"Matayo Uiagalelei forced a fumble that set up an Oregon touchdown, Jordon Davison rushed for two scores and the fifth-seeded Ducks smothered No 4 Texas Tech in a 23-0 win in the College Football Playoff quarter-final at the Orange Bowl on Thursday. Dante Moore threw for 234 yards and Atticus Sappington kicked three field goals for Oregon (13-1), which will play either No 1 Indiana or No 9 Alabama in the Peach Bowl a CFP semi-final on 9 January."
"Texas Tech (12-2) entered the game ranked second nationally in scoring (42.5 points per game) and fifth in total offense, but never found its footing. The Red Raiders turned the ball over four times, failed on three fourth-down attempts and produced four three-and-outs. Quarterback Behren Morton finished 18 of 32 for 137 yards and was stripped by Uiagalelei early in the third quarter in Tech territory."
"Uiagalelei returned the fumble into the red zone, and Davison scored on the next play to give Oregon a 13-0 lead. Morton then threw a red-zone interception early in the fourth quarter, before Oregon's defense stopped Texas Tech on fourth down at its own 30 midway through the final period. Davison's one-yard touchdown plunge with 16 seconds remaining completed the scoring."
