crowns the last three seasons,Oregon became the second team towin three straight outright Pac-12championships since the conferenceexpanded to 10 teams in 1978, join-ing USC from 2003-05 (’04 and ’05titles since vacated). Last year, theDucks became the first Pac-12squad to win nine league games.

USC end Oregon’s 21-game homewinning streak and 16-game Pac-12

After a Pac-10 Conferencechampionship as a first-year head coach and a trip
to the Rose Bowl in 2009, whatcould Oregon football fans expectfor an encore?An unbeaten regular season, a sec-
ond consecutive league title, a datein the BCS National ChampionshipGame and near-unanimous nationalcoach-of-the-year honors ended upbeing the answer. In just two fullseasons at the helm, Chip Kelly hastaken a program accustomed tomaking gradual steps up the laddertoward conference supremacy andhas elevated it into one that appearsready for hyperspace.As a rookie mentor, the Ducks’
head man became the first coach inPac-10 history to win an outright
conference title in his first year,leading the Ducks to the Rose BowlGame for the first time since 1995.Now a two-time Pac-10 coach ofthe year, Kelly also became theleague’s first national coach of theyear recipient in seven seasons in2010, winning not one, but fiveawards: AFCA, AP, EddieRobinson, Sporting News andWalter Camp.Kelly oversaw the team’s first 12-
win season in 2010 and led theDucks to a school-record 12-gamewinning streak.

ter to post its first of 13 straightwins en route to a berth in the BCSNational Championship Game. LaMichael James became
Oregon’s career rushing leader,but Michael Ford ran for twotouchdowns and Jarrett Leeadmirably directed LSU’s offensein place of suspended quarterbackJordan Jefferson in the fourth-ranked Tigers’ season-opening 40-27 victory over No. 3 Oregon. Ford and Spencer Ware had
touchdown runs in a span of 3:20late in the third quarter after Oregonfreshman De’Anthony Thomasfumbled on consecutive touches asfour turnovers became too much forthe Ducks to overcome. LSU took a 16-13 lead it would
never relinquish just before half-time on Rueben Randle’s 10-yardTD catch from Lee. Randle caught the ball in the front
corner of the end zone over fresh-man cornerback Terrance Mitchell. The other LSU touchdown
before halftime came when puntreturner Kenjon Barner fielded apunt inside the 5 and took a couple
of steps backwards before TyrannMathieu stripped the ball away,scooped it up after it bounced onthe turf and took a couple of stepsinto the end zone. The Tigers posted their 34th
consecutive nonconference win,the longest such streak in thenation, including all 23 in the reg-ular season under seventh-yearcoach Les Miles.

game winning streak, which datedback to last season when the WolfPack went 13-1 and finished lastseason ranked No. 11. Darron Thomas completed 13-of-
19 passes for 295 yards to set aschool record for most scoring passesin one half with five in the opening30 minutes of play. His six TD tosses matched the sin-

Oregon’s LaMichael Jamesripped off the longest runin the 45-year history of
Autzen Stadium and the second-longest scamper in school annals topace No. 12 Oregon’s 56-7 victoryover Missouri State. The 2010 Heisman Trophy final-

Oregon’s longest run since 1938. Headded a 1-yard TD run in the firstquarter and a 50-yarder in the third. The long one was really the result
of the Ducks’ offensive line, Jamesinsisted, and the path that was clearedby wide receiver Justin Hoffman —who dramatically pushed aside twodefenders. James has 45 career touchdowns,
matching the school record set byDerek Loville (1986-89). Darron Thomas threw for 206
yards and three touchdowns for theDucks, who improved their seasonrecord to 2-1. Lavasier Tuineicaught scoring passes of 8 and 34yards, and Oregon sat most of itsstarters early in the second half. Tuinei finished the game with

ing the top-ranked offense in thePac-12. Arizona’s defense statisti-cally was the worst. So the resultswere predictable from the outset. James, who also had a 51-yard punt

on a tackle of Oregon punt returnerCliff Harris in the end zone thatallowed the Buffaloes to avoid theirfirst shutout at home since losing28-0 to Oklahoma in 1986. Barner gained 115 yards on 10
carries before giving way to a bevy ofreserve running backs, and Bennettadded 69 yards on the ground to gowith 156 yards through the air,completing 11-of-20 passes. He,too, was a sideline spectator before

LaMichael James ran for 146yards and three touchdownsand No. 6 Oregon sprinted
past third-ranked Stanford, 53-30,in what had been anticipated allseason as the league’s premiermatchup all year.James ran for scores from 1, 4 and
58 yards and had Stanford (9-1, 7-1) defenders slipping all over a slickfield. The Ducks (9-1, 7-0) endedthe nation’s best winning streak at17 games — which the Cardinalbegan after a loss in Eugene morethan a year ago — and can clinchthe league’s North Division crownover Stanford with a win in one oftheir final two games.Luck threw for 271 yards and
three touchdowns, but was ham-pered by two interceptions and afumble. Stanford commited fivetotal turnovers.Oregon’s no-huddle, spread
offense ended any hopes ofStanford’s first national champi-onship. Instead, the Ducks weresuddenly back in the BCS title mixafter rolling off their ninth straightvictory — and first against a top-five team on the road in school his-tory. Darron Thomas threw for 155yards and three touchdowns toanchor one big-play burst afteranother. He tossed scores of 59yards to Josh Huff and 41 yards toDe’Anthony Thomas to leave sold-out Stanford Stadium stunned and silent.The Cardinal did little with the
few mistakes Oregon made.

Oregon eliminated any sus-pense in this one early. A16-yard Darron Thomas-
to-David Paulson touchdown passmidway through the second quarterprovided the No. 9 Ducks a leadthey would never relinquish as theycruised to a 49-21 victory overOregon State. The Civil War victo-ry clinched the Pac-12 North titlefor Oregon, entitling it to host the
league’s first championship game.LaMichael James ran for 142
yards and the game’s first touch-down before retiring for the daymidway through the third quarterwith what some described as anarm injury.Quarterback Darron Thomas,
who threw for a season-high 305yards and four touchdowns, said avictory in the Civil War was one ofthe goals Oregon set at the start ofthe season. The Ducks have wonthe last four in the 115-game histo-ry of the rivalry.The junior running back was
already wearing a brace on his rightelbow, missing two games becauseof that injury.The win represented Oregon’s
fourth straight 10-win season —the most over a four-year span inprogram history.The Beavers (3-9, 3-6) aren’t
going to a bowl game for the secondstraight season.Oregon looked as if it was making
a strong bid for a spot in the BCSchampionship game until the previ-ous week, when the Ducks’ hopeswere derailed by Southern California,38-35. But they bounced back easilyagainst Oregon State.
