Jalen Jelks, Henry Mondeaux, Jonah Moi and Jordon Scott. Burmeister, making his first college start a week after taking off his redshirt, went 15-of-27 for 145 yards and a touchdown. Royce Freeman started after being injured a week early, and had 62 yards on 12 carries. What It Means: The Ducks knew they'd need to reinvent themselves offensively without Herbert, and that adjustment period began Saturday. With tough games against Stanford, UCLA, Utah and Washington over the next four weeks, they'll look to flesh things out quickly this week in practice. Quotable: Willie Taggart, UO head coach "Braxton did some good things, he did some bad things. He did some things most freshmen do sometimes. I think, this game, he can learn a lot from. He's gotten that first game out of the way. I think he'll be better as we move forwrd. But he needs a lot more help around him." "We didn't play our best ballgame up front. Washington State did a great job, their defensive line, with the movement, and our guys didn't handle that well. And that cost us big-time in the run game."

"It thought our defense played well. I didn't think we did enough offensively to show how well they played." Notable: Senior quarterback Taylor Alie, the backup earlier this season to Herbert, was ruled out for Saturday's game a day earlier, Taggart said. Receiver Dillon Mitchell (concussion) also didn't play after being injured a week earlier. ... The Ducks committed 10 penalties for 95 yards and were 2-of-17 on third down. … Oregon's defense held WSU to 282 passing yards, well off their season average. … Senior receiver Charles Nelson suited up pregame and participated in warmups but was int street clothes when the Ducks returned to the field for the opening kickoff. … Linebacker Sampson Niu made his collegiate debut, becoming the 13th true freshman to see action for Oregon this fall.

How It Happened: The Ducks (4-3, 1-3 Pac-12) lost their second straight game without starting quarterback Justin Herbert. Braxton Burmeister got the start and was 2-of-6 for 15 yards with two interceptions before being replaced in the second half by Taylor Alie.

Oregon's defense started slow, with Stanford running back Bryce Love rushing 34 yards on his first touch to set up the Cardinal's first touchdown on the opening possession. Love then raced 67 yards on a one-play touchdown drive to put Stanford up 14-0. The Ducks rallied to within 14-7 on a Burmeister rushing touchdown, but the Cardinal drove to another touchdown for a 21-7 lead, then blocked a punt and recovered it for another touchdown and a 28-7 halftime advantage. Keller Chryst's second passing touchdown of the night put Stanford ahead 35-7 in the third quarter. Chryst added a third TD pass in the fourth quarter, before giving way to backup K.J. Costello, who added a final touchdown pass with 3:03 left in the game. Who Stood Out: Royce Freeman rushed 18 times for 143 yards. Freeman moved to 4,943 career rushing yards, passing Marcus Allen (USC, 1978-81) for fourth in Pac-12 history. In third with 5,044 yards is Ken Simonton (OSU, 1998-2001). It was the 26th 100-yard rushing game of Freeman's career, tying him with LaMichael James for first in UO history. The two big plays by Love belied what overall was a solid effort by Oregon's rush defense. The Ducks went big for the game, moving end Jalen Jelks out to linebacker and inserting Scott Pagano into the lineup at end. They also used nose guard Austin Faoliu at end, and in goal-line situations went with a heavy four-lineman, four-linebacker package. Love had 115 yards on his first five carries, and 32 yards on his last 12 carries. What It Means: Oregon continues to look for answers on offense since the injury to Herbert. The Ducks are two wins shy of reaching bowl eligibility, with five chances left this regular season.

Quotable: Willie Taggart, UO head coach On Oregon's quarterback play "We knew we couldn't turn the ball over and beat this football team. We turned it over a couple times early, and I think (Burmeister) was shook a little bit. ... The kid had a good week of practice. He just came out and didn't have the game we wanted." Notable: Receivers Charles Nelson and Dillon Mitchell returned from injuries to start the game. … Offensive linemen Tyrell Crosby and Jake Pisarcik were injured in the first half and didn't return. Running back Tony Brooks-James had to be helped off the field in the second half, and Taggart said postgame all three showed concussion symptoms. … Saturday's game was briefly interrupted when a rabbit began running loose on the field. It was eventually corralled on the UO sideline by players. … The blocked punt for a touchdown was the first against Oregon since 2005, also by Stanford. 78

Pasadena, Calif. (55,711) Rose Bowl 75 degrees, light haze PASADENA, Calif. — Royce Freeman became Oregon's all-time leading rusher, albeit in the losing cause after the Ducks rallied to a halftime tie but couldn't muster points in the second half of a 31-14 loss to UCLA in the Rose Bowl. Freeman entered the game with 4,943 rushing yards, and had 160 on Saturday to bring his career total to 5,103. He surpassed LaMichael James, who ran for 5,082 yards over three seasons from 2009-11. How It Happened: The Ducks (4-4, 1-4 Pac-12) lost for the third time in three games since losing quarterback Justin Herbert to a broken collar bone. True freshman Braxton Burmeister rushed for both Oregon touchdowns Saturday, drawing the Ducks back from a 14-0 deficit to tie the game at halftime. But the second half was a shutout. Two third-and-long plays late in the third quarter swung the game to UCLA. The Bruins had third-and-10 in their own territory when Josh Rosen completed a 49-yard pass to Christian Pabico. On the next play, Bolu Olorunfunmi hurdled a defender at the goal line to cap a 22-yard touchdown run for a 24-14 UCLA lead. On the ensuing UO possession, Freeman had two long carries to get the ball past midfield. The Ducks had third-and-three from the UCLA 40-yard line, Burmeister took a deep shot down the sideline and it was intercepted. Who Stood Out: Freeman had 160 yards on 29 carries to also break James' record with his 27th career 100-yard rushing performance. Burmeister had two rushing touchdowns on 16 carries, running for 27 yards. Charles Nelson caught four passes for 40 yards. Defensively, La'Mar Winston Jr. led the Ducks with 11 tackles, and Ugo Amadi added nine. Winston and Troy Dye each recorded a sack. What It Means: The Ducks showed some positive signs offensively in the first half. The touchdown drives were each 15-play possessions that chewed up at least 75 yards. But ultimately, the offense continues to struggle without Herbert.

Quotable: Willie Taggart, UO head coach On Burmeister's performance "I thought he played better than he had in the previous two ballgames. But still not where we need him to be. ... Those are things we've just got to deal with right now, but we've got to help him get better, and be better around him." Royce Freeman, senior running back On setting the UO career rushing record "It's a blessing; all praise to the most high. But I was just trying to come back and scrap and get a win. That's all that was on my mind." Notable: The Ducks were whistled for just three penalties, for 15 yards. … Amadi moved to safety this week and started the game there. … Regulars Jake Pisarcik, Tony Brooks-James, Jonah Moi and Scott Pagano did not make the trip due to injury. … WIth Pisarcik out, redshirt freshman Jacob Capra started at right guard. 79

Eugene, Ore. (56,154) Autzen Stadium 65 degrees, sunny EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon football team closed out October with a 41-20 victory over Utah, giving the Ducks their first win in four tries since the injury to quarterback Justin Herbert. How It Happened: The Ducks (5-4, 2-4 Pac-12) led 17-6 at halftime thanks to a strip-and-score touchdown return by Ugochukwu Amadi, after a reception by former UO wideout Darren Carrington II. Then, Oregon scored in the second half for the first time since Herbert's injury, a 24-point second half that included a reverse pass for a touchdown from Charles Nelson to Jacob Breeland. Oregon's defense was stout all afternoon, holding the Utes to two field goals in three first-half trips to the red zone. The Ducks, meanwhile, drove to an early touchdown behind Burmeister, who opened the scoring with a TD pass to Cam McCormick. Up 17-6 at halftime, the Utes opened the second half with a touchdown that the Ducks answered with an Aidan Schneider field goal. Later in the third quarter, Nelson took the ball on a reverse, kept his footing despite stumbling, then lofted a ball into the end zone that Breeland won possession of for a touchdown. The fourth quarter featured rushing touchdowns by Tony Brooks-James and Kani Benoit, sandwiched around Utah's final touchdown. Who Stood Out: Royce Freeman rushed 20 times for 139 yards, and BrooksJames added 105 yards on six carries. Burmeister finished 9-of-12 passing for 47 yards with a touchdown. Defensively, Troy Dye led the Ducks with 11 tackles, and Jalen Jelks had 1.5 of the team's four sacks. Arrion Springs broke up three passes, among the seven Oregon had as a team. What It Means: The Ducks got a much-needed confidence boost after three losses, and proved they could win without Herbert. They also moved within one win of bowl eligibility, with three games to play. Notable: Sophomore quarterback Justin Herbert was in uniform and participated in warmups. He spent the game signalling in plays from the sideline. … Jake Pisarcik returned to the starting lineup after not playing at UCLA, and Brooks-James and Jonah Moi both played after missing that game. … Springs raised his career total to 38 passes broken up, fifth all-time at Oregon. … Freeman became the second player in school history with three 1,000-yard seasons, following LaMichael James.

Seattle, Wash. (70,572) Husky Stadium 40 degrees, mostly cloudy SEATTLE — Oregon used a ball-control offense to take an early lead over No. 12 Washington, but a series of UO miscues tilted momentum to the Huskies, who took it and ran to a 38-3 victory before 70,572 in Husky Stadium. How It Happened: With Justin Herbert again in uniform but watching from the sideline, the Ducks (5-5, 2-5 Pac-12) used their running game complemented by short, quick passes from Braxton Burmeister to mount a 15-play, 62-yard scoring drive on the opening possession. The Ducks used more than half the first quarter, 7:44, to take a 3-0 lead. Washington (8-1, 5-1) drove into UO territory but had to settle for a field-goal attempt of its own, which missed. In position to go ahead by two scores, the Ducks again mixed power running with short passes to drive back into the red zone, only to lose a fumble when Kani Benoit was hit at the 16-yard line. The Huskies drove to a game-tying field goal, and on the next possession Dante Pettis returned a punt for a touchdown for the ninth time in his career, breaking the NCAA record and putting UW ahead for good. The teams then traded three-and-outs, giving Oregon possession midway through the quarter down 10-3. Burmeister couldn't handle a snap on thirdand-one, and though the Ducks jumped on the loose ball, they had to punt, and Washington had a strangle hold on momentum that wasn't released the rest of the night. Who Stood Out: Royce Freeman surpassed the 100-yard mark for the 29th time in his career, a UO record, with 122 yards on 24 carries. Burmeister completed 7-of-13 passes for 31 yards, four to Charles Nelson for 18 yards. Jimmie Swain led the defense with a career-high 13 tackles, including at the goal line when Washington went for it on fourth down late in the game. What It Means: Oregon dropped to 1-4 in games without Herbert, and now has a bye week before closing the season with two games at home. The Ducks need one more win for bowl eligibility, but have been eliminated from Pac-12 title contention. Quotable: UO coach Willie Taggart: "We felt like we'd be able to run the ball, which we did. We've just gotta be able to throw the ball better."

