The Oregon Ducks defeated the UCLA Bruins, 38-35, utilizing a strong second half to thwart a valiant effort from UCLA backup quarterback Chase Griffin. Despite his best efforts, the Ducks did enough to stay ahead in the second half in their victory.
The Ducks were able to throw for 189 in the second half but were held to just 69 rushing yards in the final two quarters, after they had previously led the nation in average rushing yards in the second half.
In spite of the loss, Griffin absolutely did enough to potentially warrant more playing time, even if incumbent starting quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson is cleared for action next week.
