Derek Loville, who led all rushers with 119 yards on 28 carries, scored on a 2-yard run with 14:05 left in the game, making it 28-20. The Ducks moved 39 yards on eight plays after Reed’s 17-yard intercepton return.
A 47-yard field goal by Gregg McCallum with 5:58 remaining and a 29-yard run by Latin Berry with 25 seconds left completed the scoring. Oregon outscored UCLA 28-0 in the second half.
