In 2005 Oregon had success behind senior quarterback Kellen Clemens and a new spread offense. During a game at Arizona Clemens suffered a broken ankle. At that point Oregon was 8-1 (their only loss was to #1 ranked USC 45-13 the loss was vacated in 2010) and still in the hunt for a BCS game. Oregon won their final three games and their success led them into contention for a bid to the Fiesta Bowl.
