The play occurred minutes after Minnesota scored a touchdown, reducing its deficit to 28-13. The Ducks responded with a 75-yard drive capped by McClellan’s spectacular touchdown reception that required a review to determine if he had miraculously gotten one foot down before going out of bounds.
The No. 8 Oregon Ducks defeated the Minnesota Golden Gophers on Friday night in a dominant fashion. After the game, Minnesota coach P.J. Fleck praised Oregon's offense, arguing the Ducks had an "almost flawless" performance.
In another display of adaptability by offensive coordinator Will Stein, Oregon out-Minnesotaed Minnesota. The No. 8 Ducks ran the majority of their offensive plays with either multiple running backs or multiple tight ends on the field -- typically a staple for the Golden Gophers -- and poured it on in a 42-13 blowout Friday night at Autzen Stadium.
