DUCKS 62 TROJANS 51

Kenjon Barner rushed for a school-record 321 yards and five touchdowns, Marcus Mariota threw four TD passes, and No. 2 Oregon produced another landmark offensive performance in a 62-51 victory over No. 18 Southern California on Saturday night.

Josh Huff caught two touchdowns, and De'An-thony Thomas and Daryl Hawkins also caught scoring passes for the Ducks (9-0, 6-0 Pac-12), who outlasted USC in a back-and-forth second half to extend their winning streak to 12 games since the Trojans (6-3, 4-3) won in Eugene last season.

Oregon's 730 yards and 62 points were the most ever allowed by USC.

Barner set a rushing record for a USC opponent by the third quarter, topping Curtis Enis's 241 yards for Penn State in 1996, and smashed the school record shortly afterward as the Ducks pulled away.

Matt Barkley passed for 484 yards and four touchdowns while hitting Mar-qise Lee with 12 passes for 157 yards and two touchdowns for the Trojans (6-3, 3-3).
