For the first time this season, the Oregon Ducks don’t have a lead at halftime. While the Ducks outgained the Bruins 298-190 in total yards, Oregon was bothered by UCLA’s defense. Linebacker Anthony Barr, among many other Bruins, pestered the Ducks’ offensive line and Marcus Mariota all half. The Ducks also blew several chances to score, including turning the ball over on downs in the red zone and missing a field goal to end the half. Oregon’s defense did a good job limiting the explosive Bruins offense, especially though the air.
