This triumph marked the end of their regular-season rivalry for the time being. Led by Bo Nix, Oregon, ranked sixth, showcased a strong performance against the fifteenth-ranked Oregon State. The Ducks (11-1, 8-1 Pac-12, No. 6 CFP) are set to compete against fourth-ranked Washington in Las Vegas next Friday. This game is particularly significant as it is the last conference championship before the departure of 10 teams from the league next season. The victor of this match will have the opportunity to participate in the four-team College Football Playoff. This win represents Oregon’s sixth consecutive victory following their defeat to Washington on October 14. The forthcoming championship game will be the first Pac-12 title game between these two teams. Nix, a leading contender for the Heisman Trophy, impressively completed 33 of his 40 pass attempts, accumulating 367 yards. Among his targets, Troy Franklin stood out, receiving nine passes for 128 yards and a touchdown. For Oregon State (8-4, 5-4, No. 16 CFP), DJ Uiagalelei managed 220 yards and a touchdown pass. Oregon State and Washington State are the only two teams not leaving the Pac-12, with Oregon joining the Big Ten next season. Unlike the Apple Cup rivalry between Washington and Washington State, which will continue as a nonconference game, no similar arrangement has been made for the Ducks and Beavers. Washington (11-0, 6-0, No. 4 CFP) secured their championship spot with a win over Oregon State last weekend. They will play Washington State on Saturday. The Ducks’ opening drive saw Bucky Irving receive a short pass from Nix and sprint for a 14-yard touchdown. Nix himself scored with a 16-yard run in the second quarter, and both scoring drives included successful fourth-down conversions. A 9-yard touchdown pass from Uiagalelei to Silas Bolden brought the score to 14-7. However, Nix responded with a 41-yard touchdown pass to Franklin, extending the lead to 21-7 at halftime. Franklin’s touchdown marked his 14th of the season and his 25th career touchdown at Oregon, setting a new school record. The Ducks further extended their lead with Camden Lewis’s 35-yard field goal and Jordan James’s 1-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Nix has thrown 37 touchdown passes this season with only two interceptions, and he has also scored six rushing touchdowns. Key Insights: Oregon State: Speculation surrounds coach Jonathan Smith’s future with the Beavers, amidst rumors linking him to Michigan State. Athletic director Scott Barnes emphasized the importance of retaining Smith in Corvallis. Oregon: The Ducks achieved their ninth consecutive win over Oregon State at Autzen Stadium, marking their first 11-win season since 2019 and the eighth in their history. Arizona’s chances at the conference championship were dashed regardless of their upcoming game against Arizona State. End of a Rivalry: The longstanding rivalry, deeply ingrained in Oregon’s culture, will be missed by fans. The 127th meeting between the two teams brought emotions from alumni like Donna Moore, who reminisced about the camaraderie and state unity the rivalry fostered. Looking Ahead: Oregon State anticipates its bowl game invitation, while Oregon prepares for the Pac-12 championship against Washington.
