The Oregon Ducks are the Pac-12 football champs once again after their 31-24 victory over USC at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum Friday night. This was Oregon’s second consecutive Pac-12 title and their fourth overall- the most of any school in the Pac-12 conference.
Oregon back-up quarterback Anthony Brown was pulled in to the game in key short-yardage and goal line situations and threw two touchdown passes in his debut. Defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux, who finished with five tackles, a sack, two tackles for losses, and a pass breakup, was named the Most Valuable Player.
The Ducks defeat USC, 31-24 to earn its second straight conference championship.

Oregon had a 31-17 lead with less than 10 minutes to play, but Bru McCoy caught a TD pass on fourth down for the Trojans (5-1) before they got the ball back with 4:43 left. USC reached midfield in search of a fourth-quarter comeback win for the fourth time in its six-game season, but Kedon Slovis threw the first fourth-quarter interception of his career.
LOS ANGELES The Oregon football team will look to become two-time defending Pac-12 Conference champs when the Ducks play at No. 13 Southern California on Friday.
The Ducks (3-2) are coming off a bye week because Washington was unable to play in Eugene last week due to COVID-19 protocols. The Huskies thus won the Pac-12 North based on winning percentage, but they also could not play this week and so Oregon was elevated into the conference title game matchup with the Trojans (5-0).
Friday s game will be televised by FOX, with Joe Davis on play by play and former UO coach Mark Helfrich providing analysis.
