It was the final time these two teams would meet as conference rivals. The Oregon Ducks were determined to not let it end the same way it did a year ago.
So instead of blowing a 34-17 lead in the fourth quarter, Dan Lanning made sure to never leave this one in doubt. He kept his guys driving until the final whistle. It resulted in a 31-7 win that clinched Oregon’s spot in the Pac-12 Championship game next week against the Washington Huskies.
Unsurprisingly, Bo Nix had another masterpiece, throwing for 367 yards on 33-for-40, with two touchdowns and a rushing score as well. Troy Franklin broke another record, and the defense did not give the Beavers anything all night.
The result is bragging rights in Eugene and another game next week, this time with a spot in the College Football Playoff on the line.
Here are some of the best fan and media reactions throughout the game:
