Arizona State answered with a 75-yard drive that culminated with a 12-yard touchdown run by running back Kalen Ballage.
The Ducks went back into the lead at 14-7 in the first quarter when Herbert threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Charles Nelson. Oregon stretched the lead to 17-7 when kicker Aidan Schneider made a 36-yard field goal.

Schneider added field goals of 37 and 30 yards to push the Ducks ahead 23-14.
Oregon linebacker Kaulana Apelu got an interception in the final minute of the first half, and the Ducks scored when Herbert threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Brown with nine seconds left in the half to take a 30-14 lead.
Arizona State (5-4, 2-4) scored in the third quarter on a 15-yard run by Ballage. Sterling-Cole tossed a two-point conversion to Ballage to get the Sun Devils within 30-22 with 4:56 left in the third quarter.
Oregon stretched the lead to 33-22 when Schneider converted a 23-yard field goal.
ASU had an answer as Sterling-Cole threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to N'Keal Harry to get within 33-28 with 12:52 left in the game. The Sun Devils failed on a two-point try.
