Down go the Ducks! No. 3 Oregon upset by unranked Stanford in OT
The early-season picture for the College Football Playoff received another adjustment in Week 5.
No. 3 Oregon carried its undefeated record on the road against unranked Stanford. After trailing 17-7 early, the Ducks rallied for a 24-17 lead late in the game and appeared in good position to win the game.
Unfortunately, a targeting penalty kept Stanford’s final drive of regulation alive. Then, a pass interference call on the Ducks on 4th-and-goal gave Stanford one more shot with no time left on the clock. The Cardinal scored and forced overtime.
In the overtime period, Stanford scored first and forced Oregon into 4th-and-8 with the game on the line. The throw to the sideline went incomplete, giving the Ducks’ Playoff hopes a dent.
Here’s the conclusion:
🚨 UPSET CITY 🚨
Stanford stuns No. 3 Oregon 31-24 in Overtime ‼️
