September 25, 2011

ONE: 
1st Quarter: 15:00-14:05

The first 5 plays of the game. These set a tone and completely changed the Arizona game plan. Darron Thomas carried the ball on four of the first five plays and completed a pass to Rashaan Vaughn on the other. Thomas had 33 yards rushing before LaMichael James got a touch. That threat kept Arizona more honest on defense the rest of the night.

TWO:
2nd Quarter: 5:12

Arizona punts and LaMichael James, catching the ball with a full head of steam returns the punt 51yardsto the Arizona 28. Threee plays later, James scored to make it 35-3 Oregon.

THREE:
4th Quarter 13:00

After clawing their way back into the game and possibly turning it into the shootout many had expected, trailing 42-24, Arizona was driving again getting as far as the Oregon 6 yard line. Knocking on the door for another touchdown, on a 4th-and-6 play, Foles dropped back to pass, with no one open, Foles scrambled trying to keep the play alive before being sacked by Dion Jordan for a 16 yard loss. LaMichael James would get 70 yards on the next two plays, both runs, getting the Ducks in position for the points that would close the door on Arizona's comeback efforts.
