Yep, I had to come back and rewatch these highlights again. Hard to believe this was 9 years ago. Side note, the Ducks played great in their game at Utah this year, winning 35-6.
I always remember this game for that awful injury that Pharoah Brown suffered. Felt awful for him and I really think Oregon missed him down the stretch that season. It actually happens at 19:04 but you have to slow it down.
Yeah I mean you could say Helfrich respected the opponent, or you could say he didn't have the killer instinct. Whittingham ran it up on Oregon a year later without their QB in Eugene and Helfrich got fired.
We Duck fans should have seen the Writing on the wall, but Clay's mistake gave us the game and the illusion that our team had a fighting chance. The Ducks were all downhill from here that season.
I still think Utah wins this game if Clay doesn't drop that ball. They would've had a 14-0 lead with all the momentum, instead it was 7-7 with all the momentum the other way
