Oregon Scores, Adds Two-Point Conversion, Retakes Lead From Auburn

The 2011 BCS Championship Game has, to turn a common phrase, gone ham, very early on in the second quarter, and at the end of the latest burst of action, the Oregon Ducks will hold their second lead of the night, in spectacular fashion.

Oregon sets up pinned deep at their own seven-yard line, but they won't stay there for long: On first down, with 11:55 remaining in the half, Darron Thomas hauls off and launches one way, way downfield, hitting Jeff Maehl in stride for an 81-yard gain. Maehl's pushed out of bounds at the 12-yard line, and the Ducks put it on the ground, handing off to Kenjon Barner for a four-yard run. James will get it through the air for the score, catching an 8-yard touchdown pass from Thomas. It's what happens next that's the story: A two-point conversion attempt with kicker Rob Beard catching a pitch and skating into the endzone practically on his face. With 11:05 remaining in the second quarter, Oregon leads Auburn, 11-7.
