The No. 1 Oregon Ducks demonstrated their dominance once again, securing their eighth consecutive win over No. 20 Illinois 38-9. After the game Oregon coach Dan Lanning emphasized the team’s commitment to explosive plays and relentless effort, which were on full display Saturday.
JON JOHNSON Troy coach Gerad Parker said the health of Tucker Kilcrease factored into the decision to start Matthew Caldwell at Arkansas State and took full responsibility for the final play-call when an interception ended the Trojans’ hopes during a 34-31 loss Saturday.

However, Troy took back the lead 31-26 with 1:45 left in the game on a 2-yard run by Gerald Green, who rushed for 113 yards on 20 carries in the game.
“I made the last call,” Parker said. “It’s very simple. Go win the football game if the football game is able to be won with 10 seconds left. “So the mentality of it was go win the game. If we can’t execute this, then let’s go kick the ball. We didn’t do that in our execution of it, which falls directly on me.
“I just love seeing him ball out because he’s such an amazing guy and such an amazing football player,” Jackson said. “Of course, he knows that there’s room that he has to improve, but he is getting there.”“Unfortunately, we didn’t finish the job … that doesn’t mean there wasn’t a job done,” Parker said. “I think the response of our football team in the second half should be commended. It certainly is the level of play expected.
