SALT LAKE CITY -- For over 50 minutes, Oregon's defense bent.

The Ducks allowed Utah to a build a 13-0 lead, but crept back into the game once the offense found a rhythm while the defense kept limiting the Utes to field goals and four three-and-out.

Only after Oregon took a 25-22 lead did its defense break, surrendering control back to Utah in a matter of 87 seconds on a 60-yard touchdown drive nearly all of which came in the air.

Holding Utah to six field goals, including four in the red zone, was of little consolation to Oregon defenders after Saturday's 32-25 loss.