Arizona Oregon
ARIZONA OREGON
28 48
Eugene, Ore. (51,799) Autzen Stadium 45 degrees, mostly cloudy EUGENE, Ore. — Justin Herbert made a triumphant return from a five-game absence and Royce Freeman continued his assault on the record books, leading the Oregon football team to a 48-28 victory over Arizona in Autzen Stadium. Herbert played for the first time since September after recovering from a fractured collarbone, and threw for 235 yards while accounting for two touchdowns. Freeman ran for four touchdowns, moving with one of the Pac12 career record, setting a UO career record for total touchdowns and helping the Ducks become bowl eligible in their first season under head coach Willie Taggart. How It Happened: The Ducks (6-5, 3-5 Pac-12) fell behind early to Arizona and its dynamic quarterback, Khalil Tate, when Nick Wilson ran for a touchdown midway through the first quarter. But on the ensuing possession, Herbert dropped back to pass, the pocket began to collapse, he saw a seam and ran 40 yards for a game-tying touchdown. Freeman's first touchdown of the game made it 14-7 later in the quarter. Oregon was poised to blow the game open early, but an interception by Herbert reversed momentum. Arizona scored two plays later to tie the game at 14-14, and Wilson's second TD run made it 21-14. The Ducks stabilized themselves after that, with Herbert throwing a beautiful 39-yard TD pass to Jake Breeland, and Freeman making it 28-21 just before halftime. Freeman scored again to open the third quarter. Arizona responded to get within 35-28, but Oregon blew the game open for good, scoring the final 13 points unanswered. Aidan Schneider kicked two field goals, and Freeman rushed for his fourth touchdown one play after a reverse flea-flicker from Herbert to Johnny Johnson III for 50 yards down to the 1-yard line. Who Stood Out: Herbert went 14-of-21 for 235 yards and a passing touchdown with one interception. Freeman ran 19 times for 135 yards and four touchdowns, and Tony Brooks-James added another 19 carries for 124 yards. Dillon Mitchell caught six passes, the most for any UO receiver in a game since Herbert's injury. Defensively, the Ducks limited the dynamic Tate to just 191 yards of offense, with Troy Dye making 11 tackles to lead the UO defense. What It Means: The Ducks showed how dangerous they can be with Herbert healthy, and wrapped up postseason eligibility a year after missing a bowl.

Notable: Injured senior offensive lineman Doug Brenner announced the starting lineups, and had fun doing so. He announced his position mates as "The Yakima Moose" Shane Lemieux, Jake "The Machine" Hanson, "Dr." Calvin Throckmorton and "Italian Stallion" Brady Aiello. Brenner referred to Tyrell Crosby simply as "the best left tackle in the country." ... Throckmorton started at right guard and Aiello entered the lineup at right tackle, given the absence of season-long starter at right guard Jake Pisarcik. … Defensive tackle Scott Pagano and linebacker Blake Rugraff each returned from a three-game absence. … Autzen Stadium PA announcer Don Essig missed the game due to illness, just the third game he's missed since taking over PA duties. Athletics communication staffer Andy McNamara was on the mic for the game.

Eugene, Ore. (57,475) Autzen Stadium 45 degrees, showers EUGENE, Ore. — The Oregon football team set Civil War records for points and margin of victory in a 69-10 win over Oregon State in Autzen Stadium. On a night Royce Freeman set a Pac-12 record for career rushing touchdowns, the Ducks (7-5, 4-5 Pac-12) exceeded the previous series record of 65 points they set in 2008 at OSU. The previous record for margin of victory was 44, set twice by the Ducks and exceeded Saturday by halftime, with Oregon led 52-7. How It Happened: A year after seeing their eight-game win streak in the series end, the Ducks got back on the right side of the rivalry. Oregon scored on its first eight possessions, taking an early 10-0 lead on Freeman's first touchdown of the night, which tied the Pac-12 career record of 59 previously held by Ken Simonton of OSU. Justin Herbert threw two touchdown passes to Dillon Mitchell and another to Jacob Breeland in the first half, and also ran for a touchdown just before halftime. In between, Freeman broke Simonton's record with his 60th career rushing touchdown, and freshman Jaylon Redd ran for a touchdown after an unsuccessful fake punt by the Beavers in their own red zone.

Freeman had 19 carries for 122 yards and two scores, and Benoit also had 122 yards on the ground. Mitchell caught six passes for 119 yards and two scores. Troy Dye led the UO defense with eight tackles. What It Means: Oregon soundly defeated its rival after a week of smack talk between the two.

ALL-TIME BOWL RECAPS
2016 ALAMO BOWL OREGON BOWL TRADITION
TCU 47, Oregon 41 (3OT) Jan. 2, 2016 San Antonio, Texas Attendance: 64,569 SAN ANTONIO, Texas — One of the best first halves in Oregon postseason history was followed by one of the biggest comebacks ever in college football bowl annals as No. 11 Texas Christian rallied to beat the 15th-ranked Ducks, 4741 in triple overtime, in the 23rd Valero Alamo Bowl Saturday before 64,569 in the Alamodome. The value of graduate transfer quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. to this team, illustrated so starkly while he nursed a finger injury early in the season, was reiterated once again. Oregon scored on its second possession with a 37-yard Adams pass to Darren Carrington, and followed that up with three subsequent touchdown drives to spark a 21-point opening quarter and 31-point halftime lead. But Adams took a helmetto-helmet hit just before halftime and watched in street clothes for the second half, in which the Horned Frogs mounted their furious rally. They capped their second half by scoring on all six of their secondhalf possessions - three touchdowns and a trio of field goals. TCU got on the scoreboard with a three-pointer to open the second half, then made it 31-10 following an Oregon drive puncuated by a bad snap. Another UO mistake — a fumble by Charles Nelson on the ensuing kickoff— gave the Horned Frogs the ball at the 16-yard line, and they scored again to make it 31-17 late in the third quarter. The fourth quarter featured more of the same, with TCU grinding out scoring drives and the Ducks failing to establish any offensive rhythm due to inconsistent center-quarterback exchanges. The Horned Frogs scored a touchdown with 3:32 left to pull within 31-28, forced a threeand-out by the Ducks and tied the game on a field goal with 19 seconds to remaining in regulation. The teams traded touchdowns in the first overtime, with Jeff Lockie completing a 17-yard pass to Royce Freeman on fourth down to extend Oregon’s drive, which ended in a Freeman 1-yard rushing TD. Each team kicked a field goal in the second overtime, and TCU went ahead in the third with another touchdown. Oregon had an opening when the Horned Frogs failed on their two-point attempt, but Lockie’s final-play pass to Carrington was broken up and the game was over. That big second half for TCU stood in stark contrast to the first half. After Carrington’s TD, the Ducks got two rushing touchdowns from Freeman later in the first half. It was the first time in Oregon’s postseason history that the Ducks scored three touchdowns in the opening quarter. In the second quarter, Tony Brooks-James added a rushing touchdown and Aidan Schneider kicked a career-long 47-yard field goal. Oregon led 31-0, its largest halftime lead ever in a bowl game, exceeding the 26-0 lead over Air Force in the 1997 Las Vegas Bowl. But ominously, Adams, center Matt Hegarty and receiver Dwayne Stanford all emerged for the second half in street clothes, robbing the offense of three major contributors. By game’s end, the offense also was without two more starting linemen - Matt Pierson and Tyler Johnstone. In his UO swan song, Adams completed 13-of-19 passes for 197 yards and a touchdown, all in the first half. Freeman finished with 130 rushing yards to make him Oregon’s single-season rushing record holder with 1,836 yards. Carrington caught seven passes for 107 yards. Defensively, Rodney Hardrick led the Ducks with nine tackles in his final game for the Ducks as he was chosen the recipient of the game’s Sportsmanship Award. Oregon lost its second straight postseason game, and fell short of 10 wins for the season for the first time since 2007.

OREGON BOWL TRADITION
2015 CFP CHAMPIONSHIP Ohio State 42, Oregon 20 Jan. 12, 2015 Arlington, Texas Attendance: 85,689
ARLINGTON, Texas — Oregon’s second trip to the national championship game in five years ended in similarly frustrating fashion, as the No. 2-ranked Ducks fell to fourth-ranked Ohio State, 42-20, in the inaugural College Football Playoff championships before 85,689 Monday night at AT&T Stadium. Oregon bounced back from an 11-point halftime deficit to pull within a 21-20 disadvantage with just over 6 minutes remaining in the third quarter, but it was unable to contain the Buckeyes’ sophomore running back Ezekiel Elliott. Running for better than 200 yards in each of his two previous outing against Wisconsin and Alabama, Elliott tallied 148 of his 246 rushing yards in the second half while scoring three of his four touchdowns in just over the final 15 minutes of the game. Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Marcus Mariota did his best to keep the Ducks within striking distance, taking his team 75-yards downfield on the opening drive to give Oregon a 7-0 advantage. Completing all four pass attempts while mixing in a quartet of Thomas Tyner runs, two of his own, and one by Royce Freeman, Mariota capped the drive with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Keanon Lowe. The opportunity existed for the Ducks to do further damage by forcing Ohio State to punt on its first series but a pair of dropped passes on third down on the next two possessions allowed the Big Ten Conference representative to get its offense untracked. Elliott’s 33-yard TD run, a short scoring pass from quarterback Cardale Jones to Nick Vannett, and a 1-yard touchdown plunge by Jones provide the Bucks with a 21-7 cushion. The first of two Aidan Schneider field goals cut the halftime deficit to 21-10 before a 70-yard scoring toss from Mariota to Byron Marshall gave the Ducks life early in the third quarter. An Arik Armstead fumble recovery led to Schneider’s second three-pointer and suddenly Oregon felt it’s first football national championship could be within its grasp. But Oregon’s inability to convert two other Buckeyes’ turnovers into points and Ohio State successfully keeping the football away from the Ducks’ high-powered offense in the second half proved to be the formula for victory. The winners were able to possess the football more than 16 minutes longer than Oregon over the course of of the game’s final 30 minutes. Making his final appearance in an Oregon uniform, Mariota came within a trio of completions from equalling his collegiate high, finishing the night 24-37 for 333 yards and two touchdowns. However Ohio State’s plan to limit Mariota’s effectiveness on the ground also proved to be a factor in its success. The program’s second-leading rusher was held to a per-carry average of only 3.9 yards-per-attempt as well as a long run of only 8 yards. A benficiary of Mariota’s passing prowess was Marshall. In the process of equalling his single-game personal-best eight catches for an all-time high169 yards, Marshall not only became the 10th player to eclipse 1,000 receiving yards in school history, he became the first in the conference record books to ever grab 1,000 receiving yards and run for 1,000 yards (2013).

