The Ducks played in the inaugural College Football Playoff, netting a berth in the 2014 Rose Bowl semifinal game, where they defeated the Florida State Seminoles 59–20, advancing to the 2014 College Football Playoff National Championship game facing the Ohio State Buckeyes. This was Oregon's second-ever national championship game appearance (their first was the 2010 BCS National Championship Game, in which they lost to Auburn). They were defeated in the National Championship by Ohio State by a score of 42–20. The Ducks finished the season as consensus national runners-up behind the national champion Buckeyes and ahead of Peach Bowl victors TCU.

Mariota led the nation in touchdowns responsible for, total yards, and passer efficiency rating.https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/years/2014.html 2014 Year Summary Sports-Reference.com June 11, 2019 Departing players Following the 2013 season there was a whirlwind of speculation in Eugene about the futures of several star players eligible to leave early for the NFL. The first announcements came from starting quarterback Marcus Mariota (RSo.) and starting center Hroniss Grasu (Jr.), declaring that they would stay at Oregon in order to finish their degrees.Marcus Mariota of Oregon Ducks to Return for Junior Season Kevin Gemmell https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/10074701/marcus-mariota-oregon-ducks-return-junior-season?ex_cid=espnapi_public ESPN December 3, 2013 June 18, 2014 Later in the week, defensive leaders Tony Washington (RJr.) and Derrick Malone (Jr.) announced that they too would be staying in Eugene to finish their education. The first Duck to declare that he would be leaving school early and pursuing a career in the NFL was starting cornerback Terrance Mitchell (Jr.), many considered it to be a poor decision, and that another year in college would boost his potential draft status. Nonetheless, he was drafted in the seventh round by the Dallas Cowboys and did not end up making the final roster, he was signed by the Chicago Bears as a member of their practice squad prior to the 2014 NFL season.Cornerback Terrance Mitchell to Enter NFL Draft, Forgo Senior Season Andrew Greif https://www.oregonlive.com/ducks/index.ssf/2014/01/oregon_football_cornerback_ter.html The Oregonian Portland January 2, 2014 August 3, 2014 Following the surprise announcement from Terrance Mitchell, the most anticipated announcement finally came from star running back De'Anthony Thomas (Jr.), declaring that he will forgo his senior year and enter the NFL Draft. Few people were surprised by this decision after recording three solid years as a featured part of the ducks offense, setting records in the Rose Bowl and Fiesta Bowl. He would go on to be drafted in the fifth round by the Kansas City Chiefs and would make the final 53-man roster, showing off his value to the team in his first NFL appearance, returning a punt 80-yards for a touchdown.De'Anthony Thomas of Oregon Ducks Chooses to Enter Draft https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2014/story/_/id/10248829/deanthony-thomas-oregon-ducks-chooses-enter-draft?ex_cid=espnapi_public ESPN January 6, 2014 June 18, 2014 The final announcement came from Ifo Ekpre-Olomu (Jr.) declaring that he would stay at Oregon in order to earn his degree and hone his skills as a cornerback.Ekpre-Olomu Will Remain at Oregon for His Senior Season http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209361035&DB_OEM_ID=500 University of Oregon Department of Athletics January 6, 2014 June 18, 2014 Other notable departures due to graduation included record breaking receiver Josh Huff who would be drafted by Oregon's former head coach Chip Kelly to be a member of the Philadelphia Eagles, as well as three starting defensive tackles Taylor Hart, Ricky Havili-Heimuli and Wade Keliikipi.

Service-members were given special seating at the 50-yard line, ran onto the field with the players and were given the jerseys worn by the players immediately following the game. In between the first and second quarters a group of soon-to-be soldiers took the oath of enlistment in the west end-zone and at half-time an American Flag was presented by the Oregon National Guard to the University President Michael R. Gottfredson. In addition to honoring the troops, the spring game is used as a means to boost donations to Food for Lane County, a local non-profit food bank. There is no monetary cost of admission to enter the game, however a donation of 3 non-perishable food items per person is encouraged. Food for Lane County has reported donations just short of sixty thousand pounds of non-perishable food.Food Drive at Ducks' Spring Game Chenue Her http://www.kezi.com/food-drive-at-ducks-spring-game/ KEZI Eugene May 3, 2014 June 18, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140512223642/http://www.kezi.com/food-drive-at-ducks-spring-game/ May 12, 2014 dead mdy-allFFLC Donations Down at Spring Game Jennifer Richardson http://www.kezi.com/fflc-donations-down-at-spring-game/ KEZI Eugene May 5, 2014 June 18, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140512231900/http://www.kezi.com/fflc-donations-down-at-spring-game/ May 12, 2014 dead mdy-all Unlike the previous year's spring game, this game was as close to normal football rules as possible. The first half followed all NCAA rules and regulations, with the second half featuring a running clock. Marcus Mariota led back to back scoring