CB JAY'ONN MYLES PICKS OFF A JAKE RODRIGUES PASS
CLOSE DOESN'T COUNT
Pacific hangs in Eugene but can't close out the Ducks

Eugene, Oregon -
"Close doesn't count!" Pacific defensive coordinator Chuck Bresnahan shouted as he slammed a fist on the table before exiting the post game press conference. The outburst was in response to what seemed like the 100th question regarding any sort of good feelings surrounding such a close loss. Bresnahan had answered several prior versions of the question by saying that even close loses are still losses.

With Marcus Mariota out due to an injury Bresnahan felt his team had a good chance at pressuring redshirt freshman QB Jake Rodrigues into mistakes. Rodrigues completed 50% of his 28 pass attempts for 204 yards and a touchdown and was intercepted twice in the game.

While Rodrigues' play left a lot to be desired he made plays when they were needed, including a 29 yard completion to Josh Huff on fourth and six with 1:12 left in the game. Oregon was able to run out the clock following that play and hold on for the narrow win. Oregon had lined up for a field goal but a false start backed them up out of field goal range and they elected to go for it.

The game with Pacific quarterback Andrew McDonald throwing an interception in the redzone to put a stop to their first possession. Jay'Onn Myles picked off Rodrigues inside the Pacific five yard line on the Ducks first possession and returned it to the Oregon 48. Nine plays later McDonald was intercepted in the Oregon endzone.

Following stalled possessions for each team Oregon put the first points of the game on the board when Rodrigues connected with Huff for a 13 yard score midway through the second quarter.

Kris Gudmundsson badly missed a 46 yard field goal attempt later in the quarter. Pacific linebacker Arvis Price III picked off Rodrigues on the eighth play of the Ducks ensuing drive and Oregon maintained their 7-0 lead at the break.

Oregon kicker Alejandro Maldonado connected from 35 yards out to make it 10-0 on Oregon's first second half possession.

Pacific cut into the lead with a 10 play drive that covered 83 yards and culminated in a 29 yard McDonald touchdown pass to Darrin Duncan who ran past his defender and caught a perfectly placed ball over his right shoulder on the left sideline.

Oregon punted. Pacific punted. Oregon turned the ball over on a fumble. Pacific punted.

With 4:21 left in the game Oregon made it 13-7 with an 18 yard field goal by Maldonado.

Pacific punted. Oregon punted.

With 1:56 left to play McDonald took a big hit on a sack. He badly missed open receivers on the next two plays and Pacific turned the ball over on downs.

Coach Fassel was asked about McDonald and if he should have come out of the game to which he simply replied "I don't know, I didn't think he was hurt. He didn't indicate he was hurt."

On fourth and just over one from the Pacific 33 yard line Oregon lined up for what would be a 50 yard pass. Following a false start that moved them back to the 38 yard line they decided to go for it. Rodrigues took the snap, moved to his right and stepped up in the pocket before hitting Josh Huff for a gain of 29 yards down inside the 12 yard line. Oregon then ran the clock out.

McDonald settled down somewhat after the pair of interceptions, finishing the game 19 of 38 for 198 yards and a touchdown. Nothing much happened in the running game with the team picking up just 72 yards on 34 rushes. Braden Bishop led the team with 51 yards on four receptions.

Oregon rolled up 407 yards of offense with near perfect balance, 203 on the ground and 204 through the air.

RB KHALFANI MUHAMMAD SCORES THE FIRST OF HIS TWO TOUCHDOWNS IN PACIFIC'S WIN OVER TEXAS STATE
PACIFIC TOPS TEXAS STATE FOR HISTORIC WIN
Pacific's first win since October of 1995

Stockton, California -
The last time Pacific won a football game Khalfani Muhammad was 13 months old. Earlier today he helped the Tigers secure a big win over Texas State at Stagg Coliseum by running for 76 yards and a pair of scores.

Pacific gave up an 18 yard touchdown run by T Franks on the Bobcats first possession. They would tie the game late in the first quarter when Andrew McDonald connected with Darrin Duncan for a three yard touchdown pass.

Texas State took over in the second quarter with J Iwuji picking off McDonald and taking it 36 yards for a score to put the Bobcats up 14-7. The pick was McDonald's second of the game and it resulted in him being replaced by Myles Carr once again.

Texas State made it 17-7 before halftime with a 34 yard field goal by W Johnson.

The Tigers asserted themselves in the third quarter with Khalfani Muhammad scoring touchdowns on runs of six and two yards and Kris Gudmundsson connecting on a 36 yard field goal. Gudmunsson had missed a pair of field goals earlier in the game and the coaching staff almost went for it on fourth down but Gudmundsson was able to connect to make it 24-17 Pacific, a score that held until Texas State's Johnson connected on a 49 yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter. Texas State retook the lead a few minutes later on a 16 yard touchdown run by T Gay.

