Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert had thrown only three interceptions during the Ducks’ nine-game winning streak.
He threw two in a span of three plays on consecutive passes Saturday night in the Ducks’ 31-28 loss to unranked Arizona State.
Oregon’s winning streak is now gone. And so are its Playoff aspirations.
Despite having already clinched the PAC-12 North, the 6th-ranked Ducks needed a win to keep pace with Utah for a chance to represent the conference in the College Football Playoff.
That dream died suddenly in Tempe on the arm of Herbert, who has now thrown two picks in a game six times as a four-year starter, including twice against the Sun Devils.
