2009 SEASON REVIEW
BOISE, Idaho — Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount talked before the game about keeping emotions in check. Then he lost his own cool after No. 14 Boise State pushed around its big-conference neighbors. Kellen Moore threw for 197 yards and a touchdown and the biggest home game in Boise State history became a four-quarter bullying of the No. 16 Ducks, 19-8 on Thursday night, clearing the biggest apparent obstacle between them and a possible second BCS bowl. D.J. Harper added a 1-yard scoring run for Boise State, but the impressive effort by the Broncos was overshadowed in the postgame scrum when Blount momentary lost control.. “I just apologize to anyone watching that,” Blount said. “I just apologize to all of our fans and all of Boise’s fans. That’s something I shouldn’t have done. I lost my head.” Blount’s actions took away from a night that for 2 1/2 quarters, was a celebration of all things blue and orange before the nervous final stretch as a Ducks offense that was stuck in neutral most of the night finally gained some traction. But Boise State’s defense answered every Oregon charge and knocked off the Ducks for the second consecutive season after last year’s contentious matchup in Eugene. “Hats off to our defense tonight. They made a ton of plays,” Moore said. Nearly every available space inside Bronco Stadium was crammed with fans desperate to see this border-state battle, one that everyone expected to turn into a high-scoring shootout. If not for two missed field goals, a botched field-goal snap and three turnovers, it very well might have been a high-scoring rout for the Broncos. They outgained Oregon 361 to 152, rolling up 22 first downs to the Ducks’ six. The struggles of Kelly’s offense were stunning, considering Oregon scored a combined 162 points in its final three games of 2008 and brought quarterback Jeremiah Masoli back to run the show. The total yards were the fewest for Oregon in nearly 15 years. “Boise State really moved the ball, we let them have the ball pretty much the whole game, it seemed like,” Oregon defensive back Walter Thurmond III said. But Masoli’s passing was off and the Ducks could not get bruising Blount started. Blount carried only eight times and finished with minus-5 yards rushing, part of a miserable night for the Ducks. “We didn’t execute our gameplan. We didn’t play Oregon football,” Blount said. “Defense played tremendous. They gave us the ball a number of times and we didn’t do anything with it. I didn’t see this coming at all. Everything at practice was going well.” And Masoli’s main passing target, Ed Dickson, might as well have not been on the field. He wasn’t thrown to in the first half and finished with just two catches for 19 yards. His first grab, with 7:07 left in the third quarter, finally got the Ducks their first first down. Masoli finished 14 of 27 for 121 yards and an interception. “It’s frustrating whenever you don’t get a first down,” Kelly said. The Broncos had no problem marching. Moore hit 14 of 20 throws in the first half and finished 19 of 29. He was also given plenty of time in the pocket behind a young offensive line that for one night answered the biggest question about the Broncos in the offseason. Moore connected with Austin Pettis for a 10-yard touchdown midway through the second quarter and the two-point conversion put Boise State up 8-0. They later went up 10-0 when Blount was pulled down in the end zone by Billy Winn for a safety. The Broncos’ line also pushed Oregon’s defensive front and opened holes for Harper and Jeremy Avery. The pair combined for 162 yards rushing and Boise State finished with 164 yards rushing as a team. “They came out talking a little bit thinking they owed us something, and we just came out and played our game,” Harper said.

PURDUE OREGON

Eugene, Ore. (57,772) Autzen Stadium 83 degrees, partly cloudy EUGENE (AP) — Oregon can’t seem to get away from drama. A week after LeGarrette Blount’s punch and an uncharacteristic offensive meltdown against Boise State, the Ducks eked out a victory over Purdue. Trailing 38-30, the Boilermakers’ Keith Smith found Aaron Valentin with a 15yard touchdown pass with 1:01 left. But Kyle Adams was out of bounds when he caught Joey Elliott’s pass to tie it and Oregon (1-1) held on for the 38-36 victory. Purdue (1-1) had closed within one at 31-30 early in the fourth quarter on Ralph Bolden’s 22-yard touchdown reception, before Oregon’s Kenjon Barner then ran 21 yards for a score with 6:42 left. “It’s definitely a sense of relief,” Ducks quarterback Jeremiah Masoli said. “There were a lot of doubters, but we got it done.” “It’s been tough, but we’re focused. We kept our heads on straight,” running back Andre Crenshaw said. Against the Broncos, the Ducks had just 152 yards offense, their worst showing in nearly 15 years. Oregon didn’t have a first down until the third quarter. It was quite a departure for the Ducks, who had the second-ranked rushing offense in the country behind Navy in 2008 and were ranked among the top 10 in total offense and scoring offense. Oregon fared better in the home opener than the previous week, but it wasn’t without its challenges. The Ducks couldn’t capitalize on Casey Matthews’ interception on the Oregon 23 and had to settle for a 28-yard field goal from Morgan Flint to go up 3-0 early in the first quarter. The Boilermakers came back with a quick drive that ended with Jaycen Taylor’s 5-yard run to take the lead, but Oregon’s Crenshaw capped an equally quick drive with a 2-yard TD dash and the Ducks were ahead 10-7. Bolden, who rushed for 234 yards in Purdue’s season-opening victory over Toledo, had a 14-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter to put the Boilermakers back in front. Oregon went up 17-14 on Walter Thurmond’s 18-yard interception return before Purdue tied it up just before halftime on Carson Wiggs’ 23-yard field goal. Purdue took back the lead on Bolden’s 1-yard leap into the end zone early in the second half. But then a fumble was scooped up by Javes Lewis, who ran 28 yards for the score to tie it again for the Ducks. That appeared to spark the Ducks, and Masoli scored on a keeper from 15 yards out. Just as he scored, a rainstorm hit Autzen and the deciding fourth quarter was marked by periodic showers. Masoli completed 11 of 21 passes for 163 yards for Oregon. Elliott went 24 of 41 for 266 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions for Purdue. Bolden ran for 123 yards and caught three passes for 52 yards. Masoli led the Ducks’ rushers with 84 yards. “We executed, but they just stopped us there at the end,” Bolden said. “That’s what happens. It was a tough loss.” The Ducks defeated Purdue 32-26 in double overtime last year in West Lafayette. Blount rushed for 131 yards, including a 3-yard winning plunge. “We moved on from last week,” Kelly said after his first victory as Oregon’s head coach. “I’m just excited for our players because they put in the hard work.”