drives to start off the game, throwing touchdown passes to Thomas Tyner and Devon Allen, after that the star quarterback sat out the rest of the game. For the remainder of the first half the defenses of both teams took control, not allowing another score and forcing several turnovers. After the half-time ceremonies team Mariasu got on the board again, this time on the arm of Jeff Lockie throwing to Austin Daich. It took until the fourth quarter for team Twifo to score on a touchdown pass from Taylor Allie to Darren Carrington, team Mariasu would respond with a touchdown pass from Damion Hobbs to Devon Allen, however the play occurred as time expired so no PAT was attempted.Oregon Spring Game 2014: Recap, Highlights and Analysis https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2050351-oregon-spring-game-2014-recap-highlights-and-analysis Bleacher Report May 3, 2014 June 18, 2014 Oregon Ducks ;text-align:center; autocollapse 2014 Oregon Duck Football Spring Game – Game summary May 3, 2014 11:07 a.m. PST Twifo 0 0 0 7 Mariasu 14 0 7 6 Autzen Stadium • Eugene, OR 37,129 Temperature: 57 °F °C • Wind: SW 12 • Weather: Partly Cloudy P12N http://www.goducks.com/pdf9/2708622.pdf First quarter Mariasu – Thomas Tyner 22-yard pass from Marcus Mariota (Eric Solis kick) Mariasu – Devon Allen 45-yard pass from Mariota (Solis kick) Third quarter Mariasu – Austin Daich 41-yard pass from Jeff Lockie (Solis kick) Fourth quarter Twifo – Darren Carrington 20-yard pass from Taylor Allie (Matt Wogan kick) Mariasu – Allen 49-yard pass from Damion Hobbs (No kick, end of regulation) Top passers Twifo – Jake Rodrigues, 7-18, 66 yards, 1 INT Mariasu – Jeff Lockie, 7-12, 121 yards, 1 TD Top rushers Twifo – Kani Benoit, 5 carries, 44 yards Mariasu – Thomas Tyner, 10 carries, 58 yards Top receiving Twifo – Darren Carrington, 3 receptions, 47 yards, 1 TD Mariasu – Devon Allen, 2 receptions, 94 yards, 2 TD Top tackler Twifo – Juwaan Williams, 9 total, 7 solo Mariasu – Tui Talia, 5 total, 4 solo, 1 TFL Schedule The 2014 Pac-12 schedule was officially released on January 8, 2014.https://pac-12.com/news/2014/1/8/pac-12-conference-releases-2014-football-schedule.aspx Pac-12 Conference releases 2014 football schedule Pac-12 Conference January 8, 2014 Pac-12.com September 27, 2014Stanford, Washington and Michigan State Head 2014 Slate http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=209366278 University of Oregon Department of Athletics January 8, 2014 June 18, 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140617095009/http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=209366278 June 17, 2014 For their non-conference slate the Ducks played against the South Dakota Coyotes of the Missouri Valley Conference, the Michigan State Spartans, the 2014 Rose Bowl winners and reigning Big Ten conference champions, and the Wyoming Cowboys of the Mountain West Conference. 2014 AP Poll and CFP Rankings after October 28 released prior to game Pacific August 30 7:30 p.m. w y 3 South Dakota Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR P12N 62–13 57,388 September 6 3:30 p.m. w y 3 Michigan State 7 Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR College GameDay FOX 46–27 59,456 September 13 11:00 a.m. w y 2 Wyoming Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR P12N 48–14 56,533 September 20 7:30 p.m. w y 2 Washington State Martin Stadium Pullman, WA ESPN 38–31 32,952 October 2, 2014 7:30 p.m. l 2 Arizona Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR ESPN 24–31 56,032 October 11 12:30 p.m. w y 12 UCLA 18 Rose Bowl Pasadena, CA FOX 42–30 80,138 October 18 5:00 p.m. w y 9 Washington Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR rivalry FS1 45–20 57,858 October 24 7:00 p.m. w y 6 California Levi's Stadium Santa Clara, CA FS1 59–41 55,575 November 1 4:30 p.m. w 5 Stanford Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR rivalry FOX 45–16 58,974 November 8 7:00 p.m. w y 4 Utah 17 Rice–Eccles Stadium Salt Lake City, UT ESPN 51–27 47,528 November 22 1:30 p.m. w 3 Colorado Autzen Stadium Eugene, OR P12N 44–10 55,898 November 29 5:00 p.m. w y 2 Oregon State Reser Stadium Corvallis, OR Civil War ABC 47–19 45,722 December 5, 2015 6:20 p.m. w y y 2 Arizona 7 Levi's Stadium Santa Clara, CA Pac-12 Championship Game FOX 51–13 45,618 January 1, 2015, 2015 2:10 p.m. w y y 3 (2) Florida State 2 (3) Rose Bowl Pasadena, CA Rose Bowl–CFP Semifinal, College GameDay ESPN 59–20 91,322 January 12, 2015 5:30 p.m. l y y 2 (2) Ohio State 4 (4) AT&T Stadium Arlington, TX CFP National Championship, College GameDay ESPN 20–42 85,689 Oregon Ducks Schedule 2014 https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/schedule/_/id/2483/season/2014 ESPN September 6, 2023 2014 Oregon Ducks Schedule and Results https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/schools/oregon/2014-schedule.html College Football @ Sports-Reference.com Sports Reference September 6, 2023 2014 Football Schedule https://goducks.com/sports/football/schedule/2014 University of Oregon Athletics September 6, 2023 2023 Oregon Football Record Book https://goducks.com/documents/2023/8/24/2023_Oregon_Football_Record_Book.pdf University of Oregon Athletics 40 September 6, 2023 Rankings 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football rankings Entering the 2014 season the Ducks were ranked at number 3 in the AP Preseason Poll and number 4 in the Coaches' Preseason Poll, receiving a first place vote in each.

