No. 20 Oregon led No. 7 Stanford for the majority of their game tonight but somehow found a way to lose.
The Ducks led the Cardinals by 17 points at the half and while Stanford was able chip away at the lead later on in the game and it seemed like Oregon was a lock to win the game when they were up 3 points with less than a minute to go.
Unfortunately for Oregon they fumbled the ball with less than a minute to go while trying to run out the clock which allowed Stanford to tie the game a few minutes later.
Stanford just beat Oregon in OT.

Parkinson’s TD ending up being the game-winner after Oregon threw an interception in the ensuing possesion.
After the game raucous Oregon fans began throwing bottles and yelling obscenities at Cardinals players who were making their way into the locker room through the tunnel.

Terrible and embarrassing. Stanford played well, we made one too many critical errors. If you can’t handle that as a fan you might want to step away from the game for a bit
