There was just too much on the line for the Oregon Ducks not to get the job done.
The Pac-12 North was there for the taking. A rematch with Utah for the Pac-12 title and of course, the 125th meeting with the Beavers were all in front of the Ducks as they took to the field last Saturday.
Oregon wanted to get a couple of nasty tastes out of its mouth also. Utah had spanked the Ducks the previous week and Oregon State won the game last season up in Corvallis.
With so much to play for, Oregon turned in a very inspiring performance as they jumped on the Beavers early and went on to win 38-29. Every position group played very well, especially the offense, which turned in their most complete game of the season.
QUARTERBACK:
Grade: A+
Anthony Brown was Anthony Brown once again after a miserable game in Salt Lake City. He was as efficient as ever by moving the ball down the field with his arm and legs. In his last game inside Autzen Stadium, Brown was 23-of-28 passing for 275 yards and two touchdowns. He also rushed for 83 yards and another score. It’s the kind of game Brown and the Duck need if they want to beat Utah and go to the Rose Bowl.
