We can almost guarantee Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks didn’t draw it up like this. Oregon was flagged 14 times, was shut out in the third quarter, but still somehow escaped Lubbock, Texas with a 38-30 win over Texas Tech.
Despite all of the unforced errors that plagued the Ducks for most of the night, Oregon was able to pulled things together in the fourth quarter and scored when it needed to. The Ducks also held the Red Raiders off the scoreboard as well when they needed to. Oregon outscored Texas Tech 20-3 in the last 15 minutes and capped everything off with a 45-yard Jeffrey Bassa Pick-6 with less than a minute to play.
It was a hot, but ultimately good time in Western Texas for the Oregon fans that made the trip to watch the Ducks play their first true road game at a Big XII school since 2004. Here’s the all-too eventful night in pictures.
