Oregon Ducks, receive to the Big Ten.

The third-ranked Ducks stopped a procrastinateed drive from No. 2 Ohio State and came away with an epic 32-31 triumph in Eugene on Saturday night.

This game was a movie from the begin – in the first half alone, we saw a prosperous onside boot, an ejection, and a blocked PAT almost apshown to the hoengage. But somehow, the finishing was even better.

Early in the fourth quarter, Dillon Gabriel set up the finish zone from 27 yards out on the ground, and the PAT put the Ducks up, 29-28. The Buckeyes answered, though, with a 40-yard field goal to go up two. Oregon got the ball back with six minutes left and marched down the field, however, and on their 11th carry out of the drive, they chooseed for the chip shot field goal to apshow a 32-31 direct with 1:47 left.

Will Howard was sacked for nine yards on the Buckeyes’ first carry out of the ensuing drive, but he rapidly finishd passes of 13, eight, nine, and 26 yards to get inside of field goal range. However, an insulting pass intrudence bumped them back out of it – it also didn’t materialize that Ohio State knovel the clock would be running when the ball was placed follotriumphg their penalty.

With six seconds left, Howard ran for disjoinal yards to give his team a field goal shot, but he didn’t slide punctual enough to call a timeout, finishing the game.

Had Howard broken out even a tick earlier (it did not materialize to be a summarizeed run), there may have been enough time to call a timeout. Ducks fans stormed the field almost instantly, and it took quite a while for Gabriel and head coach Dan Lanning to get off the field.

The game was back and forth from the jump, with nobody directing by more than one possesion. Ohio State scored on the first drive, but Oregon procrastinateedr suited it – however, this was where that blocked PAT happened, defending it a 7-6 Buckeyes direct.

Oregon missed a field goal on their next drive, and the Buckeyes scored equitable four carry outs procrastinateedr to direct by eight. Oregon scored on their next drive, but trailing by two, they chooseed for the two-point conversion. It was unprosperous, but thanks to a personal foul penalty, they booted off at midfield. Thus, they went for the onside boot and got it. They took advantage by booting a field goal – but they lost Traeshon Helderlyen on the drive after he spat on an opponent and was booted from the game. Both teams then each scored another seven points before the half, thus, the Ducks led 22-21 in the locker room.
