It only took four years and four games, but receiver Chase Cota has finally scored his first touchdown as an Oregon Duck. Nevermind the fact that he spent his first three seasons in Pasadena as a UCLA Bruin.
The son of Duck legend Chad Cota, Chase went 49 yards on a bubble screen that might have caught the Stanford defense napping. With the clock reaching towards zeros to signify the end of the first quarter, Oregon snapped the ball just before the clock ran out and take a 10-0 lead over Stanford.
While playing with Chip Kelly, Cota found the end zone six times. Oregon is counting on him increasing the number a few more times this season in Cota’s college swan song.
Straight Outta Medford
There’s some of that speed that made Chase Cota so special coming out of South Medford High

Saving Nix’s Stat Line
Bo Nix would have ended the quarter with 10 passing yards yet gets 49 with the buzzer beater.
Felt like an awful quarter and Oregon dominated still

The Offensive Struggles Remain
Oregon’s offense from midfield > Oregon’s offense inside the 20
