Sports Editor The No. 5 Oregon Ducks (11- 1) continued its recent dominance over in-state rival, No. 16 Oregon State (8-3), winning the Civil War for the fifth straight season with a 48-24 victory in the 116th edition on Saturday afternoon at Reser Stadium in Corvallis. The victory put the Ducks squarely back into the National Championship picture for few hours, but Notre Dame’s victory over USC later in the day put a damper on those hopes. Oregon is No. 5 in the current BCS rankings but with the Irish season finished at 12-0 and the all but impossible task of rising above the SEC champion facing the Ducks, they are going to be shut out of the national championship picture this season. Unfortunately, who ever wins the SEC Championship game, Alabama or Georgia, will play Notre Dame for the BCS title. Oregon will get the opportu nity to play in a BCS bowl for the fourth consecutive season. That is no small feat, Duck fans. Oregon turned a close game into a rout with a few big plays out of its explosive offense and a couple of timely gifts from the Beavers in the second half. After the Beavers closed within 20-17 in the third quarter, the Ducks answered with two touch downs in less than two-minutes as they pushed ahead convinc ingly, 34-17. The Beavers fell apart from there, as turnovers piled up and Oregon added two more scores to push the lead to 48-17 with 10 minutes remaining. OSU quar terback Sean Mannion threw four interceptions on the day, as Oregon’s talented secondary made plays time and again. Oregon throttled the Beavers on the ground, racking up 250 yards by halftime on its way to 430 yards on 64 carries for the game. Kenjon Barner had 141 yards at halftime, as he, De’Anthony Thomas and Marcus Mariota all had first half rush ing touchdowns. Mariota kept the offense balanced in the first half by completing passes to five dif ferent receivers for 61 yards. The Ducks held the Beavers to 67 yards rushing in the opening half, but Mannion kept OSU close by completing 12 o f 18 passes for 130 yards. The Beavers complet ed a big fourth down play near the end of the half before kicking a field goal to close within 20-10 at halftime.. After die Beavers scored to make it 20-17, it seemed like we were going to be in for a barnburner, but things unraveled in a hurry for the Beavers. Two fumbles oh special teams and an interception by Mannion doomed any chance of a comeback, as Oregon scored 28 points in just over 11 minutes to put the game away. Barner finished with 28 carries for 198 yards and two touch downs, while Thomas added 122 rushing yards and three touchdowns. For good measure, Mariota added 85 yards on eight carries. It was such an explosive performance that the Beavers would have had trouble overcom ing it, even without the turnovers. Now the Ducks will prob ably have to settle for the Fiesta Bowl and Kansas State, instead of playing for the coveted BCS crystal ball against a hated SEC foe for the second time in three seasons. Take heart Duck nation, as Oregon continues its rise, the Ducks are the only team in the nation to play in four, straight BCS bowl games.
