ROAD TO THE A
matchup billed as a potential preview of the Pac-12 Championship Game lived up to the hype when ninth-ranked Oregon overcame No. 18 Arizona State 41–27.
Meanwhile, Washington prepared for its upcoming showdown at Stanford by crushing Colorado 52–24. The North Division’s Ducks, Huskies, and Cardinal all stood unbeaten in Pac-12 play. In Eugene, the Ducks played without star running
back LaMichael James, who dislocated an elbow in week six. Kenjon Barner stepped in and rushed for 171 yards and a touch- down. The Ducks took a while to warm up, but gained 269 yards on the ground after halftime. Darron Thomas passed for 187 yards and two touchdowns de- spite missing much of the fi nal two quar- ters with a leg injury. The victory was Oregon’s 20th in a row at Autzen Stadium. In Seattle, Keith Price passed for four touchdowns—all in the fi rst half—and Chris Polk rushed for 117 yards in the Huskies’ romp. Washington, which entered the Associated Press rankings (at No. 22) after the week, became the fi rst team in school history to score 30 or more points in each of its fi rst six games of the season.
Chris Polk AROUND THE PAC-12
Seventh-ranked Stanford led just 10–7 at halftime at Washington State, then turned the game into a rout in the second half. Final score: 44–14. The Cardinal extended the nation’s longest winning streak to a school-record 14 games. . . USC’s defense was much maligned after two sub-par performances in which it allowed a combined 84 points against Arizona State and Arizona. But the Trojans forced fi ve turnovers in a 30–9 victory at California on Thursday night. . . . John White ran for 171 yards as Utah beat Pittsburgh 26–14.

TEAM EFFORT
With quarterback Jordan Wynn out with a season-ending shoulder injury, defense and special teams picked up the slack for Utah. End Derrick Shelby (the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week) returned an interception 21 yards for the clinch- ing touchdown, and Coleman Petersen (the Special Teams Player of the Week) kicked four fi eld goals in the Utes’ victory at Pittsburgh. Honors on offense went to Stanford’s Andrew Luck for another great performance at Washington State: 336 yards and four touchdowns passing.
