Oregon holds off USC late, grabs Pac-12 title with 31-24 win

LOS ANGELES -- , Oregon didn't win its Pac-12 division, and it only got into the championship game because Washington had to drop out. The Ducks hadn't won a game in nearly a month before they took the Coliseum field Friday night. They still ended up celebrating amid confetti and streamers in their rivals' empty stadium. After yet another display of the big-game poise their West Coast foes so often lack, the Ducks are back-to-back conference champions. Anthony Brown threw two touchdown passes in his unusual Oregon debut, Jamal Hill made his second interception with 2:47 to play, and the Ducks won their second straight Pac-12 title with a 31-24 victory over No. 13 Southern California. Defensive end Kayvon Thibodeaux , the game's MVP with five tackles and a sack, jauntily wore two hats during the postgame party to symbolize the Ducks' two championships.
