Pac-10 Week 14 Wrap Up
53
It took until the final week of the regular season, but the Pac-10 Conference finally has a champion. Congratulations to the University of Oregon Ducks and good luck in the Rose Bowl.
Oregon State @ Oregon: This year’s Civil War not only lived up to the hype, but it surpassed it as well. On a Thursday night with the whole nation watching, the Oregon schools put on a show. In the end the Ducks high-octane offense was to much for the Beavers to handle as the Beavers failed to make crucial stops late in the fourth quarter. LaMichael James struggle in the first half, but broke loose after halftime and rushed for a career high three touchdowns and over 150 yards in the 37-33 victory.
Arizona @ USC: The Wildcats went in to Los Angeles and upset the 18th ranked USC Trojans 21-17. USC never found the rhythm offensively. The crowd and the team were lackluster and apathetic all afternoon. By winning this game, Arizona clinches second place in the Pac-10 and will represent the conference in the Holiday Bowl. USC will fall to sixth and will play in the Poinsettia Bowl.
Cal @ Washington: In what was possibly his last game as a collegiate quarterback, Jake Locker put on a show. The junior quarterback passed for three touchdowns and ran for two more. Cal will get to play again in a bowl game while Washington’s season is over. The Huskies showed promise for their future, but a lot of that will depend on Jake Locker’s decision.
