2ND QUARTER NOTES

• The second quarter began the same way the first quarter ended: a 5-yard carry from Wiley. This one good for a first down.
• After a 1-yard loss on a sweep from Berryhill, McCloud threw to the end zone and was picked off by Mykael Wright, who made a very athletic catch and foot plant to stay inbounds.
• Dye ripped off another big run two plays into Oregon’s next drive, a 30-yard run to reach the Arizona 43.
• A pass interference called on an Arizona defender defending Johnson III gave Oregon 15 yards on an incomplete pass.
• Brown Jr. connected with Johnson III on third-and-8 for a 14-yard gain.
• Then, on 3rd-and-7 at the Arizona 9-yard line, Brown Jr. threw a TD pass to tight end Terrance Ferguson.

• Berryhill added to Curry’s success with a 14-yard catch of his own.

• The Wildcats reached the Oregon 12, but failed to pick up a first down or reach the end zone. Lucas Havrisik made the 28-yard field goal to make it a two-score game.

Ducks 24 - Wildcats 10

(12 plays, 70 yards, 5:35)

• Brown Jr. was sacked by Kenny Herbert for a 3-yard loss on second down, then nearly threw a pick on third down on an attempted pass to Ferguson.
• The Ducks went three-and-out and were forced to kick the first punt of the contest.
• Passes of 11 and 7 yards to BJ Casteel and Jalen John gave the Wildcats some early momentum on their next drive.
• But the Wildcats were unable to continue the drive and were forced to punt after a run for a loss, an incomplete pass, and a delay of game killed any potential momentum.
• Despite clearly being a little banged up, Brown Jr. returned to the field and threw an incompletion on first down.
• A false start set up a third-and-12 for the Ducks, which Brown converted on with a 29-yard pass to Kris Hutson. Unfortunately, Hutson was called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, which put them back to the Wildcat 37.
• Brown Jr. threw two deep incompletions to end the half.
