Just one point separated the teams quarterbacked by Dakota Prukop and Travis Jonsen in Oregon’s Spring Game on Saturday, a fitting conclusion to a month of practice that saw the signal-callers engage in a spirited duel that will begin again in August.

Prukop’s second touchdown of the game to breakout freshman receiver Dillon Mitchell put their “Webfoots” team up a touchdown with 4:36 to play. Jonsen got “Mighty Oregon” into the end zone on a QB keeper with 32 seconds left, but a potential game-tying two-point conversion was stuffed by new coordinator Brady Hoke’s defensive line, giving Webfoots a 21-20 victory before 35,116 fans in Autzen Stadium.
