Ducks beat Beavers, will play for title

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 83 yards and another score, and No. 11 Oregon beat Oregon State 38-29 on Saturday to win the Pac-12 North Division and claim a spot in the conference championship game.

“I can just check that off my box of things I always wanted to do. Today was special,” said Brown, a graduate transfer.

Oregon extended its home winning streak to 19 games, including 15 conference games.

Now the Ducks (10-2, 7-2) will face No. 19 Utah for the conference title in Las Vegas on Friday.

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.

B.J. Baylor ran for 59 yards for the Beavers, who are bowl eligible for the first time since 2013. Baylor came into the game leading the Pac-12 and at No. 10 in the nation with an average of 109.1 yards rushing per game. Oregon State’s Chance Nolan threw for 308 yards and a pair of touchdowns. He ran for another late.