2009 SEASON REVIEW
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Kyle Whittingham wishes that Utah’s ride would have gone on forever. The Ducks were more than happy to bring it to a screeching halt. LaMichael James rushed for a career-high 152 yards and a touchdown, and Oregon overcame four turnovers and an abysmal performance by quarterback Jeremiah Masoli to beat the No. 18 Utes 31-24 and snap the nation’s longest winning streak. Utah (2-1) had won 16 straight games, including their stunning 31-17 upset of heavily favored Alabama in the Sugar Bowl last January. Their last loss was on Nov. 24, 2007, in the regular-season finale against BYU. “It’s been almost two calendar years since we’ve been in this situation,” Whittingham said. “Twenty-two months or whatever the time frame is. You know we all wish this could’ve gone on for infinity, but that wasn’t the case.” Masoli ran for two touchdowns, but had two fumbles and an interception in the second half that allowed Utah to rally from a 21-7 deficit to within 28-24 by the end of the third quarter. An interception by linebacker Eddie Pleasant set up a 31-yard field goal by Morgan Flint with 3:30 left in the game, giving the Ducks (2-1) a 31-24 lead. The Utes drove to the Oregon 37 with under two minutes to play, but John Boyett picked off a pass from Terrence Cain at the 5 to preserve the victory. Cain finished 20 of 41 for 178 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions. He also had 68 yards on the ground, but didn’t get much help from an offense that struggled to move the ball all game. Matt Asiata managed only 54 yards on 15 carries. “Our defense played unbelievable,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said. The offense, however, was a mixed bag. While Masoli struggled, James recorded his first 100-yard game and his first touchdown. The redshirt freshman, making his first start, led an Oregon ground attack that netted a season-best 217 yards. “It’s exciting when you do something good for the team,” he said. Oregon’s Walter Thurmond III returned a punt 78 yards following a three-andout on Utah’s opening drive to put the Ducks ahead 7-0 at raucous Autzen Stadium. It was Thurmond’s fifth career touchdown and second of the season, after the defensive back scored on an interception return last week against Purdue. Utah tied it at the 6:34 mark of the first quarter on a 19-yard run by Cain, the drive set up by a blocked punt on fourth-and-20 at the Ducks 24. Elijah Wesson, a reserve wide receiver, appeared to get a hand on Jackson Rice’s kick, then snatched the deflected ball out of the air. One play later, Cain scored his first rushing TD of the season. The Ducks went back ahead 14-7 with 57 seconds left in the first quarter on a 3-yard run by James, two plays after Masoli hit Jeff Maehl on a 58-yard completion. The lead swelled to 21-7 on a 22-yard run by Masoli with 4:39 left in the first half. The Utes had a chance to cut into the lead before the half, driving to the Oregon 2 with two seconds left. Instead of going for the short field-goal attempt, Wittingham opted to go for the touchdown and Cain’s fade pass to the corner of the end zone was batted away by Thurmond. Utah didn’t make the same mistake on its first drive of the second half, when Joe Phillips kicked a 22-yard field goal after the Utes’ drive stalled at the Oregon 5. The Ducks answered with 68-yard drive that ended with a 4-yard scoring run by Masoli to put Oregon up 28-10 with 8:34 left in the third quarter. A 22-yard pass from Cain to Jereme Brooks on a third-and-20 made it 28-17 with 4:03 left in the third quarter, and on the Ducks’ ensuing possession, Masoli was stripped of the ball and Robert Johnson scooped up the loose ball and ran 28 yards for the touchdown. That’s as close as the Utes would get.

Eugene, Ore. (58,975) Autzen Stadium 71 degrees, sunny EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- To Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, taking criticism is part of the job. So is disproving it. Masoli answered his naysayers by throwing for 253 yards and three touchdowns in Oregon’s 42-3 upset of sixth-ranked Califor-
nia on Saturday. He completed 21 of 25 passes for the Ducks (3-1), who had 524 yards in total offense and buried any resemblance to the Oregon team that fell so dramatically to Boise State in a nationally televised season opener. “There’s always critics -- and it always falls on the quarterback,” Masoli said. “You try not to think about it, because nobody on the outside really has anything to do with it.” Tailback Jahvid Best ran for just 55 yards for the Golden Bears (3-1), who had 206 yards in total offense -- less than half their average. Widely considered a top Heisman contender, Best went into the game ranked third in the nation with an average of 137.33 yards on the ground. It was Cal’s most lopsided loss under coach Jeff Tedford -- Oregon’s former offensive coordinator -- and worst since 55-14 to USC in 2001. Oregon tight end Ed Dickson had 11 catches for a career-best 148 yards. He caught all three of Masoli’s scoring passes. “On offense the sky’s the limit for us,” Masoli said with confidence. “We’re the only ones who can hurt us. These last couple of weeks we’ve been in a funk, but today we moved past that.” Cal scored on Vince D’Amato’s 47-yard field goal early after Oregon fumbled on its opening kickoff return. The Golden Bears would not score again. Oregon tied it with Morgan Flint’s 30-yard field goal. Masoli completed five passes on the scoring drive -- surpassing the four completions he had last weekend in Oregon’s 31-24 victory over then-No. 18 Utah. Despite the win, Masoli was widely criticized for his performance and some fans suggested the Ducks go with backup Nate Costa against Cal. Oregon firstyear coach Chip Kelly was steadfast in support of Masoli. His first touchdown pass of the season was a 26-yard strike to Dickson that opened the second quarter. Costa then tossed to Flint, who scampered into the end zone for the conversion to put the Ducks up 11-3. “He proved that he can play,” Dickson said of Masoli. “He proved that he can throw the ball.” After D’Amato missed a 43-yard attempt, Oregon pushed its lead to 18-3 on Remene Alston’s 1-yard TD dive. LaMichael James ran for a 4-yard touchdown just before halftime to make it 25-3. James was among a trio of backs to whom Oregon has looked for in LeGarrette Blount’s absence. He finished with 21 carries for 118 yards. In the third quarter, Dickson caught scoring passes of nine and 36 yards from Masoli as Oregon went up 39-3. Ironically, fans who called for Costa got their wish when Masoli left the game early in the fourth quarter. Flint added a 42-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Cal quarterback Kevin Riley, who went to high school in Beaverton, Ore., completed 12 of 31 passes for 123 yards. He was replaced in the fourth quarter by redshirt freshman backup Beau Sweeney. “He’s disappointed, obviously,” Tedford said about Best. “Everybody is, everybody’s disappointed when you don’t play well like that when we invest so much time and energy into what’s going on. It doesn’t feel good.” Last weekend Best tied a Pac-10 record with five rushing touchdowns to lead the Golden Bears to a 35-21 victory at Minnesota, for which he earned Pac-10 player of the week honors. But Oregon was able to shut him and the rest of Cal’s running game down. The Golden Bears had just 77 yards on the ground. “Everybody kept asking, `What are you going to do about Best?’ If he can’t get past the line of scrimmage, we have nothing to worry about. That was our mentality,” Oregon defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. “We were going to come in here and hit him with all we’ve got. We know we have the talent, the speed, the ability to stop anybody.”
Cal was averaging 488.7 yards in total offense going into the game to rank 11th nationally, and gaining 250.33 yards on the ground. Cal hosts USC next week. Oregon hosts Washington State to conclude a fourgame homestand. The Ducks were wearing throwback uniforms from the late 90s, featuring yellow helmets with an entwined UO.

