| Defense Takes Care of Business, No. 5 Ducks Beat No. 9 USC
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -- Oregon can start seriously thinking about a national title run. As for Southern California, just winning the Pac-10 could be a long shot at this point. Jonathan Stewart ran for 103 yards and two touchdowns and the fifth-ranked Ducks knocked off No. 9 USC 24-17 on Saturday. Dennis Dixon completed 16 of 25 passes for 157 yards. He also ran for 76 yards and a touchdown for Oregon (7-1, 4-1). The Ducks, who came into the game ranked second nationally in total offense, had 399 yards against the Trojans. USC's defense, ranked third in the nation, held up against the Ducks. But it was turnovers - including a fumble recovery and a pair of interceptions - that gave Oregon the advantage over the Trojans (6-2, 3-2). USC, which came into the season ranked No. 1 and a heavy favorite to play for a national title, now will need help to defend the Pac-10 crown it has owned at least a share of for six straight seasons.
