Oregon’s offense seemed determine to join the rest of the PAC-12 North by earning a conference loss. especially when they committed three turnovers in their first three drives. Thankfully, Andy Avalos’ squad is beginning to solidify their claim as the best defense in the PAC-12.
The Golden Bears amassed only 256 yards and seven points. On California’s second drive of the game they were able to break Oregon’s streak of not allowing a touchdown, but then were held scoreless for three quarters. Oregon’s offense had a hell of a time finding its momentum after three straight turnovers to start the game, but eventually they were able to score 17 unanswered points to build a two-score lead that felt insurmountable thanks to the defensive side of the ball.
