You can scratch another name off the list of College Football Playoff hopefuls. Arizona State upset No. 6 Oregon 31-28 in Sun Devil Stadium on Saturday night, handing the Ducks their second loss of the season and essentially eliminating them from College Football Playoff consideration. It wasn't a fluke, nor was it just "one of those things that happens" in college football. Arizona State won the game because Arizona State was the better team for nearly the entire game, withstanding a late fourth-quarter flurry from the Ducks.
The Sun Devils defense flustered the Oregon offense most of the night. Through three quarters, before the game got into mom and dad's liquor cabinet, Arizona State had held Oregon to only seven points and 268 yards of offense. Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert was 10-for-20 for 127 yards, while Arizona State's Jayden Daniels had already thrown for 298 yards. Then the fourth quarter started and things went off the rails.
Arizona State built a 24-7 lead in the fourth following a pair of Herbert interceptions, but just when the game looked to be over, Oregon woke up. The Ducks responded with two touchdowns of their own to cut the deficit to 24-21. Then, facing a third-and-16, Daniels hit Brandon Aiyuk down the sideline for an 80-yard touchdown. Oregon added another touchdown to make it 31-28, but by then it was too late.
The Ducks playoff hopes died in the desert Saturday night, and Arizona State clinched a bowl berth.
Daniels finished the night with 408 yards passing and three scores. Herbert threw for over 300 yards himself, but the two interceptions were the deciding factors in this game. They led to a deficit that was too large to overcome.
