USC started strong going 75y all running plays…7-0, each team punted and they added a 15y penalty for WSt’s next drive starting in SC terr, WSt’s K hit a career long 50 yarder. 7-3. SC was stopped on 3rd-and-1 and punted, WSt faced 4th-and-1, converted at the 50 and then converted on 4th-and-2 on a 14p 59y eventual TD drive…10-7 early 2nd qrt. SC hit a 44y pass on their way to a 14-10 lead. Minshew went 4-of-5 in chunks retaking a 17-14 lead. A bad snap from the W37 on 1st down killed SC’s drive and WSt took a 10 pt lead going 11p 75y with 1:31 left in the half…24-14.

With a 1st down at the SC25 Minshew threw incomplete but was hit on the play in what appeared like a helmet-to-helmet targeting hit (Gustin), but no flag was thrown.

SC had a blk play they had put into practice this week and it worked, with 1:50 left the would-be tying FG was blk’d and SC ran out the clock. FD even, TY edge 435-354 (5.7-6.2 ypp) for WSt. WSt was called for 11pen 118y with several D PI and holding calls.

Oregon scored on all four 1st H poss while Stanford could only manage one productive drive…24-7 HT with a 304-126 yard Ore edge! Ore had a 1st down at S22, but negative plays and a sack saw them punt from the 35 (downed at 6). After Stan punted, Ore was back down there on a run that was ruled a TD, but overturned by replay so the ball put a the S01. Ore fumbled on 1st down, gained 6y on 2nd down, then fumbled again and this time Stanford would scoop-and-score for an 80+y return and instead of Oregon potentially leading 31-7, it was now a 24-14 game. Stan used that momentum, Ore went 3-and-out and Stan went 11y, 32y and 22y for quick TD…24-21 late 3rd. Herbert was sacked and Ore punted again, but Duck D stuffed Scarlett on a 4th-and-1 at O30.
