Justin Herbert turned in a tremendous performance. Dillon Mitchell had a career day. CJ Verdell topped 100 yards rushing. The Oregon Ducks defense held Stanford star Bryce Love to 89 yards on 19 carries. Oregon led by 10 points with less than 5 minutes to play.
And the Ducks still lost the game.
It was definitely a slugfest at Autzen Stadium on Saturday night, but the No. 7 Stanford Cardinal did just enough to pull out the 38-31 overtime victory over the No. 20 Ducks.
There were turnovers, momentum swings, clutch plays, questionable clock management.
