Oregon Football Civil War Game


Oregon Ducks vs. Oregon State Beavers | 2020 College Football Highlights
ESPN College Football

The Civil War is an annual football game played between The University of Oregon Ducks from Eugene and the Oregon State Beavers from Corvallis. 

I caught the last few minutes of this game. It was a bit of a nail biter. Oregon State was inches away from the goal line. We had flags, timeouts and clock adjustments. The clock was under one minute. I don't think I've ever seen this much action over such a small area that consumed so little of the game clock. The Beavers make one attempt to score. They fail and their quarterback is injured. They bring in their backup quarterback, a sophomore, and this time (8:53) they manage to score which puts them ahead. Now the Ducks have something like 30 seconds left to answer. They make a valiant attempt, but it fails and they run out of time.
