The investigation centers around a poured onto the field after Oregon's victory Saturday sent the Ducks to the BCS National Championship game.
After the crowd cleared, a small section of turf was discovered to have been burned by an unknown material, state police said, and damage estimates are at least $1,500. According to the Tribune, the photograph of the object on fire was one of 75 digital pictures featured in a postgame slideshow on the newspaper's sports website. State police saw the photo and distributed it to news agencies Tuesday afternoon. (The Tribune claims it did not provide the photo to authorities.)
