Three first-half turnovers stifled what was an otherwise efficient offensive first half for the Ducks. Oregon came out pounding the ball on the ground with success, but Herbert’s first pick of the year and two Travis Dye fumbles killed any momentum the Ducks were gaining. CJ Verdell left the game in the first half.

Key Plays

Oregon’s strong start was interupted by a rare Herbert interception that California capitlized on with a 22 yard TD pass hauled in Christopher Brown Jr.

Oregon running back CJ Verdell went down with an injury at the end of the first quarter and Travis Dye turned the ball over on a 4th and 1 on the next play.

Dye fumbled  over again during the next Oregon drive. Oregon and Cal traded missed field goals in the first half.

Oregon ended the half with an interception by Jevon Holland.
