EUGENE, Ore. — Oregon went from driving to a potential game-clinching touchdown in the fourth quarter to dropping a heartbreaker to Washington and worrying about the status of its quarterback Saturday night in Autzen Stadium.
The Huskies kicked a field goal with 51 seconds left to beat the Ducks, 37-34, and end Oregon's perfect start to Pac-12 play. The Ducks were up 31-27 and methodically driving the field when quarterback Bo Nix limped off with an injury late in fourth quarter, and though he gamely returned in the final minute, momentum was lost.
The Ducks fell to 8-2 overall and 6-1 in Pac-12 play, losing for the first time since the season opener.
