Thursday Night Football Civil War
For the first time ever, the winner of the Civil War game was guaranteed a Rose Bowl berth. Jerimiah Masoli wanted to make sure that the Ducks were winners.
Masoli threw for 201 yards and a 73 yard touchdown, and he made some key plays in Oregon's 37-33 win over Oregon State to win the Civil War and an invatation to play Ohio State in the Rose Bowl.
LaMichael James ran for 3 touchdowns, including a 52 yard touchdown where he outran 3 Beavers to the end zone for a score. LeGarrette Blount ran for 51 yards and a touchdown where he broke 2 tackles and dove over a defender for a 15 yard score.
An early interception helped Oregon State score early, but LaMichael James rushed for a 1 yard TD to tie it up at 7. OSU got a FG and the score was 10-7 after 1.
Masoli found Jeff Maehl, who outran a defender to get the score. 2 Beaver field goals, 1 set up by a turnover had the Beavs up 16-14.
LaMichael James found a hole after a nice drive and put the Ducks up 21-16, but Sean Canfield hit James Rodgers, who broke a tackle to score and put OSU up 23-21 at halftime.
Canfield drove the Beavers downfield and he hit Casey Kjos for a TD and it was a 2 score game. But Blount entered the game for the first time since September 3 and scored to cut the Beaver lead to 2.
OSU got a field goal, but James had a 52 yard TD run to make it 34-33 Oregon. Morgan Flint hit a field goal and with 6 and a half minutes left Oregon State went for it on 4th and 15 and the pass was incomplete. But late in the game Oregon faced a 4th and 3 at the Beavers 33 and Chip Kelly chose to go for it.
Masoli started to scramble and he bounced off a tackler for a 5 yard gain and a 1st down.
Oregon faced another 4th and 2 and they chose to go for it, knowing it would seal the game. Masoli ran and did an option pitch to Kenjon Barner, who got a first down to seal the game.
Oregon won their second straight Civil War game, but this game had more hype then all the others. Oregon State will either go to the Holiday, Sun, Emerald, Poinsettia, or Las Vegas bowl while Oregon will face Ohio State on January 1st in the Rose Bowl.
