Game day blog: Ducks win at Cal
4th Quarter: #19 Oregon 42, #24 CAL 24
Up next for @oregonfootball - a BYE week and then a visit from Washington at Autzen. Start the hype train now.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 2018Another INT will officially end this thing: the true freshman Jevon Holland caps a special night for him with his 2nd pick.
FINAL from Berkeley: #19 Oregon 42, #24 CAL 24.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 2018Ugo Amadi puts this one to bed with a pick-six.
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018Ugo Amadi ends this game with a pick-six. Oregon now leads 42-24 with 3:02 to play.
— Matt Prehm (@Prehmmr247) September 30, 2018GOOD NIGHT FROM BERKELEY!
Amadi ends this thing with a pick-six: 42-24 Oregon leads with 3:02 left.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 20184Q | Cal scores and cuts the lead to 35-24. 4:31 left in the game. #GoDucks
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018TOUCHDOWN CAL on the fade route. And with 4:31 to GO, Oregon's lead is trimmed to 35-24.
Onside kick coming...?
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 2018No. 19 Oregon leads No. 24 Cal 35-24 after McIlwain's TD to Jordan Duncan with 4:31 remaining. https://t.co/0scSYJXzX1
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018Ducks took 6:35 off the clock on that drive and then punted inside the 5. That'll work.
— Tyson Alger (@tysonalger) September 30, 20184th and 2 at the Cal 43, Cristobal elects to take a delay of game penalty and then punt. Interesting....
— Matt Prehm (@Prehmmr247) September 30, 2018Rather than go for it on 4th & very short in CAL territory, Cristobal elects to punt...the result was a good one: a punt downed inside the 5 yd line.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 2018Ducks stuff Joe Kapp, err McIlwain on fourth-and-goal. Big stop for Leavitt's defense. Troy Dye credited with the tackle.
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018Cal rolls the dice and goes for it on fourth-and-goal at the 1-yard line.
Troy Dye says, nope. UO ball. #GoDucks
— Rob Moseley (@DuckFootball) September 30, 2018GOAL LINE STAND.
Troy Dye & co. hold and the Ducks will get the ball back up 35-17.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 20183rd Quarter: #19 Oregon 35, #24 CAL 17
10:08 p.m. Fourth quarter upcoming. Ducks lead 35-17.
— Tyson Alger (@tysonalger) September 30, 2018Cal is rushing all over the Ducks right now. Bears with 199 rushing yards.
— Kevin Wade (@KwadeSays) September 30, 2018Adam Stack 41-yard FG is no good. Ducks still lead 35-17.
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018That's such a smart play from Herbert. Draws an offside, throws it deep to Mitchell, who draws a PI.
— Tyson Alger (@tysonalger) September 30, 2018Only other QB I’ve seen throw a ball as beautiful & accurate as Herbert in college was Luck in ‘09.
DB’s, mostly, in great position but it didn’t matter. Herbert, like Luck, is surgical with it. #GoDucks
— Spencer Paysinger (@PYSNGR) September 30, 2018These guys were ticked off all week. Only question was how effectively they'd channel it. #GoDucks https://t.co/lczhJuzNln
— Rob Moseley (@DuckFootball) September 30, 2018A true frosh makes up for another true frosh's errors. Garbers throws it into triple coverage, and @HollywoodVon picks it off. Big response for Oregon defense. Holland continues to be an excellent ball hawk. Going to be a player for a long time at Oregon.
— Erik Skopil (@Erik_Skopil) September 30, 20183Q | Cal recovers an Oregon fumble. Bears take over at the UO 41-yard line. #GoDucks
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018Cal answers with a quick scoring drive capped with a 10-yard rushing TD by Patrick Laird. Bears within 35-17.
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 20183Q | Cal answers with a TD run. Oregon leads, 35-17, with 10:51 left in the third. #GoDucks
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018Habibi-Likio punches it in from the one. Ducks starting to run away with this one. 35-10 here in the third.
— Tyson Alger (@tysonalger) September 30, 2018No. 19 Oregon with a 35-10 lead on No. 24 Cal. Ducks have scored 28 unanswered points.
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018That's how you start a half! @Cjverdell_ with a 74-yard run down to the Cal 1-yard line. #GoDucks
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 20182nd Quarter: #19 Oregon 28, #24 CAL 10
SACK AND SCORE! Drayton Carlberg with a big sack to force a fumble and La'Mar Winston grabs it and goes 61 yards for a touchdown! #GoDucks pic.twitter.com/79Tkov2aGk
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018CC grad La'Mar Winston Jr. with the scoop and score RIGHT before the HALF! A backbreaker in Berkeley.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 2018Justin Herbert is good at the footballs pic.twitter.com/RBAUa02Y0b
— Kevin Wade (@KwadeSays) September 30, 2018Herbert on a rope to Dillon Mitchell for a touchdown. WOW. Both guys are having a hell of a two-week period. Ducks up 20-10, PAT coming.
— Matt Prehm (@Prehmmr247) September 30, 2018Touchdown, Ducks.
Herbert to Mitchell in a dead sprint, 36-yard TD pass.
