Eugene, OR – With an overall record of 4-4 and a reputation of being the second worst team in the Pac-12, the Oregon Ducks are struggling to stay out of their own way, according to head coach Willie Taggart. Coming off of a hard loss to UCLA Oregon gears up to play Utah (4-3, 1-3) this weekend. Taggart stresses they must play the best they can, regardless of the multiple injuries they have suffered this season.
At this time, there is no say if Justin Herbert will be suiting up. Herbert has been out with a collarbone injury as of Sep. 30th when the Ducks’ won 45-24 against the California Bears. Since Herbert’s absence, Oregon has accumulated a three game losing streak. When Taggart was asked if Herbert plans to return to the field, “Justin’s throwing passes, he’s doing whatever Justin like to do right now… don’t tease me”, Taggart teases with a smirk.

When asked how Oregon plans to take control, Taggart stresses forcing turnovers, playing solid defense and making progressive improvements daily. On offense, taking care of the football is the main objective. Taggart expresses worry over proper preparation with formulating 15 play drives when he sees his team not running the correct routes. “We got to find ways to get those explosive plays that we were getting earlier in the year and that will help our football team out tremendously”, said Taggart.
Struggling to find their offensive identity and power plays, Taggart has high hopes for his Ducks this weekend. Tune in as Oregon hosts the Utah Utes (4-3, 1-3) this Saturday at 2:45 p.m., televised on Pac-12 Networks.

Corvallis, OR – Returning from a bye week Oregon State looked to slow the No. 20 Stanford Cardinal at home, the fourth top 25 ranked opponent for the Beavers this season.
The Stanford Cardinal shattered any hopes the Beavers had of an upset as quarterback Keller Chryst threw his only touchdown of the night to wide receiver JJ Arcega-Whiteside take the lead for the Cardinal and the victory 15-14.
Oregon State was primed to secure their upset victory as they led Stanford 14-9 with 2:38 left in the fourth quarter. Similarly to the end of the first half the Beavers attempted to run the clock down when Ryan Nall fumbled and the Cardinal recovered on the Oregon State 43 yard line.

Even after the costly mistake the Oregon State defense was in a position to become the heroes of the night in front of a crowd that was ready to storm the field after they forced another Cardinal fourth down. Prior to the snap coach Hall frantically tried to call timeout to make an adjustment in his secondary however the referee did not notice and Stanford was able to convert on fourth down.
Notably absent from the Thursday night Pac-12 Conference matchup was Stanford Heisman hopeful and national rushing leader Bryce Love, who was inactive with an ankle injury.

After a scoreless and slow first quarter, Oregon State looked to get their playmaker Ryan Nall involved any way possible. Running Nall out of wildcat, designed zone reads and taking direct snaps, Nall led the Beavers to their first scoring drive of the night with 47 rushing yards that series alone. A 3-yard touchdown rush by quarterback Darell Garretson quickly capped off the drive giving the Beavers their first lead of the game at 7-3.
Following two impressive defensive stands the Beavers were 1st and 10 on their own 18-yard line with 51 seconds left in the half. Set to receive the ball at the start of the second half, Oregon State was attempting to conservatively run the clock out and maintain a lead of 4 points when Garretson lost a costly fumble on a miscommunication between himself and Ryan Nall. The fumble set up another Cardinal field goal cutting the Beaver’s lead to 1 at 7-6 to end of the first half.
On the opening drive of the second half Oregon State’s offense found the end zone again, this time with an 18-yard touchdown run by Thomas Tyner extending their lead to 8 at 14-6. The Cardinal would later counter with their third field goal of the night bringing the score to 14-9.

After the game Oregon State interim head coach Cory Hall stated, “Beaver football is changing”.
When asked where the change has come from Hall replied, “I’ve always believed a team is going to take on the identity of their head coach, and I’m no one to be pushed around”.
This newfound mentality has been obvious since Hall’s takeover on October 9th, when former head coach Gary Anderson and Oregon State mutually parted ways.

