passes all season.

nation’s third-leading rusher, the
Bruins gave the Ducks all they

enough, as they lost their third
straight after opening the season
w ith six wins.

P ac-1 0 in rush in g and to u ch ­

o f an extra benefits violation. His
status for next S atu rd ay 's gam e

Ducks need only a victory over
Oregon State at Autz.en Stadium
on Dec. 1 to earn the P ac-10 title
and a berth in the Fiesta Bowl.
Thus, the Ducks have plenty
of tim e to get ready. Bellotti said
they need it.
“W e w ill practice for O regon
State as if it w ere a bowl gam e,”
Bellotti said after No. 7 O regon
held off No. 20 UCLA 21 -20 when
Chris G riffith m issed w hat w ould

field goal on the final play S atur­

Oregon (9-1,6-1 P ac-10) is tied
for first place with W ashington
State, but the D ucks ow n the
tiebreaker, having beaten the C ou­
gars 24-17 on O ct. 27.