Following their first conference victory the Ducks lost ground in both polls, falling to fourth in the Coaches' Poll and losing 5 five first place votes in the AP poll due to their unconvincing victory over Washington State. The Ducks continued to slide down the polls following a crushing upset by Arizona, falling to twelfth in the AP poll and eleventh in the Coaches'. However, the Ducks soon rebounded, rising up through the polls and finishing at number 2 in the CFP poll and number 3 in both the AP and the coaches' polls at the conclusion of the regular season. After their 59–20 win over FSU in the Rose Bowl, the Ducks met the Ohio State Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff National Championship, where they lost 42–20, finishing their season ranked #2 in both the AP and the Coaches polls. 16 9 3 (1) 4 (1) 3 (5) 4 (2) 2 (16) 4 (6) 2 (17) 3 (6) 2 (12) 4 (3) 2 (11) 4 (7) 12 11 9 9 6 7 5 6 5 5 5 4 3 4 (1) 2 3 (1) 3 (6) 2 3 (2) 3 (6) 2 3 (5) 3 (6) 2 3 (8) 3 (7) 2 2 2 Personnel American football positions Glossary of American football Recruiting (college athletics) Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich returns in his second year as Oregon's head coach following what many have considered to be a disappointing debut season, even though he earned 11 wins, including a bowl game victory, something never before achieved by a first year Oregon head coach.http://dailyemerald.com/2014/04/30/kim-mark-helfrich-has-minimal-room-for-error-in-second-season/ Kim: Mark Helfrich has minimal room for error in second season Kim Hayden Emerald Media Group April 30, 2014 DailyEmerald.com September 27, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140924040539/http://dailyemerald.com/2014/04/30/kim-mark-helfrich-has-minimal-room-for-error-in-second-season/ 2014-09-24 dead Following the retirement of longtime defensive coordinator & outside linebackers coach Nick Aliotti at the end of the 2013 season Oregon promoted veteran inside linebackers coach and University of Oregon alumni Don Pellum to the defensive coordinator position (he would maintain the inside linebackers coach position).Don Pellum Named Ducks' Defensive Coordinator http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=209372002 University of Oregon Department of Athletics January 14, 2014 June 18, 2014 dead https://web.archive.org/web/20140617094950/http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=500&ATCLID=209372002 June 17, 2014 To fill the opening at outside linebackers coach Oregon hired former graduate assistant Erik Chinander who at the time was working for the Philadelphia Eagles.Oregon Has Hired Erik Chinander to Coach the Outside Linebackers Matt Prehm https://247sports.com/college/oregon/article/oregon-has-hired-erik-chinander-to-coach-the-outside-linebackers-171512/ 247sports.com January 15, 2014 June 18, 2014 The Ducks continue to have the longest tenured staff of any college football program in the United States.

South Dakota play-by-play https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=400548257&period=0 ESPN September 27, 2014 This touchdown was Mariota's 78th overall as a Duck, beating Joey Harrington for most career combined touchdowns. The Coyotes responded with a 4 and a half-minute drive which ended in a 47-yard field goal from Miles Bergner. On the next Oregon drive, the Ducks went 63 yards in three plays lasting just over a minute, culminating in a 41-yard touchdown pass from Mariota to Byron Marshall. A two-point conversion was attempted, but nullified due to an illegal formation penalty caused by too many players on the line of scrimmage, putting the game at 14–3. South Dakota was forced to punt on the next possession; the punt was downed at the Oregon 1-yard line, and pushed back an additional 6 yards due to an illegal blocking penalty. The Ducks responded with a 9-play, 97-yard drive finished off with true freshman Royce Freeman scoring his first touchdown as an Oregon Duck. South Dakota retained possession from the end of the first quarter into the beginning of the second and would finish their drive with a punt, downed at the Oregon 29-yard line. Oregon couldn't get things going on their first possession of the second quarter and had a 3 and out on a negative running play from Thomas Tyner, two incomplete passes and a punt which was returned to the 50-yard line. South Dakota fought back and put together an 8 play, 42-yard drive culminating in a 25-yard field goal, putting the game at 21–6 with 9:26 left in the half. The Ducks returned the ensuing kick-off to their own 42 yard line and were in the end-zone 5 plays later after a 26-yard run from Freeman. Oregon then forced the Coyotes to punt, taking possession at their own 46 yard line. Byron Marshall started the drive off by breaking free on a 53-yard run, only to drop the ball in celebration on the 1 yard line, the ball went into the end-zone and then out of bounds, causing a touch-back, giving the Coyotes the ball at their own 20 yard line. Oregon's defense then forced the Coyotes to fumble, which Oregon defensive back Dior Mathis recovered. Oregon turned the fumble into points 5 plays later with a touchdown pass from Mariota to Marshall to put the game at 35–6. South Dakota's next drive would be their only drive resulting in a touchdown, they drove the ball 75-yards in 6 plays, finishing with a 3-yard run from Trevor Bouma. The Ducks then recorded the final scoring drive of the first half, going 76-yard on 10 plays, finishing with a 1-yard run from Mariota, only to have the point after attempt fail due to a bad snap. The teams went into the locker rooms at halftime with score at 41–13. Ahead by 28 points and moving the ball at will, the Ducks played many of their backups in the