Key Plays
— After a long drive, a 5-yard touchdown run for Bryce Love gave Stanford the 7-0 lead.
— Love would score again, this time it was the only play of the drive for Stanford. A 67-yard touchdown run gave Stanford the 14-0 lead.
— Oregon got its much-needed answer with a five play, 86-yard drive finished with a 1-yard Braxton Burmeister touchdown run.
— Stanford had another long drive that ended with a 3-yard touchdown pass to JJ Arcega-Whiteside to extend the lead to 21-7.
— After a rabbit ran on the field (you read that right), Burmeister threw an interception to Stanford’s Quenton Meeks. He threw another later marking a poor start for the freshman.
— Stanford scored on special teams after blocking Oregon’s punt and grabbing it in the end zone. Stanford lead 28-7.
— Stanford had the ball in the redzone but Oregon freshman Deommodore Lenoir intercepted a pass in the end zone right before the half.
