The Oregon Ducks dominated the Oregon State Beavers in a 31-7 victory on Friday night, securing their spot in the Pac-12 Football Championship Game. With this win, the Ducks eliminated Arizona from contention for the title.
Heisman contender Bo Nix was the star of the game, accounting for three touchdowns and leading the Ducks to a record of 11-1 (8-1 Pac-12) for the regular season. Nix's performance solidified his case for the prestigious Heisman Trophy, with betting odds placing him as a close second behind LSU QB Jayden Daniels.
The Ducks will now face off against the No. 4 Washington Huskies in a rematch for the Pac-12 title. The Huskies were responsible for the Ducks' only loss of the regular season in a thrilling 36-33 game. The championship game is scheduled to take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on December 1st and will be broadcast on ABC.
Arizona, who needed both Oregon State to defeat Oregon and a win over ASU to make it to the conference title game, will no longer be in contention for the Pac-12 championship. They are expected to play in the Alamo Bowl against a Big 12 opponent as the Pac-12's third-best team.
The Territorial Cup between Arizona and ASU will kick off on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. MST on ESPN.