second half. South Dakota was shut out for the entire second half, with Oregon's second string putting together three touchdown drives: a 50-yard punt return by Charles Nelson, a 4-yard touchdown pass from Jeff Lockie to Pharaoh Brown and 9-yard run from Kenny Bassett. While they did not score, South Dakota did close out the fourth quarter with a 69-yard, 17-play drive lasting just over 9 minutes that at one point was on the Oregon 2-yard line, but ended in a turnover on downs, leaving the final score at 62–13. In the game, Mariota passed for three touchdowns and 267 yards, leaving him tied with Darron Thomas for career passing touchdowns (66) and 22 yards away from breaking Bill Musgrave's record for career total offense (8,140 yards).Ducks Run Away from 'Yotes 62-13 http://www.goducks.com/ViewArticle.dbml?ATCLID=209629670&DB_OEM_ID=500 University of Oregon Department of Athletics August 30, 2014 September 27, 2014 Michigan State 2014 Michigan State Spartans football team Oregon Ducks ;text-align:center; autocollapse #7 Michigan State at #3 Oregon – Game summary Saturday, September 6th, 2014 3:30 pm PST #7 Michigan State 0 24 3 0 #3 Oregon 8 10 14 14 Autzen Stadium • Eugene, OR   Temperature: 91 °F °C • Wind: Calm • Weather: Sunny Referee: Michael Cannon (Big Ten) FOX Gus Johnson, Charles Davis, & Molly McGrath http://pac-12.com/content/football-statistics First quarter ORE – Thomas Tyner 1-yard run (Taylor Alie pass to DeForest Buckner for Two-Point Conversion) Second quarter ORE – Matt Wogan 28-yard field goal MSU – Jeremy Langford 16-yard run (Michael Geiger Kick) ORE – Devon Allen 70-yard pass from Marcus Mariota (Wogan Kick) MSU – Geiger 2-yard field goal MSU – Tony Lippett 7-yard pass from Connor Cook (Geiger Kick) MSU – Josiah Price 7-yard pass from Connor Cook (Geiger Kick) Third quarter MSU – Gieger 42-yard field goal ORE – Allen 24-yard pass from Mariota (Wogan Kick) ORE – Keanon Lowe 37-yard pass from Mariota (Wogan kick) Fourth quarter ORE – Royce Freeman 38-yard run (Wogan Kick) ORE – Freeman 14-yard run (Wogan Kick) Top Performers Passing MSU – Connor Cook, 29/47, 343 yards, 2 TD, 2 INT ORE – Marcus Mariota, 17/28, 318 yards, 3 TD Running MSU – Jeremy Langford, 24 carries, 86 yards, 1 TD ORE – Royce Freeman, 13 carries, 89 yards, 2 TD Receiving MSU – Tony Lippett, 11 receptions, 133 yards, 1 TD ORE – Devon Allen, 3 receptions, 110 yards, 2 TD Defense MSU – ORE – Kicking MSU – Michael Geiger, 2/2 FG, 42 yard long, 3/3 XP ORE – Matt Wogan, 1/1 FG, 28 yard long, 5/5 XP special teams MSU – R.J.

Michigan State Play-by-Play https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=400547953&period=0 ESPN September 27, 2014 While driving down the field during their third possession of the game, Michigan State quarterback Connor Cook was intercepted at the Oregon 38 yard line by Erik Dargan. Oregon turned the interception into points two minutes later off of a hard driven 1-yard run by Thomas Tyner, followed by a two-point conversion pass from Taylor Alie to DeForest Buckner. Michigan State would punt the ball on their next possession, closing out the first quarter with Oregon leading 8–0. Oregon finished their first possession of the second quarter with a 28-yard field goal from Matt Wogan to put the game at 11–0, but the remainder of the quarter would belong to Michigan State. The Spartans would go on a 24–7 run, scoring points on all four of their second quarter possessions. While the Spartan defense did allow a 70-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota to track star Devon Allen early in the quarter, they forced the Ducks to punt the ball twice in as many possessions, while also getting two quarterback sacks. Going into half time with the score at 24–18 and the Ducks on the ropes, the Spartans looked to be on their way to victory. Oregon stumbled out of the gate and was forced to punt from their own end zone to start the half, with Michigan State scoring a field goal not long after. However, the rest of the second half would belong to the Ducks, with a commanding defensive performance, Michigan State would not score another point the rest of the game. After the Michigan State field goal, the Ducks and Spartans traded punts, with the Ducks offense looking overwhelmed with the fierce defensive line play from the reigning Big Ten Champions. On their next drive however, Marcus Mariota took over the game for his team, and led the Ducks to scoring drives on their next three possessions. Going into the fourth quarter, the tables had turned on Michigan State, with the Ducks leading the game 39–27. The stout Duck defense would force a turnover on downs deep in their own territory, but on the ensuing possession Oregon was again forced to punt the ball away, giving Michigan State the ball, down 12 points with nine minutes left to play. The Oregon defense again showed their talent by intercepting Connor Cook again, giving their offense back the ball to close out the game. The Oregon offense then methodically drove the 96 yards in six and a half minutes, converting two third downs and scoring a touchdown on fourth down to all but finish the game at 46–27. The victory improved Oregon's all-time record against the Spartans to 3–2.Oregon vs Michigan State Series History http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/michigan-state Collegefootball.bz June 18, 2014 During the game Marcus Mariota threw for 3 touchdown passes, improving his career total to 69, breaking the Oregon record previously held by his predecessor Darron Thomas. Mariota also broke the team record for total-offense, previously held by Bill Musgrave. His 318 passing yards extended his career total to 6,297, passing Joey Harrington for fourth in the Oregon record books.

