After another blowout at Autzen Stadium last weekend (losing 52-27 to Stanford), the Oregon Ducks came into Utah with the intention of upsetting the 12th ranked Utes and receive their first road win of the season. And that they did, as the outcome of the game turned out to be much different than earlier predicted.
And even though Oregon seemed to start off slow again in the first quarter on both offense and defense, the Ducks eventually came to life and were only down seven to three going into the second quarter.
Impressively, Oregon’s first quarter momentum would continue into the second quarter, making big defensive plays (including a fumble recovery inside their own 25 yard line).
