Ducks’ Hopes Look Doomed After Loss To Asu

Pac-10

Jake Plummer engineered two touchdown drives in the final 5 minutes Saturday as Arizona State came from behind to upset 10th-ranked Oregon 35-24 at Eugene, Ore.

The lead changed hands four times in the second half, with the Sun Devils (2-3, 4-4) going ahead for good 28-24 when tight end Steve Bush made a diving, fingertip catch of a 3-yard touchdown pass from Plummer on fourth-and-1 with 4:12 to play. Oregon dropped to 3-2, 6-2.
