the leadership. that's what chip kelley is trying to say. we've got to come up with some plays. there's first down. he comes across. picks up a first down in the red zone. i believe the cardinals -- >> kirk: they continue to use the tight ends. and this is where chris owusu in a game like this, hurry-up, plays catch-up, really could use the sreceiver out on the edge with a great deal of experience. >> brent: first down. and whalen with a first and goal at the 8 yard line. >> kirk: you just talk about what owusu can do but whalen has had to pick up the slack. gives them a nice shake there at the line of scrimmage. then it comes down to the timing

and rhythm there between luck who you can see in the background, and whalen. by the time whalen turned out of that cut, the ball was in the air on the backside shoulder where it needs to be to give whalen a chance to not only make the catch but get upfield there to try to shake loose from hill. first and goal. inside. the ducks actually with very good defense. pretty good looking linebacker. >> kirk: i think clay's had to step up in the leadership. meant so much to the team. the coaches tells us he's kind of the glue now. he's healthy now. had an ankle in week two against nevada. outstanding instincts. the overall defense has improved, played much better, when 46 is on the field.

>> brent: second down and goal for the cardinal. down goes luck at the 11 yard line. interesting, kaddu's father came up to me prior to the game, okay, and he said, will you and mr. herbstriet give my son some love tonight? he's a big-time player. >> kirk: he battled through some injuries. really, the last three or four games, josh kaddu has taken his game to a different level. they moved him down as a defensive end. he's an outside linebacker but they moved him down when he faces teams like this because of his pass rush ability. >> brent: third down and goal from the 9 yard line. luck. going to take off.

down to the 1 yard line. shoe came off. would be of tne of the ducks. this is fourth down coming up. >> kirk: aliotti deserves credit for the preparation, in trying to match up with david shaw's mind. they've been in position all night holding up and forcing this fourth down. andrew luck doesn't have anywhere to go with the football because his primary receivers are double teamed. >> brent: cross into the end zone. may have been a free play. i think a defensive lineman again came across the neutral zone. stewart's touchdown is going to count. >> referee: offside on the defense, number 66. that penalty's declined. touchdown.

>> brent: so taylor heartart approaches and stewart goes airborne for the score. one of the things the scouts are going to be impressed by luck never out of it, keeps coming, keeps firing, you know, he's a great, great competitor. look at some of the things. that one just did get across. >> kirk: adventure.

11 by deanthony thomas. the freshman. and he is down at the 21 yard line. herbie. >> kirk: lamichael james told his teammates he wanted an opportunity to make plays. he was cooped up in the early part of the game but then got loose and has really been able to make enough plays to get this oregon offense into the end zone, three touchdowns on the night. >> brent: here comes a critical juncture in this game. if stanford is to give back, they're going to have to stop the duck attack. as simple as that. barner gets the first carry. into the middle. and that's a tough first down run. when you get yardage like that on first down, it gets a whole lot easier for the offense. >> kirk: which they've not been doing a lot of. barner comes in with fresh legs. that's his third carry on the

night. >> brent: they're up and ready to go again. second back over to the sideline. and brings up the time with this 15-point lead. here comes barner. got the first down. breaks across midfield. >> kirk: this is where they really, really challenge you mentally. because you're down. all you have to do is let up one play. and go from 100% effort down to 90% effort. a guy like barner gets a seam or a crease and he picks up yards quickly. >> brent: at the 49 yard line. first down. 8:40 to go. and chip kelley is taking his time.

milking it down. bringing it to five. now they get ready to put it in motion. the clock is apparently not running somewhere. >> kirk: play clock was down to about 2 seconds when the official came in. >> brent: it was the game clock that wasn't moving. they have to make a decision on where to reset it. >> referee: clock operator, please reset the game clock to 8:30. 8:30.

>> brent: since that first quarter, when they were stymied a little bit. again, chip kelley just keeps probing, keeps probing. he's got that great speed. finally was able to turn it loose for some big plays here. he's dominated. lamichael watching. has had a big night. 136 yards. three touchdowns. first down and ten. and now they're going. the play clock -- play clock

started to run down. went back up to 25. >> referee: the play clock was interrupted. we're going to reset the play clock to 25 seconds. and the game clock will not start until the snap. until the snap. so now the referee's going over to explain to chip. they want to go ahead and run it

now. first down and ten. from the cardinal 49 yard line. it's barner. like herbie said with those fresh legs. good first down run again before murphy can make the stop. game clock moving around now. it seems like they're working the play clock. you never know when they might go with that quick snap. all they're doing is trying to give stanford -- obviously, tip their hand what kind of coverage they're in. >> brent: he's got nothing but daylig daylight. down to the 25 yard line. and tim scott finally tracked him down. >> kirk: it's a staple of the offense. can't just pin your ears down and try to take away the running backs because darron thomas has

enough athlete uk ability. love how he tried to stay in bounds there. >> brent: milking the clock with this 13-point lead. at the 25 yard line, the nation's longest winning streak in jeopardy here. and barner is stopped by a.j. tarpley. >> kirk: tarpley's been busy, hasn't he, brent? >> brent: yes, he has. that winning streak for the cardinal stands at 17. and that would mean boise state's done. so oklahoma state and lsu and i know that houston, the story of the quarterback, keenum, for

