The Civil War between Oregon and Oregon State continued yesterday. These teams have met 112 previous times but never for the Pac-10 Title and a trip to the Rose Bowl on the line. The game itself was an offensive game. Both defenses were not at their best and this became a real boxing match. In the end the Ducks prevailed 37-33 as their defense finally was able to stop the Beavers long enough for their team to take control in the late third quarter. Both teams didn't do much in the fourth quarter except for a Ducks field goal.
Sean Canfield of the Beavers did carry his team as he threw for 306 yards and 2 TDs. The Ducks won however with it's rushing attack with 288 yards. LaMichael James lead the charge with a 166 yards and 3 TDs. LeGarrette Blount made his return punching through the Beavers a bit with 9 Carries, 51 Yards and one TD.
With this win, the Ducks will go to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena to face the Big Ten Champs, Ohio State. Ohio State has the edge between the two teams 7-0 overall. The Ducks offense is ready but the defense doesn't seem like it can consistently be good. Oregon will have to make this a high scoring game in order to win it.
P.S. I couldn't resist the punching comment. It was just too easy.
