Hill's 100th Touch Ends in Fumble | Oregon Ducks Football News

Oregon’s gritty 39-31 loss to Oklahoma State came down to a heartbreaking fumble by sophomore running back Dierre Hill Jr. on the game’s final play — his 100th career touch. Despite posting 74 rushing yards and a solid 4.9 yards per carry, Hill was blindsided by Oklahoma State’s James Williams, who broke through the line and recovered the fumble. Coach Dan Lanning defended Hill, calling the mistake just one in a series of missed opportunities, and emphasized Hill’s consistent contributions throughout the season. The loss underscored Oregon’s offensive struggles, especially up front, where the Cowboys dominated and stifled the Ducks’ ability to sustain drives. Lanning took accountability for the risky play call, admitting he wanted to spark a comeback — but ultimately, execution fell short.
