Oregon Ducks upset undefeated USC Trojans to claim Pac-12 title

LOS ANGELES -- Anthony Brown threw two touchdown passes in his unusual Oregon debut, Jamal Hill made an interception with 2:47 to play and the Ducks won their second straight Pac-12 title with a 31-24 victory over No. 13 USC in the championship game Friday night.

Tyler Shough also threw two touchdown passes for the Ducks (4-2), who didn't win the North Division, yet still claimed the Pac-12's New Year's Six bowl berth with their only victory in the past month.

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.
