The Bears trailed by one point at halftime, the third-best showing by a Ducks opponent at the half so far in 2010 (Oregon was tied with Tennessee, 13-13; trailed Stanford, 31-24; and led ASU by four, 28-24, at the end of those halves). Cal trailed by two at the end of the third quarter, the closest an opponent has been to the Ducks after 45 minutes of play (Stanford was next closest, trailing by seven). The two-point loss by the Bears was the Ducks smallest victory margin of the year (ASU lost by 11).
