Student ticket stub from the memorable 1990 college football game between the Oregon Ducks and the BYU Cougars. The Duck defense intercepted BYU QB Ty Detmer five times and Bill Musgrave threw for three TDs as Oregon upset BYU 31-16. This is the only PSA graded ticket stub from this game. The PSA holder is approximately 7” x 4”.
It was a momentous day in Autzen Stadium history. Televisions nationwide tuned in to see the carnage ensue, expecting #4 BYU to showcase their dominance over the up-and-comers Oregon in sleepy Eugene, OR. But what they got was something far different, as what should have been a celebratory time in the spotlight for BYU’s superstar quarterback Ty Detmer instead became a giant blemish on his Heisman campaign and a vivid beating the Cougars would not forget for a long time. Detmer would be awarded the Heisman Trophy at the end of the season regardless, but on September 29th, 1990, BYU walked into a buzzsaw, an angry Oregon Ducks team out for vengeance, and a packed house fervently cheering on the destruction of one of the top-ranked teams in the nation.
