14:26: Moore is sacked on the first play of the fourth and the Ducks will punt.

Fourth quarter

End of third quarter: Indiana 20, Oregon 13

13:38: Oregon’s defense comes out of the break with momentum. The Ducks force a three-and-out to force a punt.

Third quarter

8:00: Give the Autzen crowd a lot of credit here: they just blew up another Indiana drive. Going for it on 4th-and-short, Indiana picks up another false start, leading to a punt.

9:18: A promising Oregon drive stalls inside of Indiana territory after Jamari Johnson can’t hang on to a Moore pass to convert on 2nd-and-6. Moore was stopped for no gain on the next play, setting up a 40-yard Atticus Sappington field goal. It’s 10-10.

Start of second quarter

End of first quarter: Oregon 7, Indiana 10

8:16: Dan Lanning will not be going for it this time — the Ducks go three-and-out, setting up a fourth-and-long that brings out the UO punt team for the first time today. Indiana takes over on its own 22. Indiana’s defense, so far, is giving the Ducks nowhere to run.

9:42: The Ducks were stymied on the opening drive of the game, being stopped on fourth down to turn the ball over to Indiana. While Indiana took over with great field position, the Ducks were able to limit the Hoosiers to a 42-yard field goal. Indiana leads 3-0.
