PASADENA, Calif. – Oregon’s offense took place in LA. The defense showed up too. UCLA, despite its geography being in town albeit 45 miles away from the historic site it calls home, was an unfortunate extra in a game that will mark a historic moment as the inaugural Big Ten game for the Ducks.

It was exactly the show expected from a top 10 team against an overmatched foe, at least in the first half. Dillon Gabriel was again accurate and efficient, though he gave Tinseltown a dose of drama with his first interception of the season, which was returned by former Ducks safety Bryan Addison for a touchdown before halftime.
