PULLMAN, Wash. -- Oregon's worst rushing performance in conference play since 2007 sent its season average and national ranking plummeting 20 spots.
After rushing for just 58 yards on 24 carries in a 34-20 loss at No. 25 Washington State, the No. 12 Ducks went from second in the Pac-12 and 31st nationally in rushing (209.5 yards per game) to fourth and 51st (187.9), respectively.
It was Oregon's lowest rushing total in a conference game since gaining just 43 rushing yards in a 16-0 loss to UCLA on Nov. 24, 2007 and just the fourth time the Ducks ran for less than 100 yards in their last 95 conference games.
