#1 Arizona State suffers first setback as late FG propels #19 Oregon to 32-27 victory
EUGENE -- An all-around miserable performance was nearly salvaged thanks to some 4th quarter heroics from Matt Wesley, who led two late scoring drives, the second of which ended in a TD run from Wesley that put gave the Sun Devils their first lead of the game at 27-26 with just minutes to play. It was not meant to be, however, as the Ducks promptly marched down the field for what would be the game winning score on a 4 yard pass with 32 seconds left. Truth be told, the Sun Devils were vastly outplayed and deserved the loss. They were out-gained by 158 yards of total offense, out-possessed by nearly 10 full minutes and managed only 7 points through the first 3 quarters of action. Perhaps the biggest indicator of how bad the struggles were is the paltry 85 yards of rushing Steve Williams was held to - his first sub 100 yard performance of the season.
The loss snaps Arizona State's 22 game win streak and drops them to 5-1 on the season, one game behind Boise State in the Pac-12 South.
