SANTA CLARA, Calif. — On the last day before a new year that stands to hold much promise for Oregon football, the Ducks sent out 2018 on a victorious note.
The UO defense was exceptional all day and the offense got hot at the right time to give the Ducks a 7-6 victory over Michigan State on Monday in the Redbox Bowl before 30,212 fans in Levi's Stadium.
Oregon won in the postseason for the first time since the 2014 College Football Playoff semifinal, and wrapped up Mario Cristobal's first season as head coach with a 9-4 record.
