TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) -- Oregon's national title dream has ended.
Quarterback Dennis Dixon's Heisman Trophy campaign also took a heavy blow.
The curse of No. 2 claimed another victim when the second-ranked Ducks lost Dixon to a knee injury and never recovered in a 34-24 upset by Arizona on Thursday night.
"The national championship thing was fine while it lasted," Oregon coach Mike Bellotti said. "The reality is we're still always trying to get the conference championship and the very best bowl game (the Rose Bowl)."