OREGON BOWL TRADITION
2015 ROSE BOWL Oregon 59, Florida State 20 Jan. 1, 2015 Pasadena, Calif. Attendance: 91,322
PASADENA, Calif — Oregon Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota completed 26 of 36 passes for 338 yards and two touchdowns while accounting for an additional 62 yards and a third score on the ground to lead the second-ranked Ducks to a 5920 win over defending national champion Florida State to advance to the College Football Playoff championship game. The Ducks converted four consecutive second-half turnovers into touchdowns to expand a 25-20 third-quarter edge into a 39-point rout in a span of 12 minutes, 54 seconds. Oregon’s total points represented a Rose Bowl game record for most points scored by one team. The No. 3 Seminoles carried a string of 29-straight wins into the game in search of a second national championship in as many years, and remained within striking distance of Oregon’s high-powered offense through the first half. They threatend to regain the lead early in the second quarter after moving the ball down to the Ducks’ 7-yard line. But three tries from 1 yard out could net the Atlantic Coast Conference champions no closer to the end zone as Oregon answered with an 88-yard scoring drive and an Aidan Schneider 28yard field goal with just over 10 minutes remaining before halftime. The Ducks’ much-celebrated quick-strike offense took advantage of the opportunities presented by their defense in the final 30 minutes. Freshman running back Royce Freeman scored his second of two touchdowns of the day early in the third quarter, capping a 69-yard drive in only 1:32 following a Derrick Malone fumble recovery. After FSU quarterback Jameis Winston’s lone TD pass of the day, Oregon put the game away with five unanswered touchdowns. Redshirt freshman Darren Carrington hauled in scoring passes of 56 and 30 yards from Mariota before the defense struck the defining blow late in the third quarter. An overwhelming pass rush spun Winston around backwards before the football slipped out of his hands into the arms of the Ducks’ outside linebacker Tony Washington, who raced 58 yards for the defensive touchdown. Mariota and sophomore running back Thomas Tyner ended the scoring with TD runs of 23 and 21 yards in the first 5 minutes of the fourth quarter to provide Oregon with a single-season school record 13th win. Oregon’s offense racked up a Rose Bowl game record 639 yards of total offense while turning over the football only once. Additional Rose Bowl records eclipsed by the Ducks included most points scored in the third quarter (27) and second half (41), as well as the biggest winning margin in a non-shutout (39 points). An opportunistic defense forced seven Florida State fumbles while benefitting from five turnovers. Defensive backs Troy Hill and Reggie Daniels each accounted for nine tackles while Hill was responsible for a pair of passes broken up. The victory in the inaugural CFP semifinal assured the Ducks of their second national championship appearance in five seasons. They advance to the BCS title game in Glendale, Ariz., to conclude their 2010 season. 111

2013 ALAMO BOWL OREGON BOWL TRADITION
Oregon 30, Texas 7 Dec. 30, 2013 San Antonio, Texas Attendance: 65,918 SAN ANTONIO, Texas – It was an opportunistic defense which stole some of the thunder from the nationally-acclaimed Oregon offense as the 10th-ranked Ducks put Texas away in the fourth quarter in Mack Brown’s final game as the Longhorns’ head coach. Reminiscent of its bowl win from the previous year against Kansas State, Oregon struck early. Senior safety Avery Patterson jumped on an errant Case McCoy pass and returned the interception 37 yards for a touchdown only 68 seconds into the game before linebacker Derrick Malone capped the night with a 38-yard interception return that ended in the end zone to key the Ducks’ third post-season triumph in as many years. The defenders’ performance marked the fewest points the Green and Yellow had allowed in a bowl game since they dropped a 7-6 decision to Harvard in the 1920 Rose Bowl. It also fueled an 11th win for Head Coach Mark Helfrich, which not only represented a school record for most victories by a first-year head coach but also tied a conference record for most triumphs by a coaching newcomer with three others. The victory not only was satisfying to the Oregon faithful but was of particular delight to defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti with the way the win unfolded. Even though his departure was certainly overshadowed by that of Brown’s, Aliotti had announced his retirement the week of bowl preparations following 24 years in Eugene as a graduate assistant, outside linebackers coach and defensive coordinator. “That’s the first person I thought about when I caught the ball,” Patterson said of his interception on the Longhorns’ first possession. “I wanted to score for him,” said the game’s defensive MVP who added nine tackles. The Ducks held Texas to only 236 yards of total offense, with 79 of that coming on its lone touchdown drive of the evening midway through the opening quarter. McCoy capped the 7-minute drive with a 1-yard scoring plunge to cut the deficit to 10-7. But the remainder of the game was all Oregon as it limited the home-state opponent to only 80 yards of total offense in the second half. Buoyed by their teammates on the other side of the football, the Ducks’ offense displayed touches of efficiency as well as a quick-strike firepower that has been its trademark when operating on all cylinders. Behind a quarterback at close to full strength for the first time in almost two months, sophomore Marcus Mariota dazzled the second-largest crowd in Alamo Bowl history by accounting for 386 total yards to earn the game’s offensive MVP honors. Included was a game-high 133 yards rushing as he set the bowl game’s record for most rushing yards by a quarterback. The two-time first-team all-conference signal caller put Texas on notice early as he eluded the rush on Oregon’s second play from scrimmage to convert a potential loss into a 4-yard gain and a first down. He followed that by tallying 23 yards on the ground over his next two snaps as he ran for all but 1 yard of his final total in the first half. Perhaps the Ducks’ only disappointment was not reaching the end zone more often despite being in control the majority of the game. They capped their first drive with a 25-yard field goal from freshman Matt Wogan to grab a 10-0 advantage prior to the Longhorns mounting their lone scoring drive of the night. But Oregon responded in typical fashion by answering the challenge with a 10-play, 60-yard scoring drive of its own that ended with Wogan’s second of three field goals. 112
Just when it appeared the Ducks would be content taking a 6-point advantage going into the halftime locker room, their up-tempo attack kicked into high gear, beginning with Mariota’s 33-yard run from his team’s own 12-yard line. Six plays and 55 yards later, the 84-second drive ended with Mariota’s 16-yard touchdown pass to Josh Huff as the game suddenly took on an entirely different complexion. Texas’ switch of quarterbacks made little difference against an UO defense that looked to be on a mission. They held their counterparts to a season-low 56 yards through the air and not even a 130-yard rushing effort from Malcolm Brown would manage to mount much of a threat. Senior defensive lineman Taylor Hart concluded a workman-like career with 11 tackles and senior safety Brian Jackson added nine stops as the Ducks finished the year with 11 wins for only the fifth time in school history.

OREGON BOWL TRADITION
2012 ROSE BOWL Oregon 45, Wisconsin 38 Jan. 2, 2012 Pasadena, Calif. Attendance: 91,245 PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- Oregon’s incredible offense busted up Wisconsin and the record books on the way to the Ducks’ first Rose Bowl victory in 95 years. Darron Thomas passed for three touchdowns, De’Anthony Thomas scored on runs of 91 and 64 yards, and the No. 6 Ducks earned their first bowl victory under coach Chip Kelly, holding off Wisconsin 45-38 Monday night in the highest-scoring Rose Bowl ever played. And it wasn’t over until a video review confirmed the Badgers (11-3) ran out of time at the Oregon 25, out of timeouts and unable to spike the ball in time to stop the clock for a last-gasp fling. Lavasier Tuinei caught eight passes for 158 yards and two TDs for the Ducks (12-2), who had no postseason success to show for Kelly’s otherwise wildly successful three-year tenure until this landmark offensive performance in the 98th Rose Bowl. Oregon hadn’t won the West Coast’s biggest game since 1917. ``It’s been 95 years since you could say: Oregon Ducks, Rose Bowl champions,’’ Kelly said after the Ducks held Wisconsin scoreless in the fourth quarter. The Granddaddy of Them All had never seen this many points, beating the record 80 scored by Washington and Iowa in 1991. With the Ducks wearing mirrored helmets and playing at their usual frantic pace, Oregon racked up 621 total yards, just shy of the Rose Bowl record. Montee Ball rushed for 122 of his 164 yards in the first half for the Badgers (11-3), who lost the Rose Bowl for the second straight year despite managing 508 yards of their own. Ball tied Barry Sanders’ FBS record with his 39th touchdown of the season, while Russell Wilson passed for 296 yards and two scores. Wisconsin had two drives to tie it after Oregon kicked a field goal with 6:50 to play, but Jared Abbrederis fumbled near the Oregon sideline after making a long catch. The ball plopped onto the turf without even bouncing, and Oregon’s Michael Clay jumped on it with 4:06 left. The Badgers had burned two timeouts early in the second half, so Oregon was able to run the clock down to 23 seconds before punting. Wilson connected on two long passes, but the officials went to video review after the clock went to zeros as Wilson rushed his team to the Oregon 25 with 2 seconds left, waited for the ball to be set, then took the snap and spiked the ball. But the Badgers took too long. The officials ruled time had indeed expired, and the Ducks sprinted onto the field to the frenzied cheers of their outnumbered fans. The Ducks and Badgers produced the highest-scoring first quarter (14-14) and first half (28-28) in Rose Bowl history, eventually surpassing the 80 scored in Washington’s 46-34 win over Iowa in 1991. Oregon’s yardage fell just short of USC’s 633 yards against Illinois in 2008. Tuinei was named the offensive player of the game, but their flashiest star in those futuristic helmets was De’Anthony Thomas, the freshman from Los Angeles who showed off his electrifying athleticism on the longest scoring run in Rose Bowl history in the second quarter, going 91 yards up the middle. He added a mere 64-yard scoring run in the opening minute of the second half as Oregon won the matchup of the last two losers of the Rose Bowl. LaMichael James rushed for 159 yards and an early TD in his college finale for the Ducks, while De’Anthony Thomas finished with 155 yards. 114
Kenjon Barner also caught a TD pass from Darron Thomas. Abbrederis and Nick Toon caught TD passes for Wisconsin, and defensive end Louis Nzegwu returned a fumble 33 yards for a score in the second quarter. In the second half, the Ducks even slowed Ball. The Heisman Trophy finalist started strong in what’s likely his final college game, even hurdling Oregon safety John Boyett in what’s sure to be a big YouTube hit, but he had just three carries for no yards in the fourth quarter.

