Bo Nix and the Ducks couldn’t convert a late-minute drive, dropping a rare home game and putting their College Football Playoff hopes in jeopardy
Nix returned after Henry's field goal and got the Ducks to the Washington 38 but the final drive fizzled with a penalty. The Huskies won in Eugene for the first time since 2016.
Penix went into the game as the national leader in passing yards per game with 359.1. He had a streak of eight straight games with 300 or more yards passing that just ended last week in a victory over Oregon State. Oregon got to the 1 on the ensuing drive but the snap was fumbled and Washington recovered. The Huskies did not move the ball and instead the Ducks had good field position ahead of Nix's 10-yard TD dash, his 14th of the season, to pull Oregon within 13-10.
