The Oregon Ducks have emerged victorious, defeating the Texas Tech Red Raiders 45-38 in a thrilling College Football Playoff Quarterfinals matchup. The Ducks’ high-powered offense was led by quarterback Tyler Shough, who threw for 322 yards and two touchdowns. Texas Tech, on the other hand, struggled to contain the Ducks’ dynamic running game, which racked up over 200 yards on the ground. The Red Raiders were unable to recover from a slow start, which saw them trail 21-7 at halftime. The Red Raiders did manage to mount a late-game surge, scoring two touchdowns in the final minutes of play to cut the deficit to just seven points with only seconds remaining. However, the Ducks’ defense held strong, intercepting a Hail Mary attempt by Texas Tech quarterback Davis Webb to seal the victory. Oregon’s victory sets up a semifinal matchup against either Alabama or Ohio State, which will be determined by the outcome of tonight’s other quarterfinals game.

Shough was named the game’s MVP after throwing for 322 yards and two touchdowns, while running back Travis Dye added 127 yards on the ground and a touchdown for Oregon. For Texas Tech, Webb threw for 305 yards and two touchdowns, but was unable to lead his team to victory despite a late-game surge. The Ducks’ victory is a testament to their resilience and determination, which has carried them throughout the season. With this win, they have proven themselves as one of the top teams in college football, and will look to make a deep run in the College Football Playoff tournament. The Red Raiders, on the other hand, will regroup and refocus for next week’s matchup, looking to bounce back from a tough defeat at the hands of their Pac-12 rivals.
