Down 20-6 halfway through the second quarter on Saturday night in Eugene, the Ducks decided to make a change at quarterback against Utah.

Vernon Adams Jr., who had started the game for the Ducks despite a broken right index finger, couldn't get much going in the first half and went 2/7 for 26 yards and a touchdown before being pulled.

Jeff Lockie, Adams' backup, was called upon to replace Adams. On his first drive, Lockie was 4/5 for 50 yards and a touchdown. Last week in his first career start, Lockie was 23-of-31 for 228 yards and two touchdowns.
