Oregon wins back to back Pac 12 Titles
Solid Defense, timely offense and big play special teams, spark win over the Sun Devils 37 - 24
Eugene, OR (AP), Today Oregon used solid defense, timely offense and big special team play to pull away from the Sun Devils, and win 37- 24 in the Pac 12 Title game to win back to back Pac 12 Championships.
The game started off slow with both teams trading FGs, but with the Ducks up 6 - 3, the Sun Devils finally made a mistake late in the second quarter that would start a snow ball effect. Sun Devil Qb Kelly would overthrow a comeback route along the sideline that went straight to Oregon CB Mitchell. This would lead to an improbable touchdown pass a few plays later that would bounce off a Sun Devil DB and end up in the hands of Duck Wide Out Hawkins whom just managed to stay in bounds to give the Ducks a 13 to 3 lead at the half.
Things after the half would continue to go the Ducks way as they took a 23 to 3 lead in to the fourth quarter. As the Sun Devils started to mount a comeback in the 4th; the Ducks special teams would quickly answer back when Keanon Lowe returned the kickoff for 108 yards, as the Ducks would answer any score thereafter by the Sun Devils except for the touchdown scored as time ran out to end the game.
"I pretty proud of our team this season and last season, it has been a good run. They have been dominate pretty much all season minus one game, that is totally on me. As I just was not aggressive enough in my play-calling, and got out-coached. But these digital kids have been great, and I have had a blast coaching them. They have essentially made me look like a pretty good coach, they deserve all the credit. It is nice to pick up a second Conference title, and here is hoping we finish out our season in a successful bowl appearance. As I know they will be ready to go as they have been great all season", said Coach Gonzales after the game.
gg, Chusker, was a pleasure man. GL in your bowl game.
