Well Oregon actually outplayed us on the back nine, but the massive front nine leads were too much to overcome. At the turn I thought we were going to run them off the course.

No comment about turtling?   The Stanford players with big leads were playing quite conservatively, playing for ties.
I would say Oregon scored better than Stanford on the back nine, not outplayed.  The aim for the team is to win, not win big.

The announcers talked a lot how Oregon was letting Stanford win the early holes with pars.  Not much pressure on us in the front nine.  And Seay and Krauter made just about every putt that mattered.