2009 SEASON REVIEW
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- With the rout of Washington State well under way, there was no need for Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli to stick around once he tweaked his knee. Masoli threw for 116 yards and a touchdown and ran for another score before sitting out the second half of No. 16 Oregon’s 52-6 victory over the Cougars on Saturday night. After backup Nate Costa took over late in the second quarter, Masoli was seen icing his right knee. He caused further concern when he returned to the field after halftime wearing his warmups. He said afterward the injury was no big deal and that he was coming out of the game anyway because Oregon had built a 35-0 lead. “I think when I had contact with somebody, somebody else kind of jumped on my knee,” Masoli said. “I couldn’t really tell you. It’s sore right now and I’ll have the medical staff look at it tomorrow.” Ed Dickson had seven catches for 103 yards and a score for the Ducks (4-1, 2-0 Pacific-10) who won their fourth straight after a season-opening loss at Boise State. The Cougars (1-4, 0-3) were held to 158 yards of offense. Oregon had 514 yards. Freshman quarterback Jeff Tuel made his first start but completed just one of two passes in the first quarter before he was knocked out by a hard sack. He had a hip pointer and did not return. “It’s part of the game. I’m not too bad,” Tuel said. “Obviously it’s upsetting. It’s going to happen.” Dickson, who played only sparingly in the second half, was the Pac-10’s player of the week after pulling down three scoring passes last weekend in Oregon’s 42-3 upset victory over then-No. 6 California. The victory popped the Ducks into the AP Poll. LaMichael James got it started for the Ducks on Saturday night with a 26-yard touchdown run less than two minutes into the game. After Masoli found Dickson with a 26-yard scoring pass, James added a 3-yard TD run to make it 21-0. Tuel, who showed promise in relief last weekend in the Cougars’ 27-6 loss at USC, was shaky in his first start in front of Autzen’s notoriously loud crowd. He was sacked twice. The second, by Oregon’s Will Tukuafo, knocked Tuel out of the game. He was replaced by Marshall Lobbestael, who was limited by a sore left knee. Tuel was just the second true freshman to start for Washington State. The first was Drew Bledsoe against Oregon State in 1990. Cougars wide receiver Jared Karstetter also sat out the second half with a hip pointer. Masoli scored on a 1-yard keeper before Andre Crenshaw’s 6-yard touchdown dash. Costa scored on a 4-yard run just before halftime to make it 42-0. After Morgan Flint kicked a 40-yard field goal for the Ducks, Lobbestael’s 1-yard keeper for Washington State late in the third quarter made it 45-6. Remene Alston scored for Oregon on a 6-yard run to finish off the win. Lobbestael completed seven of 13 passes for 47 yards and the TD. He was intercepted twice. Costa completed seven of nine passes for 80 yards for the Ducks. James, who ran for 81 yards, hurt his left ankle but it was not considered serious. Dickson has 104 career catches, surpassing Josh Wilcox for most career receptions for an Oregon tight end. Wilcox (1993-96) had 103.

#13 OREGON UCLA
24 10
Pasadena, Calif. (77,819) Rose Bowl 75 degrees, hazy PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- When Oregon puts together the highlight reel of its remarkable turnaround from that seasonopening loss to Boise State, the Ducks probably could leave the first four minutes of this second half unedited. With one incredible play after another, the 13th-ranked Ducks turned a defense-dominated snoozer into another showcase for their ample talent and rising confidence in a 24-10 victory over UCLA on Saturday. With Oregon trailing 3-0 at halftime, Kenjon Barner returned the second-half kickoff for a 100-yard touchdown, and Talmadge Jackson returned an interception 32 yards for another score just 13 seconds later. After a fumble recovery, Jeff Maehl then took a short screen pass 20 yards through traffic for the Ducks’ third TD just 3:54 after halftime. In even less clock time than an Oregon track star would need to cover a mile, the Ducks (5-1, 3-0 Pac-10) were well on the way to their fifth straight win and the early inside lane on a return trip to the Rose Bowl on New Year’s Day. “That’s what our team does,” coach Chip Kelly said. “They feed off each other. When somebody makes a big play, the other guys feed off that. These guys have a great attitude, a great chemistry right now. It’s fun to be around them.” Oregon’s big plays on special teams and defense covered for an offense that was shut out in the first half, struggling without injured quarterback Jeremiah Masoli. Nate Costa passed for just 82 yards in his first career start, although his teammates praised his game management. The Ducks hadn’t scored in eight consecutive quarters in Pasadena before Barner, a freshman backup running back, took the second-half kickoff in his own end zone and burst through the wedge. He sprinted to Oregon’s first TD on a kickoff return since Jonathan Stewart did it Nov. 19, 2005. “It always feels good to get loose, score a touchdown for our team and help us get back on track,” Barner said. “I’m glad we were able to get back in it after a slow first half.” On the Bruins’ next snap, Jackson jumped Terrence Austin’s buttonhook route and ran unimpeded to the end zone for Oregon’s second score. Just two snaps after that, Kenny Rowe knocked the ball out of Prince’s hands on a scramble, and Oregon recovered. Maehl then caught a short third-down pass in traffic, but broke through UCLA’s tackles for his first score of the season. “The fire that everyone had in them just ignited,” Costa said. “We got on a roll and started saying, ‘We’re going to put these guys to sleep.” Kevin Prince was 13 of 25 for just 81 yards in his return from a two-game injury absence for the Bruins (3-2, 0-2), who have lost two straight while scoring just one offensive touchdown. Prince also lost a fumble and threw an interception before third-string freshman Richard Brehaut took over for parts of the fourth quarter, passing for 64 yards. “This was probably the worst game I’ve ever played in my life, but we’ve just got to keep moving forward,” Prince said. “I’m confident in myself, and I know I can get the job done. I just didn’t get it done today.” Akeem Ayers made an astonishing interception in Oregon’s end zone for the Bruins’ only touchdown late in the third quarter, leaping to snag Costa’s pass as the quarterback tumbled out of bounds, then tucking his own feet inbounds as he fell. “Next time I’ll pump-fake differently,” said Costa, who went 9 for 17. “That was just a flat-out great play.” LaMichael James rushed for 152 yards for the Ducks, who had scored 94 points in their previous two games. Oregon showed it doesn’t need much offense to stay on top of the Pac-10, even staying out of trouble late by running the ball on its final 19 plays. “We’ve just got to learn from it,” UCLA defensive tackle Brian Price said. “Things went downhill fast, but we had a positive mindset. Defensively, we remained relentless.” Masoli injured his right knee during Oregon’s blowout win over Washington State last week. Kelly was cagey about his starting choice while Masoli missed two days of practice this week, but the junior didn’t even suit up. “We took a look at him, and we weren’t going to put him in the pads,” Kelly
said. “We didn’t even want to be tempted.” That temptation would have been strong at halftime. Costa underwent three major knee surgeries before getting this chance because of Masoli’s own knee problems, but he went 6 for 12 while the Ducks’ offense controlled the ball for slightly more than 10 minutes. Oregon couldn’t get further than the UCLA 34, where Jerry Siewierski blocked Rob Beard’s 51-yard field goal attempt midway through the first quarter. The Bruins subsequently drove inside the Oregon 1, but the Ducks’ defense kept them in it, stopping Prince on a quarterback sneak on fourth down. The first half’s only points were scored by Kai Forbath, who nailed a 52-yard field goal -- his UCLA-record eighth of at least 50 yards -- when a 16-play drive stalled after starting at the Bruins 1.