In only his second game as interim head coach Hall’s Beavers held the high-powered Stanford offence that scored 58, 34, 23 and 49 points respectively in their last four games to only 15 total points. An admirable feat regardless of Bryce Love’s absence from the team who allowed Portland State to amount 32 points earlier this season under Anderson.
Oregon State may not have won the upset they had dreamt of tonight, but in an already lost season the “change” that coach Hall has been able to instill in his short time in charge is far more important.

Pasadena, CA – A Bruin team desperate for a win came out and played desperation football Saturday at the Rose Bowl. UCLA ended its 6-game losing streak to Oregon with a 31-14 victory over the Ducks.
If UCLA wanted to keep alive any possibility of playing in a bowl game at the end of the season, a loss to Oregon wasn’t going to suffice.
In a season where UCLA’s defense hasn’t given QB Josh Rosen much of an opportunity to play with a modest lead, the Bruins jumped out to a quick 14-0 lead in the first quarter.

Both UCLA’s offense and defense took a step down in the 2nd quarter. Oregon shortened the Bruins lead to 7 on a 7-yard touchdown run by Oregon QB Braxton Burmeister. Burmeister would reach the end zone once again in the quarter, this time from 4-yards on a read-option.
UCLA’s offense fell out of rhythm after its first two drives and failed to get points on the board in the 2nd quarter to send both teams into the half tied at 14.
An Achilles heel for the UCLA defense the entire campaign has been allowing teams to convert on third and long situations. In the first, a couple of penalties on third down for the Bruins prolonged multiplied drives for the Ducks.
In the second half, UCLA’s defense forced Oregon into several third and long situations and much to head coach Jim Mora’s pleasure, they were able to get off the field.
“We performed really well today,” said safety Adarius Pickett, “It’s extremely important to get any turnover.”

Mora has been vocal about not having enough takeaways on the defensive end. In the first half, UCLA was able to cash in on a fumble recovery to give the team an early 7-0 lead. In the second, although they weren’t able to take advantage, UCLA’s defense gave its offense another extra possession when they picked off Burmeister in the third quarter.
UCLA added to their 17-14 lead in the 3rd quarter on a 40 play 87-yard drive that ended with a spectacular 22-yard touchdown run by Bolu Olorunfunmi. The Bruins added to their lead with a 1-yard touchdown pass from Rosen to Darren Andrews in the fourth quarter. UCLA held the Ducks scoreless in the second half.

Rosen finished the game 21 of 36 for 266 yards and 2 touchdowns. Walk-on WR Christian Pabico had himself a coming out party and lead the team with 99 yard receiving and 1 touchdown on 4 catches.
“We had some guys step up and do a tremendous job,” said coach Jim Mora, “That’s what it takes, takes a team banding together.”
UCLA will travel to Washington next week to take on the Huskies Stadium.

Torrance, Ca- On Senior night St John Bosco Braves got all they could handle on the field from visiting Santa Margarita Eagles in close one 40-38 victory at Murdock Stadium at El Camino College.
Bosco now played back to back weeks at Murdock so the team is starting to feel at home and obtaining this hard fought win was well worth it.
Players make plays is a calling card for coaches, like Jason Negro who looks to put top kids on the field and expects them to perform.
Sophomore sensation Kristopher Hutson scored two touchdowns for the Braves to have a breakout game.
“It felt really good,” said Hutson “I was hungry and I had to step up and make plays.”

Santa Margarita started the game fast scoring the first 14 points behind quarterback Josaih Norwood. He scored second touchdown standing tall walking in end zone in 1st quarter 5:05 on the clock.

Eagles defense lack of size they made up for it with heart and effort. They had three fourth down stops in the red zone slowing down the Braves.
The Eagles offensive battled back but in the end was a field goal away from a win.

Los Angeles, CA – With 42 seconds left on the clock Utah Utes lines up to go for a two point conversion being down by one 28-27. The home town hero quarterback Troy Williams had ball in his hands rolling to his right dodging defends looking for a open man, but sacked from behind.

