For fans of low-scoring, defensive stalemates, Oregon's 7-6 victory over Michigan State in Monday's Redbox Bowl was thrilling theatre. For everyone else, though, renting a movie from Redbox might have provided more excitement.
But Oregon will take the win, ugly as it might have been. Led by Justin Herbert's 166 passing yards and fourth-quarter touchdown pass to Dillon Mitchell, the Ducks ending their season on a high note.
Despite a dearth of points, the game didn't lack for late drama. Michigan State (7-6) had a chance to kick a 49-yard go-ahead field goal with just under two minutes remaining, but quarterback Brian Lewerke couldn't handle the low snap and the Spartans weren't able to even attempt the kick, instead turning the ball over to the Ducks.