OREGON BOWL TRADITION
2011 BCS CHAMPIONSHIP Auburn 22, Oregon 19 Jan. 10, 2011 Glendale, Ariz. Attendance: 78,603 GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Three points, a few timely plays and mere ticks on the scoreboard clock were all that stood between Oregon and its first national championship as a 19-yard Auburn field goal with no time remaining sealed its fate with a 22-19 setback. After the Ducks had pulled within a 19-19 tie with 2:23 remaining in regulation, the Tigers mounted a 73-yard drive keyed by a Michael Dyer 37-yard run that appeared to be stopped following a short 5-yard gain at the Auburn 45-yard line. However the freshman running back alertly kept his knee from touching the turf after rolling over Oregon defensive back Eddie Pleasant and continued downfield before he was finally brought him down 23 yards shy of the end zone. The Southeastern Conference champions proceeded to the milk the remaining seconds off the clock before Wes Byrum drilled the football through the uprights from 19 yards out as time expired for the win. For his effort, Dyer was voted Offensive Player of the Game after rushing for 143 yards. After LaMichael James’ first of two touchdowns gave the Ducks an 11-7 advantage with 10:58 left in the first half, Auburn ran off 12 unanswered points and held Oregon scoreless in the third quarter to appear to be in command in the waning moments of the game. But senior linebacker Casey Matthews punched the ball out of the arms of Tigers’ quarterback Cam Newton from behind and the Cliff Harris fumble recovery provided the Ducks with a final shot. Oregon wasted little time taking advantage of the opportunity, marching 55 yards in eight plays, as quarterback Darron Thomas capped the scoring drive with a 2-yard TD pass to James. Thomas’ pass to Jeff Maehl in the end zone was good for the two-point conversion as the sophomore signal caller connected on four of his career-high 27 completions during the crucial scoring drive. Included was a clutch 29-yard strike to D.J. Davis on fourth down to keep the game-tying drive alive. Oregon’s first-year starting quarterback also set a personal best with 363 passing yards and finished the year second on the school’s single-season charts in total offense (3,367) and touchdown passes (30), as well as fifth in passing yards (2,881) with the Ducks’ best output in 10 years. Following a scoreless opening quarter in which Auburn could muster only 21 yards of total offense, Oregon got onto the scoreboard first with a 26-yard field goal by Rob Beard. However in the game of near-misses, it was unable to make a bigger statement after forcing Auburn to punt two of the first three times it had the football and failing to capitalize on a 22-yard interception return by Harris. Starting the drive from its own 29-yard line, Oregon methodically drove downfield in the closing minutes of the first quarter before a 12-yard completion to Davis spotted the football 3 yards shy of the end zone. But Thomas was trapped for a 6-yard loss by Auburn’s Nick Fairley on third down as the Ducks settled for three points instead of seven. The Tigers’ ensuing drive appeared to be halted before Harris’ apparent second interception of the night was ruled to be out of bounds. On the very next play, Newton connected with Kodi Burns for a 35-yard scoring strike to pull the eventual winners in front, 7-3. That lead lasted for only 62 seconds as Oregon responded four plays later with an 8-yard scoring toss from Thomas to James. The drive was fueled by an 81-yard completion to Maehl - the longest pass/catch in BCS Championship history. As was the case all year, Oregon was unwilling to settle for the conventional point-after-touchdown as Beard scored his second two-point conversion of the year to provide the Ducks with a four-point margin. Oregon looked to have a chance to take control of the game on the next series with its defense denying Auburn to penetrate the goal line on three plays inside the 3-yard line, including fourth-and-goal from the 1. But after a 9-yard completion to Kenjon Barner was nullified by a motion penalty, James was unable to break free of the end zone on the next play for a safety. Following the free kick, Auburn was able to take advantage of a trio of carries by Dyer for 19 yards and three Newton completions - the last to Emory Blake for a 30-yard score - for a 16-11 halftime lead.

Newton almost single-handedly got his team on the scoreboard to open the third period, personally accounting for 55 (16 rush, 39 pass) of the 60 yards on the scoring drive, but again the Oregon defense held their opponents to a field goal after the Tigers maneuvered a first down inside the red zone. But again the Oregon offense, which was held to a season-low 75 yards rushing, was unable to take full advantage of the opportunity after Auburn grabbed its largest lead of the night. The Ducks were forced to punt on their ensuing series after moving the football as close as the opponent’s 37-yard line. The next time they had the ball, Barner was denied on fourth down from 1-yard out after Oregon earned a first down from the 3. Despite being held to a season-low 49 yards on the ground, James completed the year with the school’s single-season rushing record (1,731 yards) in addition to moving into third on Oregon’s career scoring list (228 points). For the second BCS game in as many years, Boyett led his teammates in tackles (11) as the Ducks completed 2010 with their most wins ever in one year (12).

OREGON BOWL TRADITION
2010 ROSE BOWL Ohio State 26, Oregon 17 Jan. 1, 2010 Pasadena, Calif. Attendance: 93,963 PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- Ohio State’s bowl woes are over, thanks to a sturdy defense and a quarterback who finally played up to his enormous potential. Terrelle Pryor passed for a season-high 266 yards and two touchdowns, rushed for 72 more and threw a 17-yard scoring pass to DeVier Posey with 7:02 to play, ending the No. 8 Buckeyes’ three-game BCS skid with a 26-17 victory over No. 7 Oregon in the Rose Bowl on Friday. Posey had eight catches for 101 yards, and Brandon Saine caught an early TD pass for the Buckeyes (11-2), who put together a remarkably fluid offensive performance in their first trip to Pasadena since 1997. That offense relied on Pryor, the sophomore quarterback who has had a hard time matching his enormous hype. With a Rose Bowl effort that evoked memories of Vince Young’s breakout performance in the same stadium four years ago, Pryor shook off his early mistakes and led the Buckeyes confidently through a tense fourth quarter. ``I just wanted to lead the team as best I can,’’ Pryor said. ``The defense helped out a lot.’’ Indeed, Ohio State’s defense did much of the work, largely reducing the Ducks’ high-flying, no-huddle offense to ineffectiveness. Jeremiah Masoli passed for just 81 yards, while LaMichael James rushed for 70 - but a series of big plays and kick returns by Kenjon Barner kept the 96th Rose Bowl close until Pryor took control of the final minutes. ``We have an up-tempo defense and they run, they hit and they prepare,’’ coach Jim Tressel said. ``Terrelle did a heck of a job.’’ Oregon (10-3) made a remarkable comeback from its season-opening loss to Boise State to win its first Pac-10 title since 2001, but the Ducks haven’t won the Rose Bowl since the game’s third edition in 1917, back when the Granddaddy of Them All was a toddler. Masoli’s 1-yard TD run put Oregon up 17-16 early in the third quarter, but the Ducks’ powerful offense never scored again. Oregon ran for 179 yards, the second-most allowed by Ohio State this season, but the Ducks were one-dimensional. Oregon, in its first Rose Bowl since 1995, had scored at least 37 points in its previous six games. Pryor’s career at Ohio State has been about his inadequacies as much as his strengths, and he has been hammered by critics in the Big Ten and elsewhere for numerous flaws in his game. Yet with Ohio State nursing a two-point lead in the fourth quarter, he took charge during a 13-play, 81-yard drive eating up more than six minutes - part of the Buckeyes’ 41:37 total time-of-possession advantage. Pryor converted a third-and-13 play near midfield with about nine minutes to play on a remarkable 26-yard catch by tight end Jake Ballard, who leaped high to snatch it. After another third-down conversion, Posey made an impressive TD catch, turning both directions and snagging Pryor’s pass away from his body before tumbling over the goal line. After Oregon’s Morgan Flint missed a 44-yard field goal, Pryor drove the Buckeyes one more time, finishing with emphasis by gaining a first down with a 12yard run right after Oregon called its final timeout. ``We knew everything they were going to do, with their blitzes,’’ Pryor said. ``I just wanted to come out and show I can be a complete quarterback.’’ LeGarrette Blount scored an early touchdown for the Ducks, but the oncesuspended tailback also fumbled out of the end zone in the third quarter, ending a potential scoring drive. Blount made an impressive 3-yard scoring run on his first play in the second quarter, clambering over three defenders and knocking off Buckeyes captain Doug Worthington’s helmet before stretching the ball over the goal line. The cheers Blount received on the way on and off the field highlighted a tumultuous season for the bruising tailback, who was suspended for eight games after punching a Boise State player in frustration after the Ducks’ season-opening loss. Ohio State marched 19 plays for a short field goal 1:05 before halftime, and
116
Ross Homan’s 20-yard interception return moments later put the Buckeyes in position for long-injured kicker Aaron Pettrey’s 45-yard field goal at the gun, putting the Buckeyes up 16-10. Barner’s big kickoff return to open the second half set up a 38-yard scoring drive finished by Masoli’s keeper. Ohio State went back ahead with its fourth field goal before Blount and Pryor traded turnovers. The crowd appeared to be an even split between scarlet-clad Buckeyes faithful and yellow-and-green Oregon fans who reveled in the postcard-perfect weather in Arroyo Seco well before kickoff. When dusk fell early in the fourth quarter, the nearby mountains lit up with a surreal red-orange glow, setting off hundreds of camera flashes in the crowd. Ohio State Oregon

