Oklahoma’s second half win, 37-20

Ducks stuns Sooners
 
The Ducks won over Sooners sealing a 34-33 victory last Saturday. This is the third time they played against the Oregons in three years.

"This shows the nation we can play with the big boys," Oregon rover Patrick Chung said. "We beat Oklahoma, No. 15 in the nation, and now you have to watch out for Oregon."

Dennis Dixon rallied for two late touchdowns and blocked a field goal on the final play.

After recovering the bouncing kick on their own 48, the Sooners then argued that an Oregon player touched the ball before it went the required 10 yards, which would have given the Sooners possession.

Luke Bellotti is unaccustomed to the spotlight. He is best known as the son of Oregon's head football coach Mike Bellotti. But Luke played a prominent role in last Saturday’s game against the Sooners.

Bellotti is used only in on-side kick situations. The time was right for him to step up.
His left-footed kick bounced high in the air toward the right side of Oklahoma's "hands team" lined up near the Ducks' 45-yard line and was recovered by Patrick Chung at the Ducks' 48.

Bellotti's role in the victory made his dad proud.

Oklahoma running back Adrian Peterson, who is among the frontrunners for the Heisman Trophy, lived up to his billing. He gained 211 yards on 34 carries and a touchdown, including 16 rushes for 145 yards in the final quarter.

"Words can't express how I feel right now," Peterson said. "Fought hard for four quarters and came up short."

Late in the first half the Oregons were taking the lead, but they were charged with a pair of false start penalties and holding. Oklahoma settled for Hartley's 20-yard field goal to narrow it to 10-6.

Paul Martinez 38-yard field-goal attempt hit the crossbar and bounced good between the uprights to make it 13-6 at the half.