intercepted by Javes Lewis. Masoli then led a crushing drive, aided by Costa’s 7-yard run off a faked field goal, and capped by the quarterback’s 1-yard run. Oregon scored on its first three drives of the second half and led 36-6. “That’s one of the aspects about our offense is that we come at you so fast you don’t even have time to think, call plays, know what you are doing,” Masoli said.

2009 SEASON REVIEW
SEATTLE (AP) -- Oregon again got the spark it needed from its special teams and defense with blocked punts, fake field goals and interceptions. The Ducks (No. 11 BCS, No. 12 AP) also got their offense rolling. Just in time for a Pac-10 showdown with Southern California on Halloween night in Eugene. Jeremiah Masoli returned from a knee injury to run for two scores, Oregon blocked a punt for a touchdown and used a fake field goal to set up another TD, and the Ducks overwhelmed border rival Washington 43-19 on Saturday. “This is a true team. It’s not an offense, it’s not a defense, it’s not just one aspect of it,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said. “It’s everyone contributing ... that punt you saw us start to gain some confidence and we started flying around and when we start flying it kind of gets into a frenzy mode and it’s a neat thing to be around.” Oregon’s corralled Washington quarterback Jake Locker, forced three turnovers and kept the Huskies out of the end zone until the fourth quarter. Oregon’s special teams came up with momentum-shifting plays on Rory Cavaille’s blocked punt for a touchdown and Nate Costa’s fake field goal for a first down that led to another Oregon score. And most important, Masoli got Oregon’s offense zooming in the second half after it needed a kickoff return and interception return for touchdowns two weeks ago against UCLA when Masoli was out with an injured right knee. “It did take a couple of series to get my feet under me. You can tell the difference when you haven’t played and you have a bye week,” Masoli said. “We were a little rusty but great teams respond.” Oregon extended its dominance of Washington to six straight -- longest in the history of the series -- and like the previous five this one wasn’t close. All six wins have been by more than 20 points. Masoli kept Washington’s defense guessing all day. Run, pass or pitch -- they all worked. And the frantic speed of Oregon’s offense exposed Washington’s lack of defensive depth. Masoli completed 14 of 22 throws for 157 yards and a touchdown. He also added TD runs of 1 and 3 yards as part of his 54 yards rushing. LaMichael James, Oregon’s workhorse since LeGarrette Blount’s suspension, rushed for 154 yards and a pair of touchdowns, including a 56-yard TD sprint in the fourth quarter to cap this Oregon party. “Sometimes I thought I had the ball and then I’d see [Masoli] around the other side. That’s the big thing, misdirection is key,” James said. While Oregon’s offense found its rhythm, Locker and the Huskies could never solve Oregon’s mix of blitzes and pressures. Locker was sacked four times and completed 23 of 44 for 266 and two interceptions. Chris Polk had 104 yards rushing for Washington. “We really had some opportunities, especially early in the ball game and then coming out of halftime to change the complexion of the game, maybe get the game going in our favor more and we weren’t able to capitalize,” Washington coach Steve Sarkisian said. Coming off a crushing 24-17 loss at Arizona State last Saturday, Washington (3-5, 2-3) didn’t show much resiliency. The Huskies’ crippling mistakes didn’t help, and the first was the most damaging. Washington led 3-0 early in the second quarter and lined up to punt. The Ducks overloaded the right side of the line, allowing Cavaille to come free and block Will Mahan’s punt. The ensuing scrum dribbled the ball into the end zone where Tyrell Irvin recovered for the touchdown. While Washington’s defense was getting set for the extra point, Costa ran in for the 2-point conversion and a 8-3 lead. “I thought the gap was closed so I kind of just turned my shoulder and it opened right up and saw the ball right there and put my hand out and good things happened,” Cavaille said. Washington tried to answer and quickly drove to the Oregon 4, but on fourthand-goal at the 2 Locker rolled out but couldn’t find anyone and his toss was

