Oregon vs. UCLA recap
When you think of Oregon football you think of offense. You think of Jerimiah Masoli and, well now LeMichael James. But, that was not the case in the Rose Bowl.
Both teams had no offense going on in the first half, with UCLA holding a slim 3-0 lead over the 9th ranked Ducks. But, on the opening kickoff of the second half, Kenjon Barner returned the kick 100 yards for the touchdown to put UO up 7-3.
On first down, Kevin Prince's pass was intercepted by Talmadge Jackson III for a 32 yard score. Jackson ran in front of the pass and ran it to the house. It was 2 touchdowns in 26 seconds for Oregon without any offensive play.
UCLA, however was driving at midfield when Kevin Prince took off. But as he was hit, the ball came loose and Oregon recovered. James and Nate Costa drove the Ducks to the Bruins 20, where Costa hit Jeff Maehl who broke a tackle and ran into the end zone.
The Bruins Akeem Ayers intercepted the ball at the goal line for a touchdown, but it was too late as 9 Oregon racked up the 5th straight win, their first win streak of 5 in a row since 2005. Oregon is 3-0 in the Pac-10 and has outscored Pac-10 opponents 118-19, while they have been outscored 79-77 by non-conference. That is a total of UO 195, opponents 98.
UCLA fell to 3-2, and 0-2 in the Pac-10, with back to back losses to Stanford and Oregon.
