It wasn’t the outcome that the Oregon Ducks were hoping for, but it was one incredibly thrilling finale to the Pac-12 Conference as a whole.
The No. 3 Washington Huskies beat the No. 5 Oregon Ducks in the Pac-12 Championship game, 34-31, clinching their spot in the College Football Playoff and completing a 13-0 season.
It started roughly for the Ducks, who fell behind 20-3 in the first half. However, Bo Nix led the team to 21 straight points to take a 24-20 lead in the third quarter. From there, though, Michael Penix and the Huskies took control. Oregon scored a late touchdown on a long pass and run from Bo Nix to Traeshon Holden, but it was unable to stop the Huskies from running out the clock.
It was a roller coaster of emotions for Duck fans on social media, who were down in the first half, saw hope in the third quarter, and ultimately were crushed.
