Dillon Gabriel threw a touchdown pass and ran for a score in another efficient performance from the Heisman Trophy front-runner, leading No. 1 Oregon to a 38-17 win over Michigan on Saturday.
The Ducks (9-0, 6-0 Big Ten) seemed to get a break on their first touchdown when Gabriel's 2-yard pass to Evan Stewart appeared to be dropped, but they didn't need much good fortune to stay unbeaten.
The Wolverines (5-4, 3-3) pulled into a 7-all tie on Davis Warren's 7-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Morris, taking advantage of backup returner Ryan Pellum fumbling on a punt return. They trailed the rest of the game.
Oregón consiguió 304 yardas de ataque en la primera parte y lideraba 28-10 en el descanso antes de enfriarse.
The Wolverines had a chance to pull within a touchdown midway through the fourth quarter, but turned it over on downs at the Ducks 10 on a trick play with receiver Semaj Morgan throwing to backup quarterback Alex Orji.
Gabriel completó 22 de 34 para 294 yardas con un touchdown y esprintó por el centro para una carrera de touchdown de 23 yardas que dio a Oregón una ventaja de 18 puntos al descanso.
The Ducks overcame the loss of No. 1 receiver and punt returner Tez Johnson with an apparent shoulder injury in the first quarter against. On Oregon's second snap, Johnson caught an 11-yard pass and landed on his right shoulder as he was tackled to the turf. He returned to the sideline out of uniform with his right shoulder in a sling.
Johnson lidera a los Ducks y está entre los líderes de la NCAA con 64 recepciones. El senior tiene 649 yardas de recepción, ocho touchdowns de recepción y una anotación en un retorno de punt de 85 yardas.
Jordan James gave the Ducks balance, running for 117 yards and a touchdown with 25 seconds left to cap the rout.
Warren was 12 of 21 for 165 yards with a career-high two touchdowns, connecting with Morgan and Peyton O'Leary in the end zone. Colston Loveland had seven catches for a career-high 112 yards for the Wolverines.
Oregon: Losing Johnson to an injury was a setback, but the Ducks didn't miss a beat. Traeshon Holden made the most of an increased role. The former Alabama receiver matched a career high with six catches and nearly doubled his previous career high with 149 yards receiving.
Michigan: Los errores condenaron las posibilidades del equipo de Sherrone Moore de ser más competitivo, incluida una penalización por formación ilegal en un retorno de punt que permitió a los Ducks conservar el balón y marcar un gol de campo para adelantarse 31-17 al final del tercer cuarto.
Oregon will likely stay No. 1 in the AP Top 25.
Oregón: Recibe a Maryland el sábado.
Michigan: Juega contra Indiana , nº 13, a domicilio el sábado.
