Jeff Maehl caught a 7-yard touchdown pass from Jeremiah Masoli with just 1:20 to put the Ducks into the lead 16-13. Talmadge Jackson ran an interception back 50 seconds later, the third Duck pick of the day to preserve the victory. LaMichael James ran for a game high 117 yards in the win. Joe Cox threw for 309 yards in the loss, but was victimized by the three interceptions. Oregon faces Ohio State next weekend in the Sweet Sixteen.