In their final non-conference game of the regular season the Ducks defeated the Wyoming Cowboys in their first meeting. The Cowboys won the coin toss and elected to receive the first kickoff of the game, Wyoming and Oregon traded punts for their first drives. The Cowboys scored on their second possession, an eleven play, 98-yard drive culminating in an 18-yard touchdown pass from Colby Kirkegaard to Tanner Gentry; the Ducks would not score in the first quarter. Going into the second quarter with the ball and the score 7–0 in favor of Wyoming, the Ducks responded to the Cowboys with four unanswered touchdown drives, scoring on 15 and 19 yard runs from Marcus Mariota, a 30-yard run by Byron Marshall and a 16-yard pass from Mariota to Devon Allen. Erick Dargan would intercept Wyoming quarterback Colby Kirkegaard twice during the second quarter, with Oregon turning both interceptions into touchdowns. On the touchdown run by Marshall the Ducks failed to convert the PAT, the teams went to the locker rooms at half-time with the score at 27–7 in favor of the Ducks. The Ducks continued to put up points, scoring on their first possession of the second half from a 12-yard run by Royce Freeman. For Wyoming's first possession of the second half they turned the ball over after four plays, with Kirkegaard being strip-sacked by Torrodney Prevot, the ball recovered by Christian French. The Ducks again turned a turnover into a touchdown, with Mariota throwing a 5-yard touchdown pass to Johnathan Loyd, his first touchdown as an Oregon Duck football player, to go with his 538 points, 167 rebounds, 368 assists and 118 steals as Oregon's winningest men's basketball player. Wyoming scored in the early minutes of the fourth quarter, bringing the score to 41–14. For the rest of the game the Ducks played most of their backups, and would trade long drives with the Cowboys to run out the clock. Oregon took advantage of their final possession with Kani Benoit running in a 1-yard touchdown to finish off a 15 play, 79-yard drive lasting five and a half minutes. The Cowboys tried to score on their final possession, a 14 play drive going 55-yards and lasting nearly seven minutes, however the Duck defense forced a turnover on downs with ninety seconds to go. During the game Oregon's offensive line continued to be hampered by the injury bug with left tackle Jake Fisher appearing to suffer a high-ankle sprain, along with the loss of Andre Yruretagoyena during the previous week's win over Michigan State, the Ducks will be forced to start backups at both right and left tackle until both men are healthy.

The rest of the first half was a story of the Cougars scoring after long drives, often doing so by making the Oregon defense look terrible against the pass in the process, and Oregon responding with one or two play scoring drives, often taking less than one minute to complete. By the end of the half the score was tied at 21, with time of possession heavily skewed in the Cougars favor nearly two to one. Washington State appeared to be succeeding at a tried and true method of defeating the Ducks: sustaining long offensive drives and achieving crippling penetration of the offensive line. With backups at left and right tackle, Marcus Mariota had been sacked five times in the first half. The story of the second half would be markedly different, with the Ducks having made several adjustments on both sides of the ball. Marcus Mariota was now holding the ball for a significantly shorter period of time in the pocket, often only reading two receivers before running out of the pocket or throwing the ball away. This allowed the Ducks to sustain drives going forward and would lead to the Ducks having the edge in time of possession in the second half (nearly two to one, this time in their favor). On defense, the Cougars were still able to go down the field with relative ease, however the Oregon defense forced several turnovers and field goals, shutting out the Cougars in the third quarter, and only allowing one touchdown for the rest of the game. In the third quarter both teams missed relatively short field goals, though Oregon scored on a pass from Mariota to Pharaoh Brown following a Washington State fumble, forced by DeForest Buckner. Going into the fourth quarter ahead 28–21, the Ducks were still very much fighting to maintain ahead of the Cougars. The quarter began with a 30-yard field goal made by Washington State, only to be responded to by a 34-yard field goal from the Ducks. Washington State then drove the length of the field and scored, tying the game again, at 31. Oregon responded with the final scoring drive of the game with a touchdown pass from Mariota to Keanon Lowe, putting the Ducks up by a touchdown with 5:33 to go in the game. After two completions by the Cougars the Oregon defense bowed their necks, not allowing another play of positive yardage, and sacking the Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday on fourth down, giving the Oregon offense the ball, with the lead, and 3:34 on the clock. The Ducks then ran out the clock, and returned home with a hard-fought win, and serious questions about their offensive line, and defensive secondary. By the end of the game much could be said about the quarterback play by both teams, with a combined completion rate over 70%, 765 passing yards, nine touchdowns and zero interceptions. However, the star of the game was Marcus Mariota, completing 21 of 25 passes attempted, for an 84% completion rating, to go with 329 yards through the air and 58 on the ground, and five touchdown passes. The Ducks extended their lead in the series to 49-36-7 (.571), as well as continuing their current win streak to eight consecutive years.Oregon vs Washington State Series History http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/washington-state Collegefootball.bz June 18, 2014 October 25, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141025072857/http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/washington-state dead They would travel home facing a bye week in which to work on inconsistencies and heal followed by a Thursday night game against the Arizona Wildcats, a team they lost to in 2013.

