Furious Fourth-Quarter Rally as Ducks Win Holiday Bowl

Oregon rallied from a 10-point deficit with only 9 minutes left in the game and defeated North Carolina in the Holiday Bowl 28 - 27. Oregon stormed back after not being able to generate much offense and trailing for most of the game. Bo Nix rallied Oregon late, however, throwing a 7-yard touchdown pass to Troy Franklin with 6:58 left in the game and the clincher to Chase Cota from 13 yards out. North Carolina kicked a field goal in between Oregon’s 4th-quarter touchdowns and gained a last possession after Oregon went ahead 28 - 27 with 19 seconds left. With some help from the officials, the Tar Heels advanced the ball to their own 47 and completed a pass into Oregon territory with one second put back on the clock by the officials. North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye’s desperation Hail Mary pass fell incomplete in the end zone, and the Ducks could walk away with a win.
