Posted November 8, 20213 yr Moderator By James Crepea | The Oregonian/OregonLive EUGENE — Oregon was attempting to score until the final whistle against rival Washington. The No. 4 Ducks beat the Huskies, 26-16, on Saturday and were originally ruled to have scored on an 11-yard touchdown run by Byron Cardwell Jr. with 10 seconds to play. The score was overturned upon review and the ball was spotted at the 1. Oregon’s offense took the field but the clock ran out before a play got off and the game was declared over. “We weren’t trying to run the clock out at all,” offensive coordinator Joe Moorhead said. “We were trying to punch the ball in. (Anthony Brown Jr.) was waiting for Alex Forsyth to make his line calls there, for the blocks to be made. Unfortunately we didn’t have an opportunity to snap it. We were attempting to snap the ball and score, but the clock ran out before we could get it snapped.”

November 9, 20213 yr I can't remember if Oregon still had a time out left, but if they did, they should have called a timeout to begin after the review, or been in position to immediately spike the ball after the review. At least now they know that the clock starts immediately after a review if the previous play was a running play.
November 9, 20213 yr As a fan I think it showed good sportsmanship to not score there But as a Duck I sure wish they would have.
November 9, 20213 yr Finally, the facts. AB was waiting on Forsyth to make the line calls. Alas. he was slow to do it. Coaches had nothing to do with the delay.

They couldn’t get the play off in time. Classy thing would have been to take a knee. Very un-Cristobal like.