The Wildcats capitalized on their opening drive by scoring a 28-yard field goal. The Oregon offense then recorded a three-and-out, but got the ball back after Reggie Daniels intercepted Anu Solomon on third down. The Ducks and Wildcats then traded punts, with Oregon maintaining possession going into the second quarter with the score at 3–0 in favor of Arizona. On the second play of the second quarter the Ducks scored on a trick play with running back Royce Freeman lobbing a 26-yard touchdown pass to quarterback Marcus Mariota, his second receiving touchdown as a Duck. The two teams again traded punts, and then traded fumbles, keeping the score at 7–3 going into halftime. Coming out the locker rooms after halftime the Wildcats scored on a 3-yard run by Nick Wilson. Oregon responded following a 72-yard drive capped off with a 6-yard touchdown pass from Mariota to Devon Allen. Arizona continued to pressure Oregon offensively, and scored on a 2-yard run by Nick Wilson, regaining the lead with a score of 17–14. The Wildcats then forced a three-and-out by the Ducks and scored again, on a 34-yard pass from Solomon to Wilson, extending their lead to 24–14. The Ducks maintained possession going into the fourth quarter with a ten-point deficit to make up. They finished their drive with a 21-yard field goal by Matt Wogan, putting the score at 24–17 in favor of Arizona. The Oregon defense then forced a turnover on downs, giving the ball back to their offense, which scored a touchdown on a 9-yard pass from Mariota to Keanon Lowe, evening the score at 24. The Wildcats then drove 71 yards in five and a half minutes, scoring on a 1-yard run by Terris Jones-Grigsby. The Ducks, with just under three minutes to play, were driving quickly down the field, converting two first downs, only to be stopped by a strip sack of Mariota by Scooby Wright III. The Wildcats then ran out the clock, sealing their second victory over the Ducks in as many years. The Ducks maintained their lead in the all-time series, 24–16 (.600); however, every victory earned by the Wildcats since 2007 has been a major upset of the Ducks with each win coming over an Oregon team ranked in the top ten at the time of the game (2007 #2; 2013 #10; 2014 #2).Oregon vs Arizona Series History http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/arizona Collegefootball.bz June 18, 2014 October 6, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141006121021/http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/arizona dead The main storyline following the game continued to be the Ducks' beleaguered offensive line, allowing Mariota to be sacked five times during the game, and unable to effectively run-block or fight back against a three-man pass rush.Arizona stuns No. 2 Oregon, upsets Ducks for 2nd straight season https://www.espn.com/college-football/recap/_/gameId/400548274 AP October 5, 2014 During the game, the Ducks wore uniforms with pink numbers and highlights in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month and to raise money for the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.Kay Yow Cancer Fund, which inspired the Ducks' pink uniforms, donated $100,000 for OHSU cancer research Brettman Allan 3 October 2014 https://www.oregonlive.com/playbooks-profits/index.ssf/2014/10/kay_yow_cancer_fund_which_insp.html The Oregonian October 5, 2014 Additionally, during the playing of the National Anthem the Oregon Marching Band paid tribute to a former trumpet player who lost a battle with cancer during the summer.Oregon Marching Band to honor trumpet player lost to cancer http://www.kmtr.com/about/komen/Oregon-Marching-Band-to-honor-trumpet-player-lost-to-cancer-277959371.html KMTR October 5, 2014 October 5, 2014 https://archive.today/20141005094918/http://www.kmtr.com/about/komen/Oregon-Marching-Band-to-honor-trumpet-player-lost-to-cancer-277959371.html dead UCLA 2014 UCLA Bruins football team Oregon Ducks ;text-align:center; autocollapse #12 Oregon at #18 UCLA – Game summary Saturday, October 11th, 2014 12:30 pm PST #12 Oregon 8 13 14 7 #18 UCLA 0 10 0 20 Rose Bowl • Pasadena, CA 80,139 Temperature: 79 °F °C • Wind: 6 S • Weather: Clear FOX Gus Johnson, Charles Davis, & Molly McGrath First quarter ORE – Marcus Mariota 13-yard run (Taylor Alie Run for Two-Point Conversion) Second quarter UCLA – Ka'imi Fairbairn 20-yard field goal ORE – Thomas Tyner 21-yard pass from Mariota (Matt Wogan Kick) ORE – Pharaoh Brown 31-yard pass from Mariota (Wogan Kick Missed) UCLA – Brett Hundley 16-yard run (Fairbairn Kick) Third quarter ORE – Mariota 23-yard run (Wogan Kick) ORE – Royce Freeman 4-yard run (Wogan Kick) Fourth quarter ORE – Freeman 2-yard run (Wogan Kick) UCLA – Jordan Payton 5-yard pass from Hundley (Miles Jack Run for Two-Point Conversion) UCLA – Nate Starks 9-yard run (Two-Point Attempt Failed) UCLA – Payton 25-yard pass from Hundley (Two-Point Attempt Failed) Top Performers Passing ORE – Marcus Mariota, 17/27, 210 yards, 2 TD UCLA – Brett Hundley, 26/37, 216 yards, 2 TD, INT Running ORE – Royce Freeman, 18 carries, 121 yards, 2 TD UCLA – Paul Perkins, 21 carries, 187 yards Receiving ORE – Pharoah Brown, 5 receptions, 84 yards, TD UCLA – Jordan Payton, 6 receptions, 61 yards, 2 TD Defense ORE – UCLA – Kicking