Oregon TE Ed Dickson continued his impressive season catching the ball in the Ducks' 44-41, double-overtime win at Arizona, and in the process solidified his third-round grade.

Dickson delivered when it mattered against the Wildcats, catching the game-tying touchdown with just six seconds left in regulation by opening his hips nicely and showing the hands and concentration to haul in a ball thrown behind him while absorbing a hit.

He also made a nice catch to begin Oregon's second possession in overtime, again opening his hips and adjusting to the ball before showing good hands and sideline awareness in getting to the 2-yard line to set up the game-winning touchdown.
