Weekend Recap: Monday Morning Links
The Civil War was a bit more of a war than Oregon was hoping for this weekend. They came out on top of OSU for the sixth year in a row, but only by a score of 36-35 that came late in the game.
The Ducks took the 1:38 they had left to drive down the field in 9 plays led by QB Marcus Mariota to beat the Beavers. The Ducks are now looking toward the Alamo Bowl against a Big 12 opponent while the Beavers are just barely bowl eligible at 6-6. [SB Nation]
