The Oregon Ducks (9-4, 5-4) and Michigan State Spartans (7-6, 5-4) have a recent history of thrilling and competitive games. Before the Redbox Bowl, these teams met a total of six times, and those games produced a bevy of highlights and memorable moments, but if the Mariota/Adams Jr. games were the Marvel movies of this rivalry, then this was the Spaghetti Western.
Oregon’s Clint Eastwood moment took place in the fourth quarter, a drive in which Oregon went 77 yards in six plays and scored the game’s lone touchdown- a 28-yard pass to Dillon Mitchell with 11:19 left in the final quarter.
