The #23 Oregon Ducks (3-1) lead the California Golden Bears (1-2) by a score of 17 to 14 on the road at California Memorial Stadium.

After Oregon scored first with a Henry Katleman field goal, the Golden Bears put together back-to-back, long touchdown drives to claim a 14-3 lead over the Ducks early. Seven first-half penalties were called on Oregon, and a questionable defensive pass interference that erased a goal-line stand and set up an easy Cal touchdown was undoubtedly responsible for many spilled snacks and beverages in Duck households throughout the country.

But Shough and the Oregon offense rallied by scoring two quick touchdowns—the first to Johnny Johnson III on a 39-yard touchdown reception, and the other a one-yard score from Cyrus Habibi-Likio— to take a 17-14 lead with under a minute remaining in the half.

Tyler Shough: 7/11 - 171 YDS - 1 TD - 5 Car - 42 YDS

Chase Garbers: 10/16 - 94 YDS - 5 Car - 20 YDS - 1 RTD

TD SCORERS: (UO) Johnny Johnson III, Cyrus Habibi-Likio (CAL) Chase Garbers, Bradrick Shaw

DUCK YARDS: 236 yards - 171 passing - 65 rushing

GOLDEN BEAR YARDS: 168 yards - 94 passing - 74 rushing

2ND QUARTER NOTES

• It finally appeared Oregon would win the battle on third down when Polk was brought down before the line to gain on 3rd-&-10 in the Duck red zone, however, Kayvon Thibodeaux was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty which extended the drive.
• Despite attacking from the Oregon 1-yard line starting on second down, the Duck defense kept the Golden Bears out of the end zone on three consecutive plays. However, a defensive pass interference called on Bennett Williams gave Cal a fresh set of downs after the fourth-down play.
