TWTW: Oregon Survives Early Scare, Beats Arizona

((HT: KVAL-TV Eugene))

Oregon earned at least a share of its second-straight Pac-10 title and stayed on course for a trip to the BCS national championship game.

Darron Thomas passed for 148 yards and three scores and ran for one more. LaMichael James ran for 126 yards and two scores for the Ducks, now 11-0/8-0, who trailed 19-14 at halftime.

"Yeah, we finally get to eat turkey," Oregon cornerback and return specialist Cliff Harris said.

The Ducks have only won 11 games in a season once before, when they went to the Fiesta Bowl in 2001.

The Ducks can lock up the conference title and a spot in the national championship game in Glendale, Arizona, next week with a victory at Oregon State.

Here's your recap... Nick Krupke, apparently, never gets to go outside...

TWTW: The State Of Oregon Does What It's Supposed To... Beavers Beat Arizona, Oregon Over Wazzu

((HT: KVAL-TV Eugene))

The biggest question for the Oregon-Wazzu game is: Why in the blue hell would the Cougars schedule the Oregon Ducks for homecoming...???

A couple of issues here after the 43-23 win, where the Ducks were listed as a 36-point favorite..

Backup quarterback Nate Costa played the final three quarter after Darron Thomas left with an apparent shoulder injury.

The Ducks were also without backup running back Kenjon Barner for most of the game after getting the worst of a head-to-head collision on a first-quarter kickoff return.

It was pretty nasty, and is in Nick Krupke's highlights below...


Second, so much for Arizona being unbeatable this year...
Ryan Katz threw for 393 yards and two touchdowns as the Oregon Staters upset Arizona and won for the fifth time in a row in the series, 29-27...

The Wildcats, now 4-1, were in the top 10 for the first time since the 1999 preseason rankings. Oregon State, now 3-2, lost standout receiver James Rodgers to a knee injury in the second quarter on a bogus tackle in the endzone as he scored...

Rodgers was hog-collared, clearly after he crossed the plane on an apparent score, and the HQ clearly understands the whole "momentum" thing. But there should have been a flag, and Rodgers may even get a medical redshirt because of this...

At the very least, he's gone for a while...

Krupke takes over again... Brian Elder is on location...

TWTW: Rough Sledding For The Silver Surfer, Arizona Takes Out USC

((HT: KGUN-TV/Tucson))

It's the first time that Mike Stoops has beaten Pete Carroll...
How 'bout dat...???

A late TD pass to Juron Criner from Nick Foles with 3:14 to play handed Arizona, likely, a Holiday Bowl berth with a 21-17 victory over USC on Saturday.

This is the first time in recent memory that a rebuilding year for USC really was a rebuilding year after all... huh...???

Arizona gets a share of second in the Pac-10 with its first eight-win regular season since 1998, and knocked off a ranked team for the sixth straight season under Stoops.

The Wildcats also ended a seven-game losing streak against USC.
At the Coliseum, too...

KGUN's Dave Silver has highlights behind him in a monitor...


Looks like that 102-week streak of being ranked will go out the window for USC, too early next week... Yikes...
