Oregon State’s Silas Bolden scored from nine yards out with 54 seconds left in the first half to cut the Duck lead in half at 14-7. Momentum was clearly on the Beavers’ side after Oregon had dominated the entire half. OSU was also poised to receive the ball in the second half.
Then Bo Nix came onto the field and said enough was enough and completely erased all hope the Beavers had for a possible upset.
Oregon drove 78 yards in 40 seconds, which concluded in a possible Heisman moment for its quarterback. Nix threw across the field on the run off his back foot to his favorite target Troy Franklin for a 41-yard touchdown and the 21-7 lead.
The Ducks cruised to what turned out to be an easy 31-7 win over the Beavers in the Civil War and now the Huskies await in Vegas.