The QB is on one again tonight, folks. #GoDucks
— Rob Moseley (@DuckFootball) September 30, 2018Herbert to Mitchell is LETHAL. Another TD strike for Herbert and Oregon takes a 21-10 lead on the road in Berkeley.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 2018No. 19 Oregon 21, No. 24 Cal 10. Herbert is 8-for-10 passing for 136 yards and two touchdowns. Eight career TD passes in this stadium. https://t.co/ubJqAcS7QV
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018Ducks chip away and chip in the run game, and then the dam breaks: Travis Dye with a 45-yard TD run.
Oregon 14, Cal 10. #GoDucks
— Rob Moseley (@DuckFootball) September 30, 2018TOUCHDOWN! Freshman Travis Dye with a 45-yard TD run and the Ducks have the lead! #GoDucks pic.twitter.com/z1eFtnaIXe
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018Dye, Dye, Dye, my darlin'
2nd trip to pay dirt for @Babydye23, 45-yarder this time
14-10, Ducks
— DuckSportsAuthority (@DSArivals) September 30, 2018Oregon's streak of holding teams below 100 yards rushing is officially done. Cal at 105 yards through 1.5 quarters.
— Erik Skopil (@Erik_Skopil) September 30, 2018Cristobal has stressed that the team needs to cut down on mental mistakes... I'm not even sure if this qualifies as a mistake though https://t.co/dctqGf7Qi8
— Kevin Wade (@KwadeSays) September 30, 2018McIlwain gives CAL a 10-7 lead with a long TD run. That drive was extended by UO's unsportsmanlike flag after they had stopped the Bears. Ouch.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 2018Haki Woods called for an unsportsmanlike penalty after Cal's third-down attempt went incomplete. Was trash talking. First down Cal.
— Matt Prehm (@Prehmmr247) September 30, 20181st Quarter: #19 Oregon 7, #24 CAL 3
Herbert throws it away under pressure to open the second quarter, and the Ducks will punt. Tom Snee out to handle the punt, so that's a fifth freshman who won't redshirt. #GoDucks
— Rob Moseley (@DuckFootball) September 30, 2018Herbert started against Stanford 7-7 and a touchdown pass. Tonight, Herbert started the game 6-7 and a touchdown. The 9 nine teams here are loving this I am sure.
— Matt Prehm (@Prehmmr247) September 30, 2018Big play by the defense! The Ducks have the ball back right now on @FS1. #GoDucks pic.twitter.com/DLwEKiNLzo
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018Ugo Amadi gets the 50/50 ball. Big pick for the senior
— Kevin Wade (@KwadeSays) September 30, 2018Last time Herbert was in this stadium, he threw 6 touchdowns. He's going to have to pick up the pace here.
— Tyson Alger (@tysonalger) September 30, 2018TOUCHDOWN! Herbert with a 30-yard strike to Dillon and the Ducks lead Cal, 7-3, in the first quarter. #GoDucks pic.twitter.com/qnzo7Sz30N
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018Herbert connects with Mitchell for a first down. Rinse. Repeat.
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018TBJ takes the Kickoff but CJ Verdell gets the first down.
— Kevin Wade (@KwadeSays) September 30, 2018Oregon's defense bends but doesn't break in the red zone, and CAL's Thomas connects on a short FG to give the Bears a 3-0 lead to open the game.
Up next: Justin Herbert.
— 1080 The FAN (@1080TheFAN) September 30, 2018Cal goes empty backfield and gets the first down. Cal's offensive line is getting great push up front.
— Matt Prehm (@Prehmmr247) September 30, 2018Pre-game:
A 7:40 kickoff time is absurd.
— Aaron J. Fentress (@AaronJFentress) September 30, 2018Big game in Berkeley. #GoDucks pic.twitter.com/7Rk5m9h75E
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018Probable starters. #GoDucks pic.twitter.com/v2Qs4SFQwY
— Oregon Football (@oregonfootball) September 30, 2018When the Ducks went 11-on-11 for warmups, CJ Verdell was the running back with the No. 1 offense. Gary Baker was in Faoliu's spot with the defensive line. #GoDucks
— Rob Moseley (@DuckFootball) September 30, 2018Appears Oregon will be without DE Austin Faoliu today. Drayton Carlberg and Gary Baker going to get some action.
— Tyson Alger (@tysonalger) September 30, 2018Looks like Jalen Jelks is giving the Ducks their pregame pep talk on the field. Don't see Austin Faoliu (ankle).
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018Cold as ❄️ pic.twitter.com/2UTQL5e2yw
— Coach Field (@CoachField) September 30, 2018Oregon's offense is out for warmups. Tony Brooks-James and Jacob Breeland are both out there.
— Ryan Thorburn (@rgduckfootball) September 30, 2018Oregon’s players are beginning to take the field for warmups. Justin Herbert and Tyler Shough are the two quarterbacks in uniform tonight. #GoDucks
— Rob Moseley (@DuckFootball) September 30, 2018No. 19 Oregon -- takes the field for warmups vs. No. 24 CAL --#GoDucks pic.twitter.com/30w0oJrkSO
— NBC Sports Northwest (@NBCSNorthwest) September 30, 2018Fox Sports 1 is sliding @oregonfootball kickoff time at Cal to 7:40 p.m.
