Third- and fourth-string quarterbacks played the fourth quarter for the Ducks, and they made wholesale substitutions on defense. They led 31-0 after three quarters, outscored 14-3 over the final minutes to win 34-14.
It was a convincing victory, the outcome never in doubt, but the line score and the highlights weren't flashy enough for poll points.
Dan Lanning said after the game, "We've got to create critical moments for everybody on our team. We talk about strength in numbers and if you touch the field, we have an expectation and a standard. For us, it's continuing to find out how many guys can play winning football for us because you never know when you're going to have to count on somebody in those situations.
