No. 25 Utah topples No. 5 Oregon, likely ending the Ducks' College Football Playoff hopes - USA TODAY

Utah got 94 yards and three touchdowns on the ground from Tavion Thomas and opportunistic passing from quarterback Cam Rising, who won for his sixth time in seven games since being installed as the starting quarterback.

Defensively, the Utes shut down Oregon's 11th-ranked rushing attack, holding the Ducks to just 63 yards on the ground and 2.7 yards per carry.

Thomas scored a 10-yard touchdown on a third-and-8 right through the middle of the Oregon defense.

After the second miss with 2:02 left in the half, there were some fireworks left. Utah needed just six plays to drive 77 yards for a touchdown that ended with Thomas scoring on a 4-yard run.  

The Utes got a third-down stop and called timeout, forcing a punt which was retuned 78 yards by Britton Covey for a touchdown on the final play of the half. 

The Ducks got on the scoreboard with an Anthony Brown touchdown pass to Devon Williams on their first drive of the second half, but their momentum couldn't be sustained