Eugene, Ore. (59,592) Autzen Stadium 58 degrees, mostly cloudy EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- As the T-shirts worn in Oregon’s student section proclaimed, it was Fright Night at Autzen Stadium. It certainly was for USC. Jeremiah Masoli threw for 222 yards and a touchdown and ran for 164 more yards with another score and the 10th-ranked Ducks trampled Southern California (No. 5 BCS, No. 4 AP) 47-20 Saturday night, the Trojans’ worst loss since 1997. “I don’t know if we made a statement, this is just what we planned on doing,” Masoli said. “If it makes a statement it makes a statement. That’s just Oregon football and how we roll.” Redshirt freshman LaMichael James ran for 183 yards and a score as the Ducks (7-1, 5-0 Pac-10) racked up 391 yards on the ground against the Trojans, who came into the game with the fifth-best rush defense in the nation (79.9 yards a game). USC’s defense yielded a total of 613 yards to Oregon. “It was a real mess for us tonight,” said Pete Carroll, who was handed his worst loss as coach of the Trojans. “Oregon did everything that they wanted to do.” Southern California (6-2, 3-2) had not lost a game by more than a touchdown since a 27-16 loss to Notre Dame in 2001, Carroll’s first season with USC. The last time the Trojans were so soundly beaten was 1997, when they lost 35-7 to Arizona State and 27-0 to Washington. Oregon remained alone in first and undefeated in the Pac-10. USC has won or shared the last seven Pac-10 titles. That streak is in serious jeopardy. The Trojans’ run of seven straight BCS games is also in danger. The Ducks are now poised to take the crown after stomping the longtime Kings of the West Coast. Oregon fans were decked out in special black “Fright Night” T-shirts with a duck-and-crossbones motif to commemorate the Halloween night game -billed as the Pac-10’s biggest game of the season. Afterward the fans swarmed the field, while a ring of blue-jacketed security guards circled the goal posts. The Ducks have won seven straight games since an embarrassing 19-8 loss at Boise State in the opener, a game that got uglier when running back LeGarrette Blount punched a Broncos defensive end as he was leaving the field. USC freshman quarterback Matt Barkley, who earlier this week predicted he would feed off Autzen’s deafening noise, completed 21 of 38 passes for 187 yards and two scores. He was intercepted once. Barkley shrugged after the loss. “The biggest thing is realizing that there’s nothing we can do about this loss,” he said. Masoli completed 19 of 31 for Oregon, which had never before scored as many points against the Trojans. “I was as relaxed as I’ve ever been in my career,” Masoli said. “Even me and LaMike break a couple jokes every so often. It feels great.” USC went up 3-0 on the its first series of the game on Jordan Congdon’s 28yard field goal. Oregon answered with Morgan Flint’s 32-yarder, but the Ducks had squandered their opportunity after Kenjon Barner’s 77-yard kickoff return. Masoli scored on a 3-yard run to put the Ducks up 10-3 late in the first quarter. USC tied it with Barkley’s 3-yard pass to Ronald Johnson early in the second. Oregon went ahead again on Andre Crenshaw’s 1-yard scoring run. And USC tied it again at 17 on Barkley’s 4-yard pass to Damian Williams. Masoli found Jamere Holland with a 17-yard touchdown pass to put the Ducks back up 24-17 at the half. From that point, USC couldn’t keep up. After Oregon extended the lead with Flint’s 35-yard field goal, USC narrowed it with Congdon’s 39-yarder. James scored on a 5-yard run and fellow redshirt freshman Kenjon Barner ran for a 3-yard touchdown to make it 41-20 at the close of the third quarter. Flint had a pair of field goals from 22 and 23 yards out to pad Oregon’s lead in the fourth quarter.
“It just an overloaded ballgame by them. Masoli was ridiculously effective,” Carroll said. “We really had our chances to make things happen but we couldn’t tackle them in the backfield. The runs that he popped whether scrambles or by design just broke our back. It was a very, obviously, difficult night.” The Trojans have lost four straight in the state of Oregon. “It was intense,” Oregon cornerback Talmadge Jackson said. “Halloween, USC, crazy night game, it was everything everyone expected it would be.” USC Oregon

Luck added the TD pass to Dray and then threw a 39-yarder to Ryan Whalen that set up Marecic’s 2-yard run that gave the Cardinal a 31-14 lead. Marecic had a busy day, starting at fullback as usual and at middle linebacker in place of the injured Clinton Snyder. Marecic was out of position on Oregon’s first touchdown as James burst up the middle untouched for a 60-yard score and did not play on defense after the first quarter. The Ducks got their other first-half score on a 29-yard pass from Masoli to Jeff Maehl one play after Gerhart lost a fumble. Oregon Stanford

2009 SEASON REVIEW
STANFORD, Calif. (AP) -- Toby Gerhart and Stanford did to the Oregon defense what the Ducks did a week ago to Southern California, opening up the Pac-10 race with a program-defining victory. Gerhart ran for a school-record 223 yards and three scores, Andrew Luck threw for two touchdowns and Stanford held on to beat Oregon (No. 8 BCS, No. 7 AP) 51-42 Saturday to become bowl eligible for the first time in eight years. “This was definitely my biggest win since I’ve been here at Stanford,” Gerhart said, ranking it ahead of the victory over No. 2 USC two years ago. “I think it’s definitely bigger than the USC win because it gets us to that bowl game. All our seniors, the goal coming in was to be a bowl team. This was by far the biggest win. The students storming the field, that was an awesome feeling.” Stanford had lost in its past five games with a chance to become eligible for a bowl and now are in position to play a postseason game for the first time since Tyrone Willingham’s final year in 2001 after snapping a seven-game losing streak to the Ducks. The loss by Oregon (7-2, 5-1 Pac-10) just a week after gaining 613 yards in a 47-20 win over USC cost the Ducks any shot at a berth in the Bowl Championship Series title game and took away any margin for error if they want to win the conference outright. Oregon rallied with two late touchdowns to cut a 20-point lead down to six, but Stanford (6-3, 5-2) recovered an onside kick with 2:38 to go and tacked on Nate Whitaker’s third field goal with 11 seconds left to seal the win. “We got beat by a better team,” coach Chip Kelly said. “If you say we got caught looking behind or looking ahead, it takes away from Stanford. Stanford is a heck of a football team.” Luck took advantage of vast open areas in the middle of the Oregon defense, completing four passes of at least 20 yards in the first half alone. Even when the Ducks had good coverage, Luck managed to connect with his receivers downfield. He finished 12 for 20 for 251 yards, throwing an 8-yard touchdown pass to Jim Dray in the second quarter and a 31-yarder to Chris Owusu after Oregon cut the Cardinal lead to 10 points early in the third quarter. “Just an unbelievable performance by Andrew,” Harbaugh said. “I don’t know how you can play better. How can you play better as a quarterback? What can you say he should have done better? Who could have done better?” The Ducks got the lead back to 10 on a 3-yard keeper by Jeremiah Masoli, before Gerhart carried Oregon defenders into the end zone on a 17-yard run that made it 45-28 late in the third quarter. Gerhart had 38 carries, punishing Oregon defenders on each run. He broke the previous record of 220 set by Jon Volpe in 1988 and broke his single-season rushing record set last year with 1,217. “As usual he was just unbelievable,” fullback Owen Marecic said. “It’s great blocking for him. I have to get a hat on somebody and he’ll do the rest. His performance speaks for itself. He carried the team today. He was just awesome.” On a day when the teams combined for 93 points and more than 1,000 yards, Stanford did deliver one big defensive play to end the third quarter. With Oregon trailing by 17, Kelly decided to go for it on fourth-and-3 from the Stanford 40. Michael Thomas, who played the role of Masoli in practice, blitzed from his cornerback position and took down the real version Masoli for no gain. The Cardinal tacked on a field goal to take a 48-28 lead. “We had a lot of ups and downs no question about it. It’s frustrating. We don’t get 1 yard and that’s it,” Masoli said. “We were watching their offense move the ball and score and it’s instinctive that we wanted to score every time.” Masoli was 21 for 37 for 334 yards and three touchdowns. He added 55 yards and a score on the ground. LaMichael James added 125 yards rushing, including a 60-yard score in the first quarter. The Cardinal got off to a fast start when Owusu returned the opening kickoff 77 yards to set up a field goal. Stanford’s offense didn’t slow down. A 25yard pass from Luck to Owusu set up Gerhart’s first touchdown run and Gerhart scored again on the next possession to make it 17-7. Owusu had four catches for 111 yards and two long kickoff returns.

