Entering last week’s matchup with Arizona State’s aggressive, blitz-heavy defense, the UO offense knew it might be in for a boom-or-bust night.
The Ducks ended up scoring four offensive touchdowns in regulation, three on plays of 39 yards or longer, and the fourth a miracle fourth-down heave by Vernon Adams Jr. to force overtime. Conversely, they went three-and-out five times, before scoring four straight times at the end of regulation and in the three overtime periods.
“We knew we had to hit some big plays, and we landed some,” UO offensive coordinator Scott Frost said.