OREGON BOWL TRADITION
2008 HOLIDAY BOWL Oregon 42, Oklahoma State 31 Dec. 30, 2008 San Diego, Calif. Attendance: 59,106 SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Jeremiah Masoli and Oregon were a perfect fit for the high-scoring Holiday Bowl. Masoli ran through and over Oklahoma State’s defense for three touchdowns and threw for another to lead the No. 17 Ducks to a 42-31 win over the No. 13 Cowboys in a wild, record-setting Holiday Bowl on Tuesday night. Masoli, a junior college transfer, quickly moved up from No. 3 on the depth chart this season due to injuries. He was recruited because coach Mike Bellotti thought he’d be a great passer, then proved to be quite the runner. “He’s a tough son of a gun,” Bellotti said. “He’s faster than most people think and he’s stronger and more difficult to take down. And he ran over and around and through people today.” Masoli scored on option keepers of 1, 41 and 17 yards in the third quarter, then threw a 20-yard scoring pass to Jaison Williams in the fourth quarter. Masoli ran over OSU free safety Quinton Moore on his 41-yard jaunt. There were big runs, big passes and big hits in a game showcasing two of the nation’s most prolific offenses, both of which feature the spread option led by running QBs. Oregon gained 565 yards and OSU had 469. Oregon finished 10-3, the fourth time it’s had double-digit wins in Bellotti’s 14 seasons as coach. Oklahoma State finished 9-4 under Mike Gundy, the winning quarterback for Oklahoma State in the 1988 Holiday Bowl. The Holiday Bowl has a history of wild finishes, and this one had five lead changes in the second half. Oregon’s LeGarrette Blount put an exclamation point on the victory with a 29-yard touchdown run during which he hurdled Moore and stiff-armed cornerback Perrish Cox with 3 minutes to play. With the Ducks trailing 17-7, Walter Thurmond returned the second-half kickoff 91 yards to the 3. Masoli scored his first TD two plays later. “It gave us a lot of juice and momentum,” Masoli said. “We made our adjustments and came back on fire.” Masoli said the Ducks adjusted to the Cowboys’ coverage, changed their blocking assignments “and that’s what opened it up.” Masoli gained 106 yards on 16 carries. He completed 18 of 32 passes for 258 yards. Oregon’s Jeremiah Johnson ran 12 times for 119 yards, including a 76-yard TD that eclipsed one of Barry Sanders’ Holiday Bowl records. Blount’s 74 yards on seven carries gave him 1,002 yards for the season. He and Johnson became the second duo in school history to each have 1,000 or more yards. Johnson finished with 1,201 yards. “They were much more physical than us in the second half,” Gundy said. “We were not able to overcome that.” Oregon and Oklahoma State each erased records from that Holiday Bowl 20 years ago, when Sanders, the Heisman Trophy winner, ran for 222 yards and five TDs in a 62-14 romp over Wyoming. Johnson’s 76-yard touchdown run in the first quarter eclipsed Sanders’ 67yard TD in 1988 as the longest run from scrimmage in the Holiday Bowl. Johnson took an inside handoff and seemed bottled up, but worked his way to the left sideline, where he picked up three blocks on his way to the end zone. Oklahoma State wide receiver Dez Bryant set Holiday Bowl records with 13 catches for 167 yards, among them a 33-yard TD that gave the Cowboys a 10-0 lead in the first quarter. The 13 catches were a career high for Bryant, who twice was forced out of the game with a knee injury. The old Holiday Bowl records were 11 catches by BYU’s David Mills in 1984 and Texas’ Roy Williams in 2001, and 163 yards by Oklahoma State’s Hart Lee Dykes in 1988. “We lose some when Dez is not in there,” Gundy said. “But we have some players who we expect to step up and make plays. ... We just weren’t effective enough running the ball in the second half. They were more physical than us.” Bryant said the outcome “probably would have been different” if he hadn’t been injured. Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson took a few big hits yet threw for
117
329 yards, completing 27 of 50 passes, and ran 16 times for 54 yards and a score. Oregon trailed 17-7 at halftime but came back on Masoli’s first two scoring runs to go ahead 21-17 by midway through the third quarter. Oklahoma State’s Kendall Hunter answered with his second TD of the game, from 4 yards, before Masoli scored again. The Cowboys took their last lead, 3128, when Robinson scored on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Masoli’s TD pass to Williams gave the Ducks the lead for good, 35-31. The Ducks dedicated the win to Todd Doxey, a redshirt freshman from San Diego who drowned last summer in Oregon’s McKenzie River. “We talked about being here to start the season with a funeral and being here at the end to honor his memory the best way we could, which was to play well and win the football game,” Bellotti said. “I think Todd is with us here today.” Oklahoma State Oregon

OREGON BOWL TRADITION
2007 SUN BOWL Oregon 56, South Florida 21 Dec. 31, 2007 El Paso, Texas Attendance: 49,867 EL PASO, Texas (AP) -- Jonathan Stewart set a Sun Bowl record with a career-high 253 yards rushing and Justin Roper threw four touchdown passes in his first start as Oregon beat South Florida 56-21. The Ducks (9-4) scored 28 straight points in the third quarter to snap a four-game postseason losing streak, their first bowl win since beating Colorado 38-16 in the Fiesta Bowl after the 2001 season. Oregon made it look easy against the Bulls (9-4), who boasted one of the nation’s better defenses. Credit the steady play by Roper, a redshirt freshman, and Stewart, as smooth a runner as you’ll find. The Ducks won for the first time since losing quarterback Dennis Dixon to a knee injury in November, snapping a three-game losing streak the killed their national title hopes. How easy was it for the Ducks? They won a matchup of teams that’d been ranked No. 2 in the nation earlier this season handily, despite setting a Sun Bowl record with 138 penalty yards. Roper started the scoring avalanche with a 14-yard TD strike to Jaison Williams and added a 15-yard scoring pass to Ed Dickson. On the next play from scrimmage, Walter Thurmond stepped in front of a pass by South Florida’s Matt Grothe and returned it 25 yards for another TD, giving the Ducks a 39-14 lead midway through the third. But these hard-hitting Quackers weren’t finished. Grothe had another interception on the ensuing possession, the first of two for Oregon’s Jairus Byrd, setting up Roper’s 8-yard TD pass to Stewart. On that drive, Stewart got free on a 16-yard gain, breaking the previous Sun Bowl record of 197 yards rushing set in 1977 by LSU’s Charles Alexander in a 2414 loss to Stanford. Just like that, Oregon’s 18-14 halftime lead had swelled to 46-14. For good measure, Matt Evensen added a 30-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter and defensive end Michael DiVincenzo returned an interception for a touchdown with 3:23 remaining. Roper opened the season fifth on the depth chart and ran the scout team until a series of quarterback injuries - none more devastating than the loss of Dixon, a Heisman Trophy hopeful - reshaped the Oregon roster. Coach Mike Bellotti gave Roper the start over Cody Kempt, another redshirt freshman. Roper responded by tying a Sun Bowl record with four TD passes and finished 17-of-30 for 180 yards passing with no interceptions. Stewart was just as impressive. He broke a 71-yard TD run late in the second quarter, greeted by an enormous hole off left tackle as he raced untouched to the end zone to give the Ducks an 18-11 lead. Stewart kept the momentum going after the break. His 41-yard run on Oregon’s first drive of the second half set up Roper’s second TD pass for a 25-14 lead, and he logged the ninth-best rushing effort in a bowl game. There was no sign of the turf toe injury that slowed Stewart earlier this season, when Oregon dropped from the national title chase. South Florida, which reached No. 2 in the country in just its 11th season playing football, missed a chance to win 10 games for the first time.

Grothe left late in the third after being tackled while scrambling. The 49,867 fans were treated to lots of penalty flags. The teams combined to break the Sun Bowl record for total penalty yardage - 202 penalty yards - and it wasn’t even halftime when the old mark fell.

John Beck passed for 375 yards and two touchdowns and Curtis Brown ran for 120 yards and two TDs, leading No. 19 BYU to its tenth straight win to end the year. Jonny Harline, voted MVP after the game, caught nine passes for 181 yards and Justin Robinson intercepted two passes for BYU (11-2), which shut out the Ducks (7-6) through three quarters. Oregon lost its fourth in a row and was never close after BYU scored 17 points in the second quarter. The Ducks had just 120 yards of offense through three quarters and didn’t score until Brian Paysinger caught a 47-yard pass from Dennis Dixon with 10:27 left in the game. The Ducks added a two-point conversion, but that still only cut the lead to 31-8. BYU recovered the ensuing onside kick and scored 1:13 later on a 17-yard pass from Beck to Manase Tonga. Beck also ran for a 13-yard score that put BYU ahead 31-0 early in the fourth quarter. The Ducks allowed two sacks on their first series and Brady Leaf and Dixon combined to throw for 166 yards. Both threw an interception and Oregon finished with 260 yards of offense and lost its fourth straight bowl game. The teams played in front of the largest crowd in stadium history, breaking the previous high of 42,075 fans for UNLV’s game against Wisconsin in 2002. Beck opened the game slowly, but had four passes in the hands of his receivers that were dropped. Beck started focusing more on Harline and it paid off with a field goal and two touchdowns in the second quarter. They connected on a 41-yard pass in the second quarter that put BYU ahead 17-0, then Brown scored on a 4-yard run just before halftime and BYU led 24-0. After getting stuck at their own 2 on a punt, Beck completed a 17-yard pass to Harline on first down to get the Cougars out of trouble quickly. BYU drove for Jared McLaughlin’s 24-yard field goal that put the Cougars up 3-0, then BYU drove 71 yards on its next possession for another score. BYU Oregon BYU BYU BYU BYU BYU UO BYU

An Oklahoma interception deep in its own territory with just over 30 seconds left to play put an end to an Oregon comeback and preserved the Sooners’ Holiday Bowl win. Sophomore quarterback Brady Leaf came off the bench midway through the fourth quarter to rally the Ducks from a 17-7 deficit, completing a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Tim Day with 3:30 remaining in the game to pull Oregon within striking distance. Trailing by only three points, the Ducks’ defense held the Big 12 Conference South Division runners-up to three plays and a punt while taking over control of the football on its own 22-yard line with 3:04 left on the clock. Completions of six and 37 yards to running back Terrence Whitehead and a 19-yard pass to freshman running back Jeremiah Johnson positioned Oregon with a chance for its first win over the Sooners in six tries. But rather than play for a game-tying field goal, Leaf’s pass to Demetrius Williams inside the Oklahoma 10-yard line couldn’t elude linebacker Clint Ingram’s leap as Oregon fell short in the post-season for the third straight time. After struggling in two first-half drives and a third to start the second half, Leaf rebounded to complete 11 of 18 passes for 118 yards in the final 7:13 of the game. In addition, the Oregon defense, led by senior linebacker Anthony Trucks, held the Sooners to only 42 yards of total offense in the final quarter. Trucks completed his career with a game-high 14 tackles, along with one fumble recovery as well as a forced fumble, to be awarded the bowl’s defensive player of the game. But it was a sluggish third quarter that put the Ducks in a bind as Oklahoma controlled the football for just over 10 minutes of the period and capped two of its four drives with touchdowns. Oregon opened the game strong as starting quarterback Dennis Dixon accounted for 72 of its 116 total yards from the game’s first two drives, yet the Ducks could convert the prosperity into only seven points en route to a 7-3 halftime advantage. Dixon completed eight of 12 passes for 89 yards in the opening 15 minutes. Oregon Oklahoma OU UO OU OU UO