Darnold is starting to trust his tight end Tyler Petite who he threw into double coverage almost a jump ball for score to close gap 21-14 with 5:56 in 3rd quarter. He connected with Petite in first half on a 52 yard touchdown.

The Coliseum has not been a good place for the Utes to play dropping seven of last eight meetings in Los Angeles.
Utah hometown hero from Los Angeles Troy Williams back behind center threw for 262 yards, with two touchdowns but was sacked 4 times too many. The last sack or tackle was the last draw.
“I feel like I had a good game. Not good enough,” said Williams, “Hopefully we just keep grinding.”

A nice compliment to Williams arm is running back Zack Moss who gained 141 on 20 carries to average 7.1 yards a carry.
Darnold second fumble of the game cost his team a touchdown for the first score of the game, 7 – 0 Utah 6:08 on the clock. But he stayed focused while Ronald Jones II and running game got started.

Los Angeles, CA – Crenshaw running back Solomon Hassen took the handoff, broke a tackle near the sideline and raced 73 yards for a touchdown. The L.A. High transfer rushed for 172 yards and three touchdowns as Crenshaw beat rival Dorsey, 33-14, on Friday night.
The Cougars looked primed for a run at the Coliseum League title and maybe a deep run in the new Open Division playoffs.
“That was a statement to me,” Hassen said. “Nobody in the city can handle us, I’m talking to Narbonne right there.”

Crenshaw took a 7-0 lead on a 2-yard run by Hassen on the opening drive. After a Dorsey punt, quarterback Isaiah Johnson hit Dennis Patrick for a 47-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead.
“The game plan was to play fast,” Hassen said. “We wanted to get on top of them in the first quarter and we did that. They couldn’t hang with us from there.”

Dorsey looked for a spark and got it on a partially blocked punt, giving them good position at Crenshaw’s 28-yard line. Dons’ running back JoJuan Collins raced to the end zone for a 3-yard touchdown to cut Crenshaw’s lead, 14-7, in the second quarter.
“They beat us last year so I wanted to come out with the fire I had from the loss,” Johnson said. “We wanted to pound the rock inside. We have faster backs then their linebackers and it showed on the field.”

Johnson scored on a 13-yard run to extend the Cougars lead, 27-7, going into halftime. After a Crenshaw fumble, junior running back Charles Mincy Jr. scored from three yards out. Dorsey trailed Crenshaw, 27-14 in the third quarter.
Hassen scored his third touchdown of the game on a 35-yard run up the middle, putting the game out of reach in the fourth quarter. Hassen finished with 172 yards.

Torrance, CA – After back-to-back losses and a bye week, the El Camino College football team returned to the field in dramatic fashion, scoring early and often against rival L.A. Harbor College.
Freshman running back Jacobi Hardy scored three first half touchdowns to help El Camino beat the Seahawks, 48-20, on Thursday night at Murdock Stadium.
“We took care of business tonight,” said El Camino coach Gifford Lindheim. “It was a good win on homecoming. We have to get ready for a tough conference schedule, with Mt. SAC next week.”

El Camino has a number of running backs who can make things happen on offense. Hardy made the best of his opportunities against the Seahawks, scoring from three yards out on the Warriors opening drive.
On the ensuing drive, El Camino defensive lineman Shawn Richard stripped Seahawks’ quarterback Jalin Scott. The Warriors capitalized on the first play with Hardy’s 9-yard touchdown run.

“The O-line was making holes and creating space for me,” Hardy, who finished with 56 yards on 11 carries, said. “When it wasn’t there, I knew their defense could not do a lot against the speed so I just did what I could to get up field.”
Quarterback Cole Klayman extended the lead when he found wide receiver Trevon Clark in the end zone for a 17-yard touchdown in the first quarter.

Hardy scored his third touchdown of the first half on a 15-yard run and the rout was on. El Camino led at halftime, 35-0.
On defense, the Warriors forced six turnovers, including five interceptions from five different players.
“We think we have a pretty good football team,” Lindheim said. “We have showed that we can play with anybody.”
