First Pac 12 Championship Game

UPDATE: Oregon Crushes UCLA to Earn Inaugural Pac-12 Championship

     LaMichael James continued to tear the Bruins defense apart in the second half.  The second half started with a Touchdown by Prince to bring UCLA within 11 points, but James followed it with a touchdown for Oregon.  Oregon would add another TD after that on a 22 yard Darron Thomas pass to David Paulson.  LaMichael James finished with 219 rushing yards and 3 TDs.  Oregon QB Darron Thomas finished 20 for 36 for 219 yards, 3 TDs, and 1 INT.  He also had 60 yards rushing.  Oregon handled UCLA as they should have in the first Pac-12 championship game, winning 49-31 and earning a BCS bid to play in the Rose Bowl.

35-17 Oregon Leads at Halftime

     There certainly is not a lack of scoring in this game at the half.  Oregon is being led by LaMichael James with 115 yards and 2 TDs.  With USC being banned from the conference title game, it opened the door for another team to qualify that any other year wouldn't have.  UCLA was a 32 point underdog, so I was interested to see if Oregon would actually cover it.  It's going to be interesting to see if they do at the end of this game.  Thought 32 points was quite a lot but the way it looks now, with Oregon leading 35-17 at the half, it is going to be close.