The Gophers won the see-saw battle with 23 seconds left when kicker Rhys Lloyd booted a 42-yard field goal on a ball tipped by senior defensive tackle Junior Siavii at the line. The Ducks had taken a 30-28 lead on a 47-yard field goal by Jared Siegel with 4:16 to play before Minnesota (10-3) drove 55 yards on its ensuing possession to set up Lloyd’s winner. The Ducks used two of their timeouts in the final minute to give the offense and quarterback Kellen Clemens one last chance, but the sophomore starter was intercepted with 10 seconds remaining. Clemens ended with career highs in completions (32), attempts (42) and yards (363), as well as matching one Sun Bowl record with three touchdowns and claiming another pinnacle with a 76.2% completion percentage. Samie Parker ended as game MVP after the school’s single-game record-holder broke bowl records for catches (16), yards (200) and touchdown catches (two). Minnesota, which had ranked third nationally in rushing (293.2 avg.), dominated the ground stats with 241 yards on 55 carries. Laurence Maroney led ballcarriers with 15 carries for 135 yards and a TD for Minnesota, and Thomas Tapeh added three scores. The game opened with a scoreless first quarter, but the teams combined for a bowl-record 31 points in the second period. Clemens opened the scoring with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Dante Rosario with less than a minute elapsed. Siegel hit a season-high three field goals (30, 32 and 47) to earn top special teams honors while Siavii was honored as the game’s top lineman. Minnesota Oregon UO UM UO UM UO UO UO UM UO UO UM

Attempts to rebound from a disappointing last half of its regular season proved futile as big plays and a ball-control offense contributed to Oregon’s first post-season setback in four tries. After jumping onto the scoreboard first via a Jared Siegel field goal, the Ducks were unable to secure their second first down of the game until staring at a 14-3 deficit in Seahawks Stadium. Despite completing only nine passes, Wake Forest’s offense took advantage of maintaining possession of the football for 34:34 while scoring on two of four plays longer than 30 yards to account for a second bowl win over Oregon in 11 years. Redshirt freshman quarterback Kellen Clemens came off the bench to replace Jason Fife to open the second quarter — responding with his first touchdown pass as a collegian in his most extensive play to date — and helped the Ducks bounce back from an 18-point deficit. A 43-yard Keenan Howry punt return, followed by the school’s career receiving leader’s 36-yard run, led to Matt Floberg’s lone scoring run of the year to close the gap to 24-17 late in the third quarter. Yet the Oregon offense was unable to take advantage of the momentum as it was limited to only two more first downs the remainder of the afternoon. Linebackers David Moretti and Kevin Mitchell led the defense with 17 and 15 tackles, respectively, while George Wrighster’s five catches propelled him to the top of the school’s list for most single-season catches by a tight end ever (41).

Joey Harrington threw for four touchdowns and Steve Smith intercepted a bowlrecord three passes as No. 2 Oregon pounded No. 3 Colorado in the 31st Fiesta Bowl. Heisman Trophy finalist Harrington became the first Pac-10 quarterback to lead his team to three bowl wins, and ended his career third at Oregon in passing yards (6,911) and touchdowns (59). After a first-quarter Buffalo touchdown, the Ducks scored 38 consecutive points. The game’s offensive MVP led the charge with a 28-yard scoring strike to Keenan Howry and a season-long 79-yard TD pass to Samie Parker on subsequent drives. The latter marked Oregon’s longest scoring play in bowl history and tied for the longest pass in Fiesta Bowl history. On the ground, Maurice Morris brought the crowd to its feet in the second half with a dazzling 49-yard touchdown scamper though a half-dozen would-be tacklers, as he rolled off the back of another. His 89 rushing yards at game’s end also made him the first back in Oregon history to run for 1,000 yards in consecutive seasons (1,049). Freshman kicker Jared Siegel also booted a career-long 47-yard field goal early in the fourth quarter. Colorado tried its luck in the air in the second half, and salvaged a couple of late scores to avoid the biggest defeat in Fiesta Bowl history. The Duck defense held the Buffalo rushers to a combined 49 yards — far below their previous 228.5 avg. that ranked eighth nationally. Wesly Mallard and Dave Moretti led the Duck defenders with 13 and 11 tackles, respectively, while Smith earned the game’s top defensive award. Oregon Colorado CU UO UO UO UO UO UO CU CU

The Oregon defense limited Texas to only 88 yards total offense in the second half while denying the 12th-ranked Longhorns access to the end zone on their final three possessions of the game to cap the Ducks’ first 10-win season in school history. Quarterback Joey Harrington became only the third player in Holiday Bowl history to run, pass and be on the receiving end of a touchdown toss in the same game as he helped ignite Oregon’s fourth-quarter comeback for the fifth time of the season. For his efforts, he was named offensive player of the game. The Pac-10 co-champions relied on big plays to grab a 14-0 advantage in the opening 13 minutes, but were fortunate to trail by only 21-14 after a blocked punt with 1:11 remaining before the half. However defensive back Ryan Mitchell initiated the momentum swing with his team’s second of four interceptions. Tailback Maurice Morris knotted the score at 21-21 with his longest scoring reception of the season while Allan Amundson came off the bench to set up a goahead score with his longest run of his career (36 yards) to provide a brief edge. After Texas returned the ensuing kickoff into the end zone, Oregon put together an eight-play, 68-yard drive for the winning tally but couldn’t rest easy until the final pass fell incomplete in the end zone. Cornerback Rashad Bauman halted one drive with an interception at the Ducks’ 16-yard line with just over a minute remaining to play to go along with his six tackles to earn defensive player-of-the-game honors. Outside linebacker Garrett Sabol led all tacklers with 12 stops. Texas Oregon UO UO UT UT UT UO UO UT UO UT

Joey Harrington completed a 10-yard scoring pass to Keenan Howry with only 1:32 remaining to play to lead Oregon to the Pac10’s lone post-season triumph in five tries. No. 12 Minnesota grabbed a 20-17 advantage on the first play of the final period with its third touchdown pass of the afternoon before the Ducks came from behind in the closing minutes for the fourth time this season. Harrington, who remained unbeaten in his fourth career start, waited until 7:28 remained on the clock before engineering Oregon’s longest scoring drive of the season, capping a 12-play, 87-yard drive in 5:56 with his lone touchdown toss of the day. The Portland sophomore, who had previously run for a pair of scores, connected on four of five aerials on the decisive series, including a fourth-down strike for 23 yards to Tony Hartley to keep the drive alive. Yet it wasn’t until a Dietrich Moore quarterback sack and Saul Patu fumble recovery that the Ducks could breathe easier. The Ducks’ defense limited the nation’s 11th-ranked rushing offense to only 96 yards, while the Oregon offense wore down an opposition that tied for eighth in the country in scoring defense. Peter Sirmon led all Oregon defenders with 16 tackles while Moore and Matt Smith each took part in two quarterback sacks. Michael Fletcher picked off one of two interceptions and added a 16-yard punt return to set up Oregon’s 37-yard field goal. Minnesota Oregon UM UO UM UO UO UM UO

Oregon’s 22-point fourth-quarter rally was not enough to overcome a season-high six turnovers and opponent’s big plays as it dropped its second post-season bid to the Buffaloes in four years. Colorado returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a score to pace a 17-point first-quarter outburst in a game that established a Pac-10 post-season record for most total points by two teams. Trailing 44-14 midway through the third quarter, the Ducks converted four of their next five drives into touchdowns before a fourth-down pass from Akili Smith to Bobby Nero fell incomplete with only 2:19 remaining in the game. Smith capped a brilliant senior season by throwing for the fourth-highest singlegame total in school history, earning the game’s co-MVP honors. Tailback Derien Latimer, making only his fourth start of the year, tied an Aloha Bowl record by running for three scores as Oregon accumulated 308 yards total offense in the second half against a squad which ended the year ranked 13th in the country in total defense (296.0 avg.). Smith struggled to complete only eight of 21 passes in the first half before returning to form to pinpoint 16 of 25 aerials for 290 yards in the final 30 minutes. Wide receivers Damon Griffin and Donald Haynes became the school’s first tandem in two years to each accumulate better than 100 yards receiving. The Ducks’ defense played deceivingly well, led by senior linebacker Chris Vandiver’s 15 tackles. Colorado was limited to 130 yards of offense in the second half.

An explosive Oregon offense put together its most potent display of the year while a maligned defense stuffed the nation’s ninthbest rushing attack to pace its first post-season triumph in eight years over 23rd-ranked Air Force. The Ducks tallied touchdowns on their first two plays from scrimmage and ate up less than a minute off the clock on each of their five offensive touchdowns. Pat Johnson accounted for his first of two scores on a bomb from Akili Smith to open the barrage and Saladin McCullough rambled for his longest run as a collegian to help seize the early momentum. Meanwhile, an inspired defense which came into the game yielding over 440 yards per game, dismantled the Falcons’ option attack and limited them to a season-low 211 yards total offense. The Ducks’ defenders were so dominating that they refused to allow the cadets to cross midfield until the second quarter and thwarted a second attempt into Oregon territory with a Jaiya Figueras interception. Adding to the team victory was a blocked punt by true freshman Garrett Sabol midway through the second period, resulting in a Kevin Parker recovery in the end zone and a 19-0 Oregon lead. The victors accumulated 313 of their season-high 583 yards total offense during the game’s first 30 minutes against a contingent ranked third in the country in scoring defense (12.4 avg.) and 10th in total defense (289.3 avg.) Jason Maas came off the bench to throw for three touchdowns and scrambled for 28 yards that kept a drive alive before concluding with Tony Hartley’s score 28 seconds before halftime. Yet it was Johnson who was named the games most valuable player after accumulating 272 all-purpose yards. Peter Sirmon ended the day with 11 tackles and Michael Fletcher added nine as the defenders limited Air Force to only three first downs and 92 yards total offense in the second half.