ORE – Matt Wogan, 4/5 XP UCLA – Ka'imi Fairbairn, 1/2 FG, 20 yard long, 1/1 XP special teams ORE – Charles Nelson, 3 KR, 58 yards, 1 PR, 1 yard UCLA – Ishmael Adams, 3 KR, 45 yards In their sixth game of the season the twelfth-ranked Ducks defeated the eighteenth-ranked UCLA Bruins at the Rose Bowl in Los Angeles, CA. With both teams coming off of stinging defeats at home by conference opponents, the game was billed to be a slugfest, with both teams fighting for their season. The expectation proved to be far from the reality that ensued. To start the game both teams traded punts, seemingly still on edge because of their performances from the previous week.Oregon v. UCLA Play-by-Play https://www.espn.com/college-football/playbyplay?gameId=400548282 ESPN December 4, 2015 Oregon eventually struck first, scoring on a 13-yard run by Marcus Mariota after UCLA's Brett Hundley was strip sacked by Tony Washington. The Ducks converted a two-point attempt making the score 8–0 in their favor. The Bruins responded by driving the ball 70 yards in almost 8 minutes that spanned the rest of the first quarter into the second quarter to their own two-yard line; however, they were unable to punch it through a stout Duck defense and were forced to kick a field goal, making the score 8–3. After returning the kickoff following the field goal, the Oregon offense proved to be back in true form, driving the ball 72 yards and scoring on a 21-yard pass from Mariota to Thomas Tyner putting the score at 15–3 with just under 10 minutes to go in the second quarter. UCLA responded to their increasing deficit by quickly driving the length of the field, converting three consecutive first downs, only to be stopped again in the red zone, this time missing the field goal. The Ducks would respond by scoring again, this time on a 31-yard pass from Mariota to Pharaoh Brown, they would miss the PAT, making the score 21–3 with three minutes to go until half-time. The Bruins made the most of their time by scoring on an 84-yard drive, leaving the Ducks with just three seconds on the clock with the score at 21–10. Oregon ran out the three seconds and went into half-time with the lead. UCLA received the ball to begin the second half; after gaining 23 yards they were forced to punt back to Oregon. The Ducks again completed a long drive down the field, this time 80 yards, ending a play that made Marcus Mariota looking more like a point-guard than a quarterback. From their opponent's three-yard line the Ducks ran their staple zone-read play, this time Mariota kept the ball, attempting to run it in for a score. He was tripped on his way to end-zone, dropped the football only to have it bounce back into his hands, causing a defender to freeze just long enough for Mariota to find the end-zone for another score, making the score 28–10 in their favor. The Oregon offense didn't have to wait long to get back on the field after their scoring drive as UCLA's Brett Hundley was intercepted by All-American cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu on their second play of the drive. The Ducks would score two plays later on a 4-yard run by Royce Freeman making the score 35–10. UCLA got the ball back and traded punts with Oregon, with the Ducks maintaining possession going into the fourth quarter, ahead by 25. The Ducks scored again early in the fourth quarter on another Royce Freeman run, this time from just two yards out making the score 42–10. UCLA responded with a 93-yard drive ending a touchdown complete with a two-point conversion, reducing their deficit to 42–18 with just under ten minuted to go. The Ducks put in their second string and tried to run out the clock, however UCLA forced a punt and almost succeeded in achieving what would have been one of the greatest comebacks in school history. With eight minutes left in the game, the Bruins drove 67 yards in three minutes, scored a touchdown and missed two-point attempt making the score 42–24 with 4:21 left to play. The Bruins then recovered an onside kick and again completed a quick scoring drive, missing the two-point attempt to make the score 42–30 with 2:47 to go. The Bruins were unable to recover their next onside kick and with their time outs exhausted by the previous drives they were unable to stop the Ducks from running out the clock, leaving the final score 42–30. Even though they lost, UCLA maintained their lead in the overall series, 39-28 (.582), however Oregon maintains a seven-year win streak (the two teams did not play in 2011).Oregon vs UCLA Series History http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/ucla Collegefootball.bz June 18, 2014 October 6, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141006070413/http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/ucla dead Washington 2014 Washington Huskies football team Oregon–Washington football rivalry Oregon Ducks ;text-align:center; autocollapse Washington at #9 Oregon – Game summary Saturday, October 18th, 2014 5:00 pm PST Washington 6 0 7 7 #9 Oregon 7 21 7 10 Autzen Stadium • Eugene, OR 57,858 Temperature: • Wind: • Weather: Referee: Mark Duddy Fox Sports 1 Joe Davis, Joey Harrington, & Kris Budden First quarter WASH – Cameron Van Winkle 33-yard field goal ORE – Royce