Bend, but don t break. 聽 Those were the words that represented Oregon s resiliency when the Ducks saw themselves down 27-18 midway through the third quarter. The Ducks had given up 20 unanswered points to the Spartans midway through the game and it appeared as if the writing was on the wall as Oregon would lose to another bigger, more physical team.聽 It wouldn t be till the third quarter <a href=http://www.avanttravel.com/page.php?sale=Christian-Louboutin-Misfit>Christian Louboutin Misfit</a> when the Ducks answered back with a play that changed the momentum of the game. On third down and 11, Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota miraculously evaded a Michigan State defender and pitched the ball to running back Royce Freeman for a gain of 17 yards.
Once I saw Royce five, 10 yards down the field, I just thought he could get there faster than I could, Mariota said via Associated Press.聽
The drive later resulted in a 24-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Devon Allen and the Ducks went on to score 28 unanswered points to win the game. Oregon s defense answered any questions about its ability to play <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=True-Religion-Boyfriend>True Religion Mens Jeans</a> against the bigger teams. Linebacker Joe Walker and cornerback Troy Hill both recorded nine tackles and defensive linemen Arik Armstead recorded a crucial sack on third down in the fourth quarter for the Ducks.聽 But it was Ifo Ekpre-Olomu who had the defensive play of the game for the Ducks when he made a game-clinching interception midway through the fourth quarter.聽 On offense, Mariota finished the game with 318 passing yards and three passing touchdowns while Oregon freshman running back Royce Freeman ran for 89 yards and two touchdowns. The victory was Mariota and head coach Mark Helfrich s signature win thus far for the program as they look <a href=http://www.alportico.net/page.php?sale=Gucci-Horsebit>Gucci Mens Shoes</a> to continue their quest towards the College Football Playoff.聽 聽Photo Image: Ryan Kang/Daily Emerald The following two tabs change content below.