Oregon’s inability to capitalize on some early scoring opportunities proved costly and the seventh-ranked Buffaloes were able to break the game open with a few big plays of their own in the third quarter as the Ducks again returned home empty from their second straight New Year’s Day bowl appearance. At times it appeared the Ducks almost had as much trouble navigating the unfavorable weather conditions as it did the Colorado defense, which held Oregon to 139 yards under its total offensive average, but that couldn’t account for the five turnovers which directly led to a trio of Colorado touchdowns. No one miscue had a bigger effect on the game’s outcome as a 95-yard interception return for a second-quarter score after junior quarterback Tony Graziani had driven the Ducks to the nine-yard line. Pacific-10 Conference all-purpose running leader Ricky Whittle returned the opening kickoff 63 yards to the Colorado 26-yard line but the Ducks were unable to advance beyond the eight-yard line and were forced to settle for a Joshua Smith field goal. Moments later, linebacker Rich Ruhl picked off a John Hessler pass to present Oregon with another golden opportunity but another stalled drive resulted in the Ducks’ 33-yard three-pointer. Little was it known that 12th-ranked Oregon would be able to penetrate the 20-yard line only once more prior to the closing seconds of the contest. The Ducks’ defense proved to be up to the task against the nation’s sixth-best offense, providing the offense with field position inside the midfield stripe two more times after taking a 6-0 lead and kept Oregon within striking distance at halftime. But a 19-point explosion in the third quarter in less than eight minutes proved to be too much to overcome. Oregon’s defenders were victimized by a 62-yard pass play and another 55yard run to set up a pair of scores and account for almost half of Colorado’s 313 offensive yards. Sophomore Kenny Wheaton added his fifth interception of the year and cornerback Ronnie Gipson recovered one fumble for a unit paced by Troy Bailey’s and Brian Collins’ seven tackles.

Jan. 2, 1995 Pasadena, Calif. Attendance: 102,247 Oregon wasn’t satisfied with just advancing to the Rose Bowl, not intimidated by facing an unbeaten opponent supposedly armed with the best offense in history nor awed by the largest crowd ever to watch the Ducks play football. And, when it was over, Oregon proved it truly belonged in Pasadena. The Ducks represented its league for the first time in 37 years in the post-season game reserved for the champion and no Pacific-10 Conference sympathizer was embarrassed to have Oregon as its emissary. The Ducks’ offense pushed second-ranked Penn State around for 501 yards and its defense lived up to its advance billing. It was Oregon’s resolve that was tested when All-America tailback Ki-Jana Carter streaked 83 yards on Penn State’s first offensive play to saddle the Ducks with an early 7-0 deficit. It didn’t take Oregon long to knot the score and senior quarterback Danny O’Neil’s second touchdown pass of the day brought the Ducks back to a 14-14 stalemate following linebacker Reggie Jordan’s interception of Penn State quarterback Kerry Collins. Oregon’s offense was not appreciably scuttled throughout the game. O’Neil contributed in some form to 13 Rose Bowl records, including individual marks for passes attempted and completed and yardage through the air. Penn State led the nation in offense with a 520-yard average, but was held below that figure by Gang Green, the acronym for Oregon’s aggressive defense. The Big Ten Conference champion scored all three second-half touchdowns after taking possession in Oregon territory. O’Neil’s record day resulted in tight end Josh Wilcox catching 11 passes and flanker Cristin McLemore 10 more. Penn State Oregon PSU UO PSU UO PSU PSU PSU PSU UO

Dec. 31, 1992 Shreveport, La. Attendance: 31,337 Oregon’s third consecutive post-season game went down to the wire, but Wake Forest wound up in the winner’s photo on the strength of a fourth-quarter stretch run in the first-ever meeting between the intersectional rivals. The Ducks appeared to be clicking on all cylinders for the game’s first 35 minutes, sprinting to a 29-10 advantage after Oregon’s defense scored for the second time during the warm afternoon. The Demon Deacons had been victimized by five turnovers and the Ducks had taken full benefit. Even though Wake Forest needed less than three minutes to post a 7-0 lead, Oregon scored 29 of the game’s next 32 points, taking the lead when cornerback Herman O’Berry picked the pocket of tailback Ned Moultrie and dashed 24 yards for the score. Oregon appeared to be cruising early in the second half. The Ducks realized no points from still another defensive gem by O’Berry, his seventh interception of the year, but cornerback Alex Molden duplicated it moments later and literally walked the eight yards to the end zone. However, the shift in momentum after that was dramatic. Oregon’s offense went dry and Wake Forest cruised to scores on four straight possessions to take control. Quarterback Danny O’Neil hit 24 of 40 passes for 227 yards, but the Ducks managed just 112 yards rushing and not many after Sean Burwell’s 40-yard scamper early in the game. O’Berry was honored as the game’s outstanding defensive player after two fumble recoveries and an interception. End Romeo Bandison also enjoyed an outstanding performance with two quarterback sacks and two other tackles for minus yardage among his six total tackles.

Dec. 29, 1990 Anaheim, Calif. Attendance: 41,450 Oregon’s two-point conversion attempt with just over one minute left in the game fell inches short to prevent consecutive rallies to post-season victories in the Ducks’ first-ever consecutive bowl trips. Mistakes haunted the Ducks throughout, exemplified by Colorado State’s five points to take the lead while limited to five yards and no first downs in the third quarter. Despite that, Oregon remained in position to win the game in the closing minutes behind the arm of quarterback Bill Musgrave, Oregon’s bowl MVP for the second straight year. Musgrave directed a 79-yard drive with the help of third-down completions of 31 and 21 yards to Joe Reitzug, culminating when freshman tailback Sean Burwell plunged for the score with 61 seconds left. But, Musgrave’s completed conversion pass to senior flanker Michael McClellan was stopped short of the end zone. Musgrave threw for the second-highest total in the Freedom Bowl’s sevenyear history and his record-tying 29 completions were one of the game’s 15 records set or tied by Oregon, which also included McClellan’s receptions and 46-yard kickoff return. However, the Ducks’ offense mustered only seven yards rushing and three fumbles, a muffed punt attempt and a costly penalty for roughing the passer led to 25 of the Rams’ 32 points. Oregon’s chance to win was made possible by Marcus Woods’ block of a Colorado State extra point with just under five minutes to play in front of a bowl-record 17,500 Oregon partisans. Sophomore inside linebacker Joe Farwell led the defense, accumulating 12 unassisted tackles among his game-high 15 stops. Colorado St. Oregon CSU UO UO CSU UO CSU CSU UO CSU CSU UO

Dec. 16, 1989 Shreveport, La. Attendance: 30,333 Junior quarterback Bill Musgrave directed Oregon to 17 points in the final 18 minutes and sophomore kicker Gregg McCallum provided the clincher with a 20-yard field goal with 3:07 remaining to rally the Ducks to victory in their first bowl appearance in 26 years. Trailing by 24-10 late in the third quarter, Musgrave capped a 54-yard scoring drive with his second touchdown pass of the night, a nine-yard strike to junior wide receiver Joe Reitzug. The bowl’s offensive player of the game completed five of six passes for 53 yards during the key drive. Musgrave then put the finishing touches on the Ducks’ next possession with the first rushing touchdown of his career to forge a 24-24 tie. Oregon’s defense played a major role in the comeback, limiting the golden Hurricane to 102 yards total offense in the second half and holding Tulsa on fourth down to set up McCallum’s winning field goal. Senior cornerback Chris Oldham picked off a pair of interceptions to earn defensive player of the game honors and linebacker Mark Kearns added 11 tackles to his one fumble recovery. Sophomore defensive end Matt LaBounty secured the 14th annual Independence Bowl victory with a 26-yard quarterback sack with 2:12 remaining. The error-prone Ducks dug themselves a 17-10 halftime deficit after Tulsa returned a blocked punt for a touchdown 22 seconds before the intermission. The Hurricane, who earlier had capitalized on a first-quarter Oregon interception, then scored on its second drive of the second half before Oregon was able to mount its resurgence in cold and windy conditions that dropped to 29 degrees at kickoff.

Oregon rode the arm of quarterback Bob Berry in the first half and then relied on its defense in the final two quarters to preserve the Ducks’ first bowl victory in 47 years in the 29th Sun Bowl contest. Playing without two-time All-American Mel Renfro due to a wrist injury, the nation’s fourth-ranked offense vaulted Oregon out to a 21-0 halftime advantage, thanks in part to a pair of H.D. Murphy interceptions. But it was the SMU offense which seized the limelight after the intermission, completing 17 of 28 passes in the final 30 minutes while the Mustangs’ defense limited the Ducks to only four first downs during that same span. Murphy set up Oregon’s first score with a 49-yard interception return in the first quarter, capped by Dennis Keller’s nine-yard run. Murphy’s second theft thwarted a potential SMU scoring drive on the Ducks’ three-yard line. Berry’s pinpoint spirals earned him the game’s most valuable player honors as he connected with Dick Imwalle and Paul Burleson for second-quarter scoring passes of 23 and 20 yards, respectively. Defensive back Ron Martin played a major role in the final touchdown, recovering a Mustang fumble at Oregon’s 36 before the Ducks’ junior signalcaller led his team into the end zone with less than a minute remaining before the half. Oregon’s defense was up to the task of slowing SMU’s comeback in the third quarter, halting drives at the two and 21-yard line. However, the Mustangs’ John Roderick caught a pair of touchdown passes in the final 10 minutes to keep his team’s hopes alive. The Ducks’ victory was finally secured when a SMU onside kick rolled out of bounds with 24 seconds to play. SMU Oregon UO UO UO SMU SMU

Penn State’s scoring barrages in the second and fourth quarter proved to be too much for the Ducks to overcome as the Nittany Lions successfully defended their Liberty Bowl title in the second-annual contest. Quarterback Dick Hoak didn’t appear to let the 30-degree temperatures and three-foot snowbanks along the sidelines bother him, running for two Penn State touchdowns and passing for a third to account for Oregon’s most decisive setback in five seasons. In addition, Hoak picked off a pair of errant Duck passes which led to the winner’s final two scores. Despite his heroics, it was Oregon’s Dave Grayson who came away with back of the game honors, rushing for 93 yards and adding 43 yards in receptions. Grayson accounted for 35 of the 88 yards on the Ducks’ opening scoring drive before completing the team’s third-quarter march with a 10-yard scoring run. Defensively, Grayson recovered a Nittany Lion fumble in the end zone to prevent a second consecutive Penn State score in the second quarter, but Penn State took advantage of an Oregon fumble to accumulate 14 points in the final 2:25 before the half. The Ducks threatened to make a game of it on Grayson’s scoring run to conclude the team’s second series after the intermission. However, Penn State mounted scoring drives the first three times it had the ball in the final period. Penn State Oregon UO PSU PSU PSU UO PSU PSU PSU

