Oregon offensive lineman Jackson Powers-Johnson had his highlight moment wiped away Friday against Washington.
Oregon trailed 20-17 in the third quarter against Washington in the Pac-12 Championship Game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nev.
The Ducks were facing first-and-10 at Washington’s 11-yard line with just over two minutes remaining in the third quarter.
Oregon quarterback Bo Nix rushed up the middle and fell on his knees. The ball squirted out of his hands as he hit the ground, which led to a Powers-Johnson scoop-and-score.
Powers-Johnson and his teammates celebrated what they initially thought was a go-ahead touchdown. The junior went straight to the ESPN camera and channeled his inner Russell Crowe from the 2001 blockbuster “Gladiator.”
“Are you not entertained?” said Powers-Johnson to the camera.
Unfortunately for Powers-Johnson, Nix was deemed down before he lost the ball.
Oregon still managed to score one play later thanks running back Jordan James, who completed a six-yard touchdown run after Washington was flagged for offsides on the previous play.