Eugene, Ore. (58,475) Autzen Stadium 39 degrees, mostly cloudy EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- LeGarrette Blount waited for his chance. It never came. Blount suited up and was ready to play for the first time since his suspension for punching an opponent was lifted -- but only watched as Oregon (No. 13 ESPN/USA Today, No. 14 AP) defeated Arizona State 44-21 on Saturday night. Instead LaMichael James, who took over at running back while Blount missed eight games, ran for 150 yards and three touchdowns. “He wants to get out there so bad,” Oregon receiver Ed Dickson said about Blount. “Being one of my best friends, I felt for him.” The Ducks (8-2, 6-1 Pacific-10) sit alone atop the conference standings as the only team with just one conference loss. Oregon fell 51-42 last weekend to Stanford. Arizona State (4-6, 2-5) started true freshman quarterback Brock Osweiler, who left the game after being hit hard in the first half. Sophomore Samson Szakacsy replaced him and completed 13 of 22 passes for 113 yards and a touchdown. “Brock could have come back,” Arizona State coach Dennis Erickson said. “It was a coach’s decision to keep him out partially because of how Samson was playing.” The Sun Devils’ run defense, the best in the Pac-10 going into the game, allowed the Ducks to gain 268 yards on the ground. Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli completed 10 of 20 passes for 120 yards and two touchdowns. He was intercepted once. Blount, who ran for 1,002 yards last season, was listed at the bottom of the Ducks’ depth chart. Oregon coach Chip Kelly said there was no thought of bringing him in. “No. We didn’t get to our fifth running back. Andre (Crenshaw) had one or two carries, Remene (Alston) got in for one or two carries. Couldn’t get the ball back,” he said. Blount watched as his replacement ran for touchdowns of 4 and 2 yards in the first quarter against the Sun Devils. After Morgan Flint’s 27-yard field goal in the second quarter, James added a 4-yard scoring run. Masoli found Ed Dickson with a 9-yard touchdown pass to give Oregon a 31-7 lead at halftime. James, who was averaging 115.9 yards going into the game as the Pac-10’s third best rusher, ran for 119 yards in the first half alone. “LaMichael had a great game and showed again why he’s one of the best in the nation. We’re going to ride him as long as we can,” Kelly said. Arizona State’s James Brooks intercepted Masoli, which led to Dimitri Nance’s 2-yard scoring run for the Sun Devils’ lone touchdown of the first half. The 6-foot-8 Osweiler replaced Danny Sullivan last weekend in the second half of Arizona State’s 14-9 loss to USC. He was the first true freshman to start for the Sun Devils since Jake Plummer in 1993. But the Sun Devils got a scare in the second quarter when Osweiler was hit in the shoulder by Oregon linebacker Eddie Pleasant. While he was looked to by trainers on the Arizona State bench, he was replaced by Szakacsy. Osweiler completed 5 of 10 passes for 14 yards before he left. Szakacsy started the second half, although Osweiler stayed in uniform on the sideline, and he led the Sun Devils on a drive that ended with his own 1-yard scoring run to make it 31-14. Szakacsy found Kyle Williams with a 15-yard scoring pass later in the third quarter to narrow it, but Oregon answered with Masoli’s 21-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Maehl. “I thought we were making a comeback,” Szakacsy said. “We cut it to 10 and stalled on some drives. We could have played a lot better. We kept fighting and scrapping. We didn’t just put our heads down.” Flint added 43 and 41-yard field goals in the fourth quarter. By that time, Oregon had pulled James. The crowd chanted “We want Blount!” several times. Going into the game, the Sun Devils’ run defense was ranked sixth in the nation, allowing an average of 87.44 yards rushing. But Oregon couldn’t be stopped, Erickson said. “This offensive team is as good as any I’ve seen in college football,” he said.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON DUCKS
Game #11 • Nov. 21 #11 OREGON ARIZONA
44 41
Tucson, Ariz. (57,863) Arizona Stadium 69 degrees, clear
ried about it.” The Ducks’ gifted quarterback ruined the celebration in Arizona Stadium and started another one in Eugene. Masoli tied it with a touchdown pass to Ed Dickson with six seconds left, then won it with a 1-yard run in the second overtime as No. 11 Oregon defeated Arizona 44-41 on Saturday night and took a big step toward the Pac-10 title. The Ducks (9-2, 7-1 Pac-10) will earn a Pac-10 title and Rose Bowl berth with a victory over No. 20 Oregon State in a winner-take-all Civil War on Dec. 3 in Eugene. Masoli threw for three scores and ran for three more as the Ducks rallied from a 24-14 deficit early in the fourth quarter. “Our guys didn’t flinch,” Oregon coach Chip Kelly said. Nick Foles threw four TD passes for Arizona (6-4, 4-3), which was eliminated from Rose Bowl contention. “That was a real tough loss, especially for the kids,” said Arizona coach Mike Stoops, whose team lost for the first time at home. “We did really well tonight with getting Oregon out of their comfort zone. They’ve got a very good quarterback, and that is definitely what makes the difference.” Facing relentless pressure from the Wildcats, Masoli struggled at times, fumbling twice and throwing an interception that led to Arizona’s first score. But Masoli was there when the Ducks needed him most. He was unstoppable late in the game, then took over in overtime. After Masoli hit Jeff Maehl for a 4-yard score on Oregon’s first overtime possession, Foles hit Juron Criner with a 3-yard strike to tie it at 38-38. In the second OT, Oregon forced Arizona to settle for a 41-yard field goal by Alex Zendejas. A touchdown would win it for Oregon, and Masoli quickly produced it. He hit Dickson for 22 yards, and three plays later Masoli bulled over from a yard out. “I was just resolved,” Masoli said. “I’m just really happy with the result and really proud of our guys. They just played their hearts out the whole time.” Minutes early, Oregon tied it at 31-31 when Masoli hit Dickson in the back of the end zone for an 8-yard score. That stunning strike came after another minor miracle for the Ducks. Oregon had tied it at 24-24 midway through the final quarter on a 43-yard field goal by Morgan Flint -- a line-drive kick that hit the crossbar and bounced through the uprights. Arizona took a 31-24 lead midway through the fourth quarter on a 71-yard screen pass from Foles to Criner, who outraced the defense to the end zone, fighting off two defenders over the final 10 yards. Arizona appeared ready to run the clock out on its next possession. But Oregon’s Talmadge Jackson III picked off a pass in the end zone, giving the Ducks one last shot. “That changed the whole perspective of the game,” Oregon cornerback Cliff Harris said. The Ducks took over at their own 20 with 3:11 to play. As students began to mass on the sidelines, Masoli guided the Ducks downfield in 15 plays and 3:05, scoring with six ticks to spare. Masoli completed 7 of 11 passes for 54 yards on the drive and also ran for 13 yards. “It [upsets] you for the most part because you let opportunities like that slip away,” Arizona free safety Cam Nelson. “It’s hard to know you could have won a game, or you were supposed to win a game, and then you end up losing.” On a 70-degree night in the desert, Wildcats faithful packed Arizona Stadium for one of the bigger games in school history. But this was a matchup few had circled in September.