Oregon quarterback Jack Crabtree’s fourth-down pass to Ron Stover fell incomplete with 47 seconds remaining to allow Ohio State to avert one of the biggest upsets in the 44-year history of the New Year’s Day classic. The Ducks began their last-gasp effort against the nation’s No. 1-ranked Buckeyes from their own 17-yard line with 4:29 to play. A pass interference call, a 17-yard Crabtree pass to Stover and the Oregon field general’s six-yard run advanced the ball to the Ohio State 43 before the team’s final two attempts failed to move the ball closer to victory. Ohio State, which had captured the Big Ten Conference crown for the third time in four years, opened the game in convincing fashion, climaxing its 79yard drive with a one-yard run by quarterback Frank Kremblas. The Buckeyes’ lone touchdown drive was kept alive by a pair of key third-down conversions. The Ducks knotted the score at 7-7 early in the second quarter, Jim Shanley’s five-yard run capping an 80-yard march in 10 plays. Crabtree completed 10 to 17 passes for 135 yards to receive player of the game honors, becoming only the third player in the bowl’s history to earn that distinction playing for the losing team. In addition, Stover established a Rose Bowl record for most yards receiving by a Pacific Coast Conference participant. Despite the Buckeyes’ 34-yard field goal with 14:02 left, Oregon had its chances to pull off the upset. But, Jack Morris’ three-point try from the same spot hooked to the left at the 5:20 mark in the third quarter and the Ducks coughed up the ball on the winner’s 24-yard line following Crabtree’s 23-yard completion to Stover.

Oregon’s fourth-quarter rally fell short, despite quarterback Norm Van Brocklin completing six of 10 passes for 109 yards in the second half, as the Pacific Coast Conference co-champions were unable to defeat the winners of the Southwest Conference in the first meeting ever between the two schools. The combined running, passing and kicking exploits of SMU’s Kyle Rote and 1948 Heisman Trophy winner Doak Walker were too much to overcome. Rote ran for 93 yards and caught four passes for 55 yards while Walker completed six of 10 aerials for 79 yards and rushed for another 66. But it was the duo’s kicking exploits that inflicted the most first-half damage. The two-time All-America Walker pulled off a 79-yard quick kick to the Ducks’ one-foot line and Rote successfully duplicated the effort with an 84-yard boot rolling dead at the 12 in the second quarter. The Mustangs jumped on top from the outset, capping the game’s initial 73-yard drive with Walker’s one-yard run. George Bell’s interception later in the opening period and Dewayne Johnson’s second-quarter theft prevented further SMU damage. By the time Oregon was able to regroup around its veteran signal-caller, who became the school’s first player to pass for more than 1,000 yards in a single season, the Ducks faced a 14-0 deficit. Oregon scored its first touchdown early in the fourth quarter on a 24-yard pass to Dick Wilkins before SMU countered with its third score with 8:45 remaining. Van Brocklin’s 41-yard pass to Darrell Robinson set up the game’s final score by Bob Sanders two minutes later. SMU Oregon SMU SMU UO SMU UO

Skeet Manerud’s fourth-quarter 25-yard drop kick was ruled no good, allowing unbeaten Harvard to hang on to a 7-6 victory in the sixth-annual Tournament of Roses classic. Accounts of the game described the kick being so close that the scoreboard had already given Oregon credit for the successful attempt as Harvard players banged their helmets to the ground over the impending setback. The Ducks, coached by the school’s 1917 Rose Bowl hero Shy Huntington, lived and died by the toes of Manerud and second-team All-American Bill Steers as four other kicks either sailed wide of their mark or were blocked. After both teams had first-quarter drop kicks blocked, Steers got Oregon on the scoreboard early in the second quarter on a three-pointer from the 25-yard line. But the Crimson came roaring back behind quarterback Billie Murray, who first returned an Oregon punt 25 yards before completing a pair of passes to the Bowl’s player of the game, Eddie Casey, to set up a Fred Church’s 13-yard touchdown run. A 15-yard Harvard penalty later in the second period played a major role in the Ducks’ second three-pointer, Manerud’s successful 30-yard kick completing the day’s scoring. The Ducks’ third-quarter field goal attempt fell short before both teams had attempts blocked in the final 15 minutes. Oregon still possessed a golden opportunity to take the lead when it started its final drive on Harvard’s 18-yard line. The lack of a passing threat enabled Harvard to keep the offense out of the end zone en route to Oregon’s final ill-fated drop kick. The Crimson, which accumulated only nine first downs all afternoon, was then able to run out the clock before the final gun. The team amassed 272 yards on the ground, Hollis Huntington rushing for 122 yards in his third Rose Bowl in four years (he played for Mare Island in the 1918 contest. Harvard Oregon

Oregon All-American Shy Huntington turned in one of the more remarkable individual efforts in Rose Bowl history to lead the Ducks to victory over heavily favored Pennsylvania in the third-annual contest. The win marked a significant turning point in the laurels of American football as it was finally conceded that western football had achieved parity with the East Coast powers. The Quakers mustered the game’s first legitimate scoring threat midway into the second quarter. After recovering their own blocked kick, Penn utilized a series of power runs up the middle to move the ball to the three-yard line. Instead of continuing that successful pattern, the Ivy League champions chose to test the ends which resulted in a 10-yard loss by Oregon’s Bricks Mitchell. The ensuing 29-yard field goal was not only unsuccessful, but provided the Ducks with the momentum needed to win the game. Huntington’s first of three interceptions late in the third quarter set up the Ducks’ first score. The team moved from its own 30-yard line on a combination of passes to R.L. Tegert and Shy Huntington and Hollis Huntington and Orville Monteith runs. Shy capped the drive on the final play of the period with a 18yard touchdown pass to Tegert. Oregon’s clinching score in the fourth quarter was also keyed by a Huntington pass theft as Johnny Parsons broke loose for a 45-yard run on the next play from scrimmage to the one-yard line. Huntington sprinted to the corner of the end zone on the following play and added his second extra point to put the game out of reach. The contest came to a fitting conclusion when Huntington thwarted Pennsylvania’s final 79-yard drive by picking off his third pass of the afternoon (he had a fourth interception nullified because of a penalty) and the Ducks then ran out the clock four plays later. The elder Huntington was awarded back-of-the-game honors while team captain John Beckett was selected player of the game. In one of the few individual statistics available from the game, Huntington rushed 17 times for 69 yards. Oregon 0 Pennsylvania 0

Rob Mullens
ADMINISTRATION
Director of Athletics Eighth Year West Virginia University, 1991, ‘93 Rob Mullens has presided over one of the most successful eras in the University of Oregon’s history with Duck student-athletes setting milestone records both on the field and in the classroom. He has guided Oregon to consecutive top-10 finishes in the Directors’ Cup, including an all-time high of ninth place in 2016-17. The Directors’ Cup is a national assessment of an athletic department’s overall achievements, for the first time in school history. At the same time, Mullens has improved the Ducks’ academic standards to where the University now averages more than 100 academic all-conference selections annually. And just as important as the athletic and academic success, Oregon’s philosophy of fiscal efficiency during Mullens’ tenure has been recognized nationwide. The University is one of only a handful of institutions that is self-sufficient as the Oregon brand continues to grow. That is a direct reflection of our generous donors who continue to help us achieve important fundraising results. Those three pillars – student-athlete experience, academic excellence and broad-based competitive excellence – comprise the foundation of Mullens’ core beliefs as he oversees nearly 500 student-athletes and a budget of $110 million. Yet Mullens himself would tell you that it is the talented student-athletes, coaches and staff at the University of Oregon that are the department’s most valuable assets. Mullens was named the University’s 12th director of intercollegiate athletics on July 15, 2010, after arriving from the University of Kentucky, where he served as deputy director of athletics and managed day-to-day operations for Kentucky’s 22-sport athletics department, with an annual operating budget of $79 million. Since Mullens’ arrival in Eugene, the Duck football team has claimed three conference championship and played in the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship Game. The 2014-15 season saw the coronation of the University’s first-ever Heisman Trophy winner, Marcus Mariota, as the Ducks won the Pac-12 title and then defeated undefeated Florida State in the Rose Bowl semifinal game. The 2016-17 year will go down as one of the finest in school history. Oregon became the first college in the country to win the “triple crown” in women’s track and field and cross country. The Women of Oregon captured the 2016 cross country title by a single point, scored a record number of points in winning the indoor track and field title, and then pulled off a stunning comeback to win the outdoor track and field title on the final event. The men’s basketball team returned to the Final Four for the first time since 1939, while the women’s basketball team made the Elite Eight for the first time in school history. A year after winning it all, the men’s golf team had a thrilling run to the championship match after winning the Pac-12 title for the first time since 1959. Additionally in 2016-17, Oregon saw the softball team return to the College World Series, top-10 national finishes from acrobatics and tumbling, men’s cross country and men’s indoor and outdoor track and field, and NCAA Tournament appearances by volleyball, women’s golf and men’s and women’s tennis.

A year earlier after claiming championships in 2015-16 in men’s and women’s indoor track and field, the Ducks’ winning legacy was strengthened by the first-ever national championship for the men’s golf team, won on its home course in Eugene at Eugene Country Club. The Ducks claimed the team championship just a couple days after Aaron Wise won the individual national championship. Aided by the an Elite Eight appearance by the men’s basketball team and an NCAA quarterfinals finish for women’s golf, the Ducks’ three team championships helped carry them to a 10th-place Directors’ Cup finish, the highest in program history and the first ever top-10 finish. Oregon and Oklahoma are the only programs Division I athletics to win three or more NCAA team titles each of the last two years. Oregon also became the only athletic department in the nation to have won multiple NCAA team titles each of the last five academic years. In the history of the Directors’ Cup, Oregon is the only program with 19 or fewer NCAA sports to place among the top 15 nationally, a feat the Ducks have done six times. Oregon also ranked among the top 25 for an eighth time in nine years. Seventeen of the University’s 33 all-time national championships have been won in the last five years. Off the field, Mullens saw three-quarters of UO student-athletes earn degrees. All told, more than 100 student-athletes won academic allconference awards. Since the opening of the John E.
