The first half of the Pac-12 Championship game has been all Oregon. The Ducks turned an early fourth-down stop into a CJ Verdell 3-yard touchdown run. Utah was out of sorts in the first half, failing to score and getting stopped on two fourth-down conversions. Herbert had a strong first half, throwing a 50-yard pass to Juwan Johnson and hitting Johnny Johnson III for a 45-yard touchdown.