2009 SEASON REVIEW
TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Oregon quarterback Jeremiah Masoli watched as redclad Arizona students ringed the sidelines as time ticked down, ready to rush the field. “I saw it and I actually smirked,” Masoli said. “It was kind of funny. I wasn’t really wor-
The Wildcats were picked to finish eighth in a preseason poll of reporters regularly assigned to the conference. Oregon, meanwhile, seemed adrift after opening with a 19-8 defeat at Boise State. Oregon had scored at least 40 points in six of seven Pac-10 games, including its last four, and the Ducks looked unstoppable on the game’s opening possession. They marched 74 yards in nine plays, with Masoli snaking 14 yards up the middle to give Oregon a 7-0 lead. Masoli made it 14-0 with a 9-yard strike to Maehl early in the second quarter. But the Wildcats cut the deficit in half on a Foles’ first TD pass, a 5-yarder to Criner, who caught three touchdown passes. Arizona scored 24 straight points before the Ducks awoke and rallied. “We just have perseverance,” Masoli said. “That’s one of the characteristics of this team. Everybody on our team believed to the end.”

Eugene, Ore. (59,597) Autzen Stadium 35 degrees, partly cloudy EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Oregon’s thorny start has come up roses. Redshirt freshman LaMichael James ran for 166 yards and three touchdowns Thursday night to send No. 7 Oregon to the Rose Bowl with a 37-33 victory over Oregon State (No. 16 BCS, No. 13 AP) in the Civil War. Oregon (10-2, 8-1) claimed the Pac-10 championship with the victory, ending USC’s seven-season hold on the conference title. The Ducks, who have not been to the Rose Bowl since 1995, will face Ohio State in Pasadena on New Year’s Day. LeGarrette Blount, who hadn’t played since throwing a punch after Oregon’s season-opening loss to Boise State, returned to the field and scored on a 12-yard run in the third quarter. Afterward, fans thrust red roses into his hands. “This means everything to me,” he said. “I’m kind of at a loss for words.” The victory capped a stunning turnabout from the Ducks’ 19-8 crash on the blue turf in Boise. Oregon had just one other stumble this season -- a 51-42 loss at Stanford -- en route to the school’s fifth Rose Bowl appearance. “I think our team was always capable of this greatness,” said quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who threw for 201 yards and a score. Oregon State (8-4, 6-3) was vying for its first Rose Bowl berth since the 1964 season. It was the first time the annual rivalry was a winner-takes-all path to Pasadena. After the game the Duck mascot clutched a bouquet of roses as he was lifted above the fans who rushed the field at Autzen Stadium. Players donned green T-shirts emblazoned with a yellow “O” and the Rose Bowl logo. Sean Canfield threw for 306 yards and two touchdowns for the Beavers. Jacquizz Rodgers, the Pac-10’s second-leading rusher behind Stanford’s Toby Gerhart with an average of 119.4 yards a game, rushed for just 64 yards and a score. Oregon State had a chance to take the lead late in the fourth but Canfield threw an incomplete pass on fourth-and-15 from the Oregon 28. “We were all confident with the call,” Canfield said. “It was a great call. We have a lot of playmakers on offense and I thought it was the right decision. We just couldn’t get it done.” Masoli took over with more than 6 minutes left and ran out the clock with an impressive drive that featured two fourth-down conversions. He absorbed a hit during a 6-yard scramble on fourth-and-3 and pitched it to Kenjon Barner to set up a 4-yard run on fourth-and-2 that allowed the Ducks to finish it off. It was a disappointing end for Oregon State, which hung tough for much of the night behind Canfield, Rodgers and his older brother, James. “It’s never easy to come, fight hard, you put yourself in the position you’ve worked for all season and you let it slip through your fingers,” linebacker Keith Pankey said. “It hurts” Justin Kahut kicked three field goals in the first half, Jacquizz Rodgers had a 1-yard run for his school-record 20th rushing TD this season and James Rodgers had a 28-yard touchdown reception with 14 seconds left in the half to give the Beavers a 23-21 lead. Masoli hit Jeff Maehl for a 73-yard touchdown pass late in the first quarter. Maehl has caught a scoring pass in the past three Civil Wars. Canfield’s 9-yard TD pass to Casey Kjos made it 30-21 early in the third before Blount sparked Oregon’s comeback. He had a 12-yard score to pull the Ducks within two points and finished with 51 yards rushing. Blount ran for 1,002 yards last season. After his suspension, James stepped into his place, rushing for a Pac-10 freshman record 1,476 yards this season. Thursday night’s game was his seventh straight with more than 100 yards. “He’s an awesome kid,” Kelly said of James. “He’s just got that second gear.” Kahut’s fourth field goal made it 33-28, but James had a 52-yard scoring run late in the third. Oregon’s 2-point conversion failed, and Morgan Flint kicked a 34-yard field goal with 10:13 left for the final margin. “You have to have a short memory in this game,” Masoli said. “You can’t let a start get to you.”
Last season Oregon State was headed to the Rose Bowl with a victory in the Civil War. But the Ducks came to Reser Stadium and romped to a 65-38 victory. The year before, the Beavers visited Autzen and won 38-31 in the second overtime. “It’s tough to swallow,” Canfield said of missing out on a trip to Pasadena for the second straight season. “I said earlier it was such a great football environment, everything I thought it would be. I’m just disappointed.” Oregon State Oregon

ting the Buckeyes up 16-10. Barner’s big kickoff return to open the second half set up a 38-yard scoring drive finished by Masoli’s keeper. Ohio State went back ahead with its fourth field goal before Blount and Pryor traded turnovers. The crowd appeared to be an even split between scarlet-clad Buckeyes faithful and yellow-and-green Oregon fans who reveled in the postcard-perfect weather in Arroyo Seco well before kickoff. When dusk fell early in the fourth quarter, the nearby mountains lit up with a surreal red-orange glow, setting off hundreds of camera flashes in the crowd. Ohio State Oregon

