EUGENE, Ore. — In a game of cat-and-mouse, Maryland football chased and chased but could not keep up with No. 1 Oregon, who continuously toyed with the Terps.
Nothing epitomized this more than the Ducks’ second drive of the second half. On fourth-and-3, defensive lineman Jordan Burch rushed for 36 yards on a fake punt, which was followed by a reverse flea flicker.
Once Oregon got into the red zone, the antics continued. Quarterback Dillon Gabriel found offensive lineman Gernorris Wilson wide open for a 3-yard passing touchdown, and then offensive lineman Josh Conerly Jr. took a direct snap on a fake extra point and rushed it in for a 2-point conversion.
