OREGON POSTGAME NOTEBOOK
Game 4 • Oregon vs. No. 6 Cal • Sept. 26, 2009
•UO faced a top 20 team for the third time in four games this season and improved to 2-1 in those contests.
•The Ducks recorded their first passing touchdown of the season when JR QB Jeremiah Masoli found SR TE Ed Dickson in the 2nd quarter for a 26-yard score.
•Dickson tied an Oregon mark for receptions (11) by a tight end (Josh Wilcox vs. Penn State, Jan. 2, 1995) and racked up the third most yards (148) in a single game by a TE (Blake Spence, 214, vs. Utah, Oct. 18, 1997).
•Dickson's three touchdowns were also a career-high.
•FR RB LaMichael James surpassed the 100-yard rushing mark for the second straight game with 118 on 21 carries.
•SR PK Morgan Flint scored the first non-kicking points of his career, catching a pass from JR QB Nate Costa on a two-point conversion.
•Oregon's 39-point margin of victory against Cal was the highest in the series since a 48-7 UO win in Berkeley in 2001.
•The Ducks were 5-of-5 in Red Zone scoring chances while Cal never reached Oregon's 20-yard line in the contest.
•Chip Kelly became the first UO head coach since Prink Callison in 1932 to win his first three games in Eugene.
•Masoli's streak of scoring at least one rushing touchdown ended at six games.
•SR CB Walter Thurmond III was injured (right knee) returning the opening kickoff and did not return.
•SR FS T.J. Ward missed his third consecutive game due to injury.
•The Ducks wore retro uniforms based on the look they had during the 1996 season.
