Oregon had a quick start in the first quarter with a commanding drive that was capped off by a touchdown catch by Jacob Breeland.
Breeland would strike again later in the quarter to run the score up to 14-0. The Ducks’ defense has been effective against Montana limiting Grizzlies’ QB Dalton Sneed.
However, the Ducks offense stalled for the majority of the second quarter and the rushing attack has been stifled by Montana’s defense. Montana missed a 50-yard missed field goal late in half.
In the last 10 seconds of the half, Herbert found Johnson III for an 18-yard touchdown.
