The passing game also played an essential role in keeping the Ducks competitive throughout the contest.

Special teams had their moments as well; notably, field goal execution was flawless with one made field goal from within the range of thirty-nine yards contributing crucial points to their tally. Additionally, kick returns were effective with five attempts totaling over hundred yards gained and featuring one long return stretching past forty yards.


Penalties somewhat marred what could have been an even more productive outing for the Ducks as they incurred seven penalties amounting to fifty-one penalty yards assessed against them.

On defense, despite not managing any interceptions or fumble recoveries during this encounter, they did force one fumble and achieved four tackles for loss including sacking Beaver's quarterback once which resulted in eleven lost yardage for their opponents.


The Oregon State Beavers' performance cannot be overlooked either; they managed to secure victory through consistent play which saw them outscoring in three out of four quarters and ultimately taking advantage of turnovers committed by the Ducks' offense.
