He had no timeouts left. The penalty would've made it 2nd and 15 with 1:40ish left on the clock so Oregon could run at least 1:20+ of the clock off by just running the ball. By declining it, there was still 1:40 left, but Oregon could only run 40 seconds off after their 3rd down play.
Essentially he traded 10 yards for 40 seconds of clock.
