Special teams help Oregon thwart Boise State upset bid

Oregon has its special teams to thank for avoiding being upset by Boise State on Saturday night.

The Ducks got a punt return and kickoff return for a TD and a field goal as time expired in the 37-34 win over the Broncos.

There was controversy on one of the touchdowns as it appeared Noah Whittington dropped the football before crossing the goal line. The review booth allowed the TD to stand on a 100-yard kickoff return.

Tez Johnson had an 85-yard punt return for a score.

The winning points came off the foot of Atticus Sappington on a 25-yard field goal as time ran out.