With 1:23 left in the game Ty Francis Jr was in. He took the shotgun snap and kept on a read option, running around the left side and into the endzone for a four yard touchdown that put the Tigers up 31-27 after the extra point by Gudmundsson.

The Pacific defense bent but didn't break and they held onto the win.

"Historic. It feels great." Head coach John Fassel said after the game. "This whole team has been working very hard to get to this point and it feels great to get it done here in our first home game.

RB KHALFANI MUHAMMAD SCORES ON A 74 YARD CATCH AND RUN TO HELP PACIFIC WIN THEIR SECOND STRAIGHT
PACIFIC TOPS TEXAS STATE FOR HISTORIC WIN
Pacific's first win since October of 1995

Stockton, California -
A week after winning their first game since 1995 the Pacific Tigers football team did it again as they held on to beat Air Force 30-28 at Stagg Coliseum.

Air Force out-gained Pacific 424 yards to 364 and had two takeaways while Pacific had none. It all came down to a last-second field goal miss by Air Force's Briceton Cannada, who missed both of his field goal attempts on the day. Pacific's kicker Kris Gudmundsson, who has struggled throughout the season, connected on his lone field goal attempt and hit all three of his extra points.

Air Force jumped out to an early lead, leaning heavily on their option run game and getting six points on a five yard touchdown run by Jon Lee on thier first possession. QB Karson Roberts' 29 yard run sparked the drive. Gudmundsson made it 7-3 with a 23 yard field goal late in the first quarter.

The second play of the second quarter was another touchdown run by Air Force's Lee, this time from four yards out. On the next possession Pacific fullback Cody Barnett carried twice from the one yard line, scoring on the second and making the score 14-10 Air Force.

Khalfani Muhammad put Pacific in the lead with an 18 yard touchdown run with 1:18 left in the first half. Roberts completed passes of 40 and 22 yards and ran for 16 more setting up Anthony LaCoste for a one yard TD run before halftime. Air Force led 21-17 at the break.

Following an exchange of punts Pacific QB Myles Carr, who started in place of the struggling Andrew McDonald, was intercepted by Air Force. The Falcons turned it into another Lee touchdown run and led 28-17 with just under three minutes left in the third quarter.

On Pacific's first offensive play following the Lee touchdown Carr connected with Muhammad on a wheel route and the speedy back went 74 yards untouched for the score. Gudmundsson made it 28-24 with the point after.

Air Force punted and three plays later Muhammad lost the ball on a fumble that Air Force recovered. The Falcons offense couldn't get anything going and they punted it back to Pacific on the final play of the third quarter.

Pacific punted to end their next drive. Cannada missed a 30 yard field goal for Air Force. Both teams punted.

With 4:20 to play Pacific took over at their 26. Carr scrambled and slid after a gain of 12. Carr connected with runningback Rashad Hall for a gain of five. Hall ran for a gain of two. Carr connected with Braden Bishop for a gain of 12 yards, down to the Air Force 44 yard line. Hall ran for five yards. Wallace Kenney ran for seven yards. Hall again for a yard. Carr to Hall for four yards. Carr to Kenney on a screen lost a yard then Carr found Hall again for a gain of 14 yards down to the 13. Kenney got another carry for a gain of four. Ty Francis Jr checked in at QB, kept on a read option and scored what would be the game winning touchdown from nine yards out. Pacific went for two and Kenney was stopped for no gain.

Air Force completed passes of 43 and 11 yards and Lee ran for four yards to set up Cannada form 39 but he pushed it wide left and Pacific held on for their second win of the season.

"Well we'd liked to have done a bit better defensively on that last possession but we'll take the win. I'm very proud of what we've been able to accomplish here at the Stagg these past couple games. There's a lot of excitement around this program already and we're hoping to keep it going." Head coach John Fassel said following the game.

CENTER FRANCIS SUMMERS JR SIGNS WITH PACIFIC
Roseville, California native is first Class of 14 signee
October 6, 2013

The Tigers got good news the day after holding on to beat Air Force when center Francis Summers Jr announced his commitment to Pacific.

Summers is the #71 center and a one star prospect according to SPARQ.

Summers is listed at 6'3" and 296 pounds on the Roseville High roster.

He chose Pacific over UNLV, San Jose State and New Mexico State.

Summers was on hand for the win over Texas State and nearly signed the following Monday but decided to wait a week. After the win over Air Force he made the call.

Pacific is thin along the offensive line with just ten players on the roster this season and will have four of those 10 moving on after this season. Summers could make an impact as a true freshman in 2014.