Freeman 37-yard run (Matt Wogan Kick) WASH – Van Winkle 40-yard field goal Second quarter ORE – Freeman 3-yard run (Wogan Kick) ORE – Freeman 1-yard run (Wogan Kick) ORE – Byron Marshall 23-yard pass from Marcus Mariota (Wogan Kick) Third quarter ORE – Dwayne Stanford 16-yard pass from Mariota (Wogan Kick) WASH – Deontae Cooper 3-yard pass from Cyler Miles (Van Winkle Kick) Fourth quarter ORE – Freeman 3-yard run (Wogan Kick) WASH – Troy Williams 7-yard run (Van Winkle Kick) ORE – Wogan 26-yard field goal Top Performers Passing WASH – Cyler Miles, 19/28, 147 yards, TD, INT ORE – Marcus Mariota, 24/33, 336 yards, 2 TD Running WASH – John Ross, 2 carries, 44 yards ORE – Royce Freeman, 29 carries, 169 yards, 4 TD Receiving WASH – Deontae Cooper, 6 receptions, 48 yards, TD ORE – Pharaoh Brown, 3 receptions, 99 yards Defense WASH – ORE – Kicking WASH – Cameron Van Winkle, 2/2 FG, 40-yard long, 2/2 XP ORE – Matt Wogan, 1/2 FG, 26-yard long, 6/6 XP special teams WASH – John Ross, 3 KR, 60 yards ORE – Charles Nelson, 2 KR, 38 yards, 1 PR, 1 yard In their annual rivalry game, Oregon defeated the Washington Huskies in Eugene for the eleventh consecutive year, winning each game by at least a margin of 17 points, however, the Huskies still lead the all-time series 58-45-5 (.560).Oregon vs Washington Series History http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/washington Collegefootball.bz June 18, 2014 October 19, 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20141019052606/http://www.collegefootball.bz/oregon/opponents/washington dead In winning their sixth game of the season the Ducks became bowl eligible for the tenth consecutive year, tied for tenth in longest active consecutive bowl appearances.

Coming into the game, Oregon had never beaten Ohio State, holding an 0–8 all-time record against the Buckeyes. Oregon won the coin toss and elected to receive the ball the start the game. The Ducks' first drive featured running back Thomas Tyner and quarterback Marcus Mariota driving Oregon 75 yards and scoring on a 7-yard touchdown pass from Mariota to Keanon Lowe to give Oregon an early 7–0 lead. The Buckeye offense struggled on their first drive, going only 17 yards, and was forced to punt. The Buckeye defense stopped Oregon at midfield on their next possession and forced them to punt, setting up Ohio State inside their own 3-yard line. During the drive, Ohio State went 97 yards and scored their first points of the game on a 33-yard touchdown run from Ezekiel Elliott, tying the game at 7–7. The Buckeye defense forced the Ducks to punt on their next two possessions. The Ohio State offense took advantage by scoring on a touchdown pass from Cardale Jones to Nick Vannett, making the score 14–7 Ohio State at the end of the first quarter. On the fourth play of the second quarter, Ohio State turned the ball over on a fumble by Cardale Jones, giving the Ducks possession of the ball at own 41-yard line. The Ducks drove down to the Ohio State 3-yard line, but were unable to take advantage of the turnover after failing to convert on fourth down. The Buckeye offense took over at their own 1-yard line and quickly drove to midfield. The drive ended, however, on another Ohio State turnover, this time on a pass from Jones to Devin Smith that was fumbled by Smith, which allowed Oregon to take over at their own 9-yard line. Oregon, again, was unable to capitalize on the turnover, with the Buckeye defense forcing a three and out. The ensuing Ohio State possession took only 6 plays and ended with a touchdown run from Jones, giving Ohio State a 21–7 lead. The next Ducks possession went 66 yards in 12 plays and ended with a 26-yard field goal from Aidan Schneider. After the Oregon defense forced a three and out on the Buckeyes' next possession, Oregon went into halftime, trailing Ohio State 21–10. Ohio State received the opening kickoff of the second half. Ohio State turned the ball over on their first possession of the half on a Cardale Jones pass intercepted by Danny Mattingly returned to the Oregon 30-yard line. The Ducks took advantage of the turnover in one play on a 70-yard touchdown pass from Marcus Mariota to Byron Marshall, making the score 21–17 Ohio State. The Buckeyes turned the ball over for a fourth time on their next possession, with Jones fumbling the ball inside Ohio State territory. Aidan Schneider made a 23-yard field goal off of the turnover, with the score 21–20 Ohio State. The Buckeyes' ensuing possession went 75 yards in 12 plays, ending on a 9-yard touchdown run from Ezekiel Elliott to make the score 28–20 Ohio State at the end of the third quarter. After a Buckeye defensive stop, the Ohio State offense and Ezekiel Elliott again scored a touchdown, making the score 35–20 Ohio State early in the fourth quarter. Both teams exchanged punts on their drives. With less than three minutes remaining in the game, the Oregon offense attempted to convert a fourth down, though the pass from Marcus Mariota was incomplete. Ohio State regained possession and scored on a third touchdown from Elliott. The last play of the game was a Mariota pass that was intercepted by Eli Apple and made the final score 42–20. With the loss, Oregon's all-time record against Ohio State fell to 0–9.
