They routed BYU 34-7 in the Big 12 championship game, outgaining the Cougars 374-200. Behren Morton completed 20 of 33 for 215 yards and two TDs with no interceptions. Oregon's schedule avoided Ohio State and Michigan, and when the Ducks did play quality opponents, they lost at home to Indiana and were fortunate to beat Penn State and Iowa. Dante Moore was 21 of 34 for 186 yards with two interceptions against the Hoosiers and 13 of 21 for 112 yards and no TDs with one pick against the Hawkeyes. Oregon is 8-4 UNDER versus the Big 12.
