A wild first half at the Coliseum was capped by a Mykael Wright 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown as the Ducks went into the locker room up 28-17. Oregon’s offense struggled to get going early, and the Kedon Slovis-led Trojans jumped out to an early 10-0 lead. The Ducks’ defense rebounded, and forced two crucial turnovers, including a Brady Breeze pick-six. A total of 336 yards worth of penalty yardage were handed out in the first 30 minutes, and USC’s Isaiah Pola-Mao and Oregon’s Austin Faoliu were both ejected from the game.
