Flags flying in opening quarter

USF and Oregon have combined for 12 penalties for 112 yards in the opening quarter, which ended with Oregon leading 8-0 but USF facing a third down from the Ducks' 12. USF had five flags for 44 yards, while Oregon has seven for 68 yards and three USF first downs. At one point, the two teams combined for penalties on four consecutive plays.

The flags aren't a surprise from USF, which ranked third in the NCAA with 8.6 per game this season, but Oregon has already drawn more than their average, which was 5.5 flags for 48 yards.
