NOVEMBER 25–26 A
ROAD TO THE
ll the possible permutations in the South Division came to a screeching halt with the fi rst game of the weekend, when Colorado stunned Utah 17–14 in Salt Lake City on
Friday afternoon. The Buffaloes’ upset victory meant that UCLA was assured of represent- ing the South in the inaugural Pac-12 Championship Game. Colorado outgained Utah 254 total yards to 39 while building a 10–0 lead by halftime.
But the Utes turned things around in the second half, and twice pulled within three points. Their last hope to extend a four-game winning streak ended, though, when Coleman Pe- tersen was just barely wide right on a 48-yard fi eld goal try in the fi nal seconds. Oregon wrapped up the North race in
Eugene the next day. The Ducks blast- ed Oregon State 49–21 in the 115th edition of the Civil War and earned the right to host the Conference title game. Oregon dominated the game from
De’Anthony Thomas
the start, although several drives stalled, and the Beavers tied the score at 7–7 early in the second quarter. But Darron Thomas passed for three touch- downs in a span of 7:33 late in the fi rst half to break open the game. One of those scores was an eight-yard strike to running back De’Anthony Thomas, who scored the 16th touchdown of his freshman season.
