Oregon falls, 17-13, at Utah

? Alex Smith passed for a career-best 340 yards and two touchdowns as Utah beat a ranked opponent for the first time in four years by shocking No. 19 Oregon, 17-13, Friday night.

Smith completed 25 of 38 passes as the Utes (4-1) handed the Ducks (4-2) their second straight loss after beating then-No. 3 Michigan.

Oregon, which had nine turnovers last week in a 55-16 loss to Washington State, had just two Friday, but the Ducks were shut out in the second half. Oregon had a final chance after stopping Utah on a fourth-and-goal from inside the one with 31.3 seconds left, but didn’t have enough time to move the ball the length of the field. The game ended on an 18-yard completion from Kellen Clemens to Demetrius Williams at the Oregon 34.

The Utes lingered for several minutes as the crowd of 44,676 continued to cheer. It was Utah’s first win over a ranked opponent since beating Brigham Young — also ranked 19th — 20-17 in 1999.
