Projected Scoring Margin: Oregon by 13.0
Actual Scoring Margin: Oregon by 12

Oregon recovered all three of the game's fumbles -- one (by UCLA's Brett Hundley) at the UCLA 13, one (by Oregon's Marcus Mariota) at the UCLA 23, and one (by Oregon's Charles Nelson) at the Oregon 31. The Ducks soon scored after all three recoveries. That was lucky, but the Ducks still did enough to win overall thanks to the type of Oregon run efficiency we're used to seeing (but didn't see in a loss to Arizona). UCLA's defense isn't nearly as good as it was supposed to be, but this was still a lovely win for a team that needed it.
