has not yet used all of his
eligibility, but is expected to
be a top pick in the NFL draft
next spring.
Dye has played four
seasons for the Ducks, but the
pandemic-shortened season
granted the running back an
extra year of eligibility.
He did not take part in the
senior festivities — but earlier
this week he cautioned not to
read too much into it because
he hasn’t decided about his
plans for next year.

EUGENE — Oregon
quarterback Anthony Brown
Jr. got one chance to face rival
Oregon State in his career
with the Ducks, and he made
it count.
Brown threw for 275 yards
and two touchdowns while
running for another score, and
No. 11 Oregon beat Oregon
State 38-29 on Saturday, Nov.
27 to win the Pac-12 North Di-
vision and claim a spot in the
league’s championship game.
“I can just check that off
my box of things I always
wanted to do. Today was spe-
cial,” said Brown, a graduate
transfer from Boston College
who played behind Tyler
Shough last season.
Now there’s more for
Brown to accomplish.
The Ducks (10-2, 7-2) will
face No. 16 Utah for the con-
ference championship in Las
Vegas on Friday, Dec. 3.
Oregon was coming off a
38-7 loss last Saturday against
the Utes, which dropped it
from No. 3 in the College Foot-
ball Playoff rankings to No.
11 and out of contention for a
national title.
Oregon extended its home
winning streak to 19 games,
including 15 conference
games.
Washington State, which
defeated Washington 40-13
in the Apple Cup on Friday
night, needed the Beavers
(7-5, 5-4) to beat the Ducks to
win the division.
Devon Williams had six
catches for 110 yards and a
touchdown for Oregon, which
will play for the league title for
the third consecutive season.
Travis Dye ran for 99 yards
and two scores.
