Questionable Officiating Oregon Ducks vs. Maryland Terrapins: Pass Interference Penalty
The Oregon Ducks lead the Maryland Terrapins on Saturday night at Autzen Stadium, and the officiating crew has made some questionable penalty calls that extended drives for the Maryland offense. The Ducks have 70 penalty yards so far. It was a rough start on special teams for the Ducks as well.
Lanning: “We Can Be A Lot Better”
The Oregon Ducks took a 21-10 lead into the half against the visiting Maryland Terrapins. Even with the double-digit halftime lead, Ducks’ coach Dan Lanning was adamant that the Ducks can be much better in the second half. He spoke to Big Ten Network’s Brooke Fletcher after the first half.
“We can be a lot better. We’re not playing clean right now,” Lanning said. “To our standard, we’ve got a lot more left in the tank that we can go attack right now into halftime.”
The Ducks have had penalties to extend multiple Maryland drives. Lanning and the Ducks will try to start fresh in the second half.
“It’s a new quarter, it’s a new game right now,” Lanning said. “We get he opportunity to have the ball at the half, and we have the opportunity to be aggressive and take advantage of that.”
Oregon has not faced much adversity of late, so learning how to bounce back from these mistakes could be a good thing moving forward.
Ducks Making Careless Mistakes
On the opening drive of the game, the Ducks forced a Maryland three and out. While Maryland was punting on fourth down, Oregon roughed the Maryland punter, giving the Terrapins an automatic first down. Maryland ended up driving for a field goal on that drive.
The Ducks had their own three and out to start the game. Oregon had a bad punt off the side of punter Ross James’s foot and only traveled 32 yards.
Luckily for the Ducks, their defense stepped up and forced a three-and-out. However, on the punt, the Ducks muffed it and got lucky to retain possession.
This would not be the last mistake Oregon would make. On the lone Maryland touchdown drive in the first half, the Ducks committed multiple drive-extending penalties. Oregon defensive back Tysheem Johnson committed some questionable defensive pass interference penalties to keep the drive going. There was also a facemask called on the Ducks’ defensive lineman Derrick Harmon during a sack.

MARYLAND – Big changes could be coming to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
What we know:
After years of planning, the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) Board will vote Thursday on a replacement for the current Bay Bridge.
On Tuesday, the Board’s staff publicly released their recommendation: what’s called “Alternative C,” which they said includes:
- “Two new four-lane bridge spans with full shoulders across the Chesapeake Bay, enhancing safety while providing additional transportation capacity, reliability and mobility.”
- “Removal of the existing Bay Bridge spans, addressing existing roadway deficiencies including narrow lanes and lack of shoulders, eliminating the need for major rehabilitation projects and associated lane closures and delays, and increasing navigational clearance to meet U.S. Coast Guard requirements. The navigational clearance will match that of the new Key Bridge, allowing larger ships to access the Port of Baltimore.”
- “Widening of US 50/301 to eight lanes (four per direction) from west of Oceanic Drive to east of Cox Creek to accommodate transitions to the new crossing.”
- “Financial commitments for transit-related improvements.”
- “An optional bicycle and pedestrian shared-use path, which the MDTA will further evaluate to determine if it should be included.”
Officials estimated that the total cost of the project would be between $14.8 and $17.6 billion, depending on whether the shared-use path is ultimately included. Although, they cautioned that those figures are very preliminary.
What they’re saying:
“The bridges are aging,” said Maryland Transportation Authority Director of Planning and Program Development Melissa Williams. “Just like your older car, you put more and more money in as the year’s go on, and sometimes you get to the point where it just makes more sense to replace than to put money in.”
Most drivers who spoke with FOX 5 Wednesday evening were intrigued by the plan.
“We already have so much traffic as it is, especially on Fridays, the weekends,” said Jason Ramos. “It’s just insane.”
Still, Williams said the bridge replacement plan wouldn’t alleviate traffic altogether.
“Building this bridge will be a huge step in helping address traffic in the corridor,” she explained. “Will it completely eliminate it? I wish I could say yes, but the answer is no.”
What’s next:
There is a lot more to come before plans for a new bridge are finalized.
Thursday’s MDTA vote would give way to public hearings, scheduled for early next year. Then, federal officials would still have to give their final approval, which would likely take place in late 2026.
Officials said the earliest construction would begin is likely in the Summer of 2032.