2009 SEASON REVIEW
PASADENA, Calif. (AP) -- Ohio State’s bowl woes are over, thanks to a sturdy defense and a quarterback who finally played up to his enormous potential. Terrelle Pryor passed for a season-high 266 yards and two touchdowns, rushed for 72 more and threw a 17-yard scoring pass to DeVier Posey with 7:02 to play, ending the No. 8 Buckeyes’ three-game BCS skid with a 26-17 victory over No. 7 Oregon in the Rose Bowl on Friday. Posey had eight catches for 101 yards, and Brandon Saine caught an early TD pass for the Buckeyes (11-2), who put together a remarkably fluid offensive performance in their first trip to Pasadena since 1997. That offense relied on Pryor, the sophomore quarterback who has had a hard time matching his enormous hype. With a Rose Bowl effort that evoked memories of Vince Young’s breakout performance in the same stadium four years ago, Pryor shook off his early mistakes and led the Buckeyes confidently through a tense fourth quarter. ``I just wanted to lead the team as best I can,’’ Pryor said. ``The defense helped out a lot.’’ Indeed, Ohio State’s defense did much of the work, largely reducing the Ducks’ high-flying, no-huddle offense to ineffectiveness. Jeremiah Masoli passed for just 81 yards, while LaMichael James rushed for 70 - but a series of big plays and kick returns by Kenjon Barner kept the 96th Rose Bowl close until Pryor took control of the final minutes. ``We have an up-tempo defense and they run, they hit and they prepare,’’ coach Jim Tressel said. ``Terrelle did a heck of a job.’’ Oregon (10-3) made a remarkable comeback from its season-opening loss to Boise State to win its first Pac-10 title since 2001, but the Ducks haven’t won the Rose Bowl since the game’s third edition in 1917, back when the Granddaddy of Them All was a toddler. Masoli’s 1-yard TD run put Oregon up 17-16 early in the third quarter, but the Ducks’ powerful offense never scored again. Oregon ran for 179 yards, the second-most allowed by Ohio State this season, but the Ducks were one-dimensional. Oregon, in its first Rose Bowl since 1995, had scored at least 37 points in its previous six games. Pryor’s career at Ohio State has been about his inadequacies as much as his strengths, and he has been hammered by critics in the Big Ten and elsewhere for numerous flaws in his game. Yet with Ohio State nursing a two-point lead in the fourth quarter, he took charge during a 13-play, 81-yard drive eating up more than six minutes - part of the Buckeyes’ 41:37 total time-of-possession advantage. Pryor converted a third-and-13 play near midfield with about nine minutes to play on a remarkable 26-yard catch by tight end Jake Ballard, who leaped high to snatch it. After another third-down conversion, Posey made an impressive TD catch, turning both directions and snagging Pryor’s pass away from his body before tumbling over the goal line. After Oregon’s Morgan Flint missed a 44-yard field goal, Pryor drove the Buckeyes one more time, finishing with emphasis by gaining a first down with a 12yard run right after Oregon called its final timeout. ``We knew everything they were going to do, with their blitzes,’’ Pryor said. ``I just wanted to come out and show I can be a complete quarterback.’’ LeGarrette Blount scored an early touchdown for the Ducks, but the oncesuspended tailback also fumbled out of the end zone in the third quarter, ending a potential scoring drive. Blount made an impressive 3-yard scoring run on his first play in the second quarter, clambering over three defenders and knocking off Buckeyes captain Doug Worthington’s helmet before stretching the ball over the goal line. The cheers Blount received on the way on and off the field highlighted a tumultuous season for the bruising tailback, who was suspended for eight games after punching a Boise State player in frustration after the Ducks’ season-opening loss. Ohio State marched 19 plays for a short field goal 1:05 before halftime, and Ross Homan’s 20-yard interception return moments later put the Buckeyes in position for long-injured kicker Aaron Pettrey’s 45-yard field goal at the gun, put-

2010-11 COLLEGE FOOTBALL BOWL SCHEDULE The Pacific-10 Conference has agreements with six bowl partners. The lineup is led by the Rose Bowl Game, which is the destination for the Pac-10 champion, unless said champion is ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the final Bowl Championship Series rankings. If that were the case, the Pac-10 champion would play in the BCS National Championship Game in Glendale, Ariz. Regardless of the disposition of the Pac-10 champion, a second Pac-10 team may be selected for an at-large berth in the Bowl Championship Series in any given year and other Pac-10 bowl partner arrangements provide for that occurrence. In addition to the Rose Bowl, Pac-10 bowl partners include the Valero Alamo Bowl, Bridgepoint Education Holiday Bowl, Sun Bowl, Maaco Las Vegas Bowl and Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl.

2009 SEASON REVIEW
ROSE BOWL SELECTION If a Conference team is ranked No. 1 or No. 2 in the Bowl Championship Series (BCS) ranking system it shall participate in the National Championship Game designated by the BCS. If that is not the case, the following procedures will determine the Pac-10 Rose Bowl Representative. The Pac-10 Rose Bowl representative shall be conference team with the best won-lost percentage record in conference games. If, however, the records in conference games of two or more members are identical, determination of the Rose Bowl representative shall be as follows: A. Two-Team Tie The winner of the game between the two teams shall be the representative. B. Multiple-Team Ties (1) When three or more teams are tied in Conference play, if one has defeated all others, it shall be the Rose Bowl representative. If that is not the case, a comparison of the tied teams’ records against the other tied teams shall be made and the team having the best record against the other tied teams shall be the Rose Bowl representative. If two or more teams are still tied after this comparison, the appropriate two-team or multiple-team tie-breaking procedures shall be repeated among those teams still under consideration. (2) If more than two teams are still tied after the process above is completed, each remaining tied team’s record against the team occupying the highest position in the final regular season standings shall be compared, with the procedure continuing down through the standings until one team gains an advantage. When arriving at another group of tied teams while comparing records, each team’s collective record against the tied teams as a group shall be used. If at any point in the process the multiple-team tie is reduced to two teams, the two-team tie-breaking procedure shall be applied. If more than two teams are still tied after comparing their records all the way through the Conference standings, the team among the tied teams with the highest ranking in the final BCS standings shall be the Rose Bowl representative. If a tie remains, the teams most recently earning Rose Bowl or Bowl Championship Series automatic selection shall be eliminated.
