WATCH: Ty Thompson throws first career TD pass to Terrence Ferguson

This may be a connection Oregon fans might get used to seeing in the next three-plus seasons.

True freshman quarterback Ty Thompson threw the first touchdown pass of his career on a four-yard pass to another true freshman, tight end Terrance Ferguson. It was Ferguson’s first career score.

Thompson was brought into the game to begin the second half as starter Anthony Brown was dinged up just before the haltime break. It wasn’t a good first drive for Thompson as the Ducks were forced to punt. But on his second drive, the freshman led the Ducks on a 10-play, 48-yard touchdown drive to give Oregon a three-possession lead at 24-7 midway through the third quarter over Stony Brook.