"gameday" going down there. numbers are unbelievable. and there's the handoff. barner is stopped. and it look like you're going to join me in eugene for the usc/oregon game. that will be a pretty good football game up there. usc, good team. >> kirk: that will be a great game. usc again, the kind of team that's off the radar. but oked impressive today against washington. >> brent: magnificent job of milking this clock. with a 13-point lead. he is a terrific game manager. keeps the pressure. another one who has played well.

there is chip kelley. just an unbelievable record here at the pack 12. chip kelley still trying to keep thomas at the line of scrimmage. see if he's going to call a time-out or if he's going to go for this. >> brent: going to milk it down a little bit. >> kirk: wants the time-out. now he takes his time-out. he brought the game clock down to 5:14 before he called it. now he sends the kicker on to the field. >> kirk: on second and third down, kept the ball in the middle of the field. dance? you do a mime thing? maybe a little moonwalk? answer a pretend phone call? well, whatever it is, get it ready, pal-cuz' it's time to enter the built ford tough big score. top prize is a 2012 f-150 with an

>> brent:'s take a look at the game summary. while we were away, you made a great point now about this heisman trophy race. >> kirk: you know how much the voters look at teams that are winning. tonight andrew luck who coming in tonight was a clear-cut favorite. if they end up losing this game, trent richardson lost last week, kellen moore lost today. >> brent: with a 40-yarder. and he's got it. so it's a 16-point lead. or a two touchdown and two two-point conversions. as we take a look at the heisman ology, the way some of the felfells las said they had luck with a very big lead on richardson on alabama. you have to keep an eye on weeden and keenum.

they're both coming on the outside like smoke. >> kirk: it does -- the results of this game, if it ends up holding up, it makes not just the bcs race and discussion interesting, it does make the heisman discussion because luck was from the beginning of the year the guy and you know how voters are, they look at what a team does as much as how the individual does, and with kellen moore and andrew luck both potentially losing today, richardson losing last week, it's just, it's wide open. i'm not saying who's ahead of who, but how do you vote? i mean, it's going to be -- i think you'll see a wide array of opinions on how you vote for whoever it might be. with andrew luck, with that big of a lead, would he still be at the top? we'll see. >> brent: it will be interesting. we'll get ready now. mr. luck was saying, hold on

there, mr. herbstriet, i got 5:09. they might want to send him out a safety. >> kirk: exactly. >> brent: so there is the return by stewart. and i want to really mind everybody that on monday night, the green bay packers welcome the vikings to lambeau field. and no one, no one, is hotter than aaron rodgers, but remember back in the days when he played at cal for jeff tedford? well, there are his percentages. pretty good now, right? 24 touchdowns. 8 interceptions. in his senior year. with the cal bears. of course the bears are coming in to play stanford here next week in the big game. so first down and ten. chance to look at aaron and the packers on monday night on espn. and luck. toilolo picks up about five yards. they start it from the 29 yard line after that stewart return. now luck in the hurry-up. here we go.

>> kirk: got to have the urgency here. get everybody ready to attack. he led a perfect two-minute drive right before the half. >> brent: intercepted! should have been caught! instead, it's going to be a pick six! take it in lokombo. what a moment for a defensive player. heartache for luck. because i thought looking at the play live that it should have been caught but we'll look at replay. >> kirk: it looked like it was right in his arms. that's more impressive to me than any number you could talk about. what luck did right there to a true freshman after throwing a pick six, he goes right up to him and he pats him on the helmet. that's more impressive than

anything i've seen all night tonight from luck. instead of being selfish and worrying about a pick six, he pats the kid on the back and says, hey, shake it off, don't worry about it. that's impressive. it's another pick six. this new at&t 4g lte is fast. hey, two tickets just opened up on the 50. ...yup, about to go pick them up from will call. so 46 seconds ago. did you guys hear that chapman rolled his ankle? done. get out there. so 12 seconds ago.

[ giggles ] >> kirk: andrew luck throws the interception. comes over to the freshman. it's been a tough night. oregon's done a really good job coming into tonight number one in the pac-12 in passing efficiency defense. they've mixed up the looks and created enough pressure on luck to make him uncomfortable back there in the pocket. that interception was in the receiver's hand s and it just flipped through his hands and it was a nice play by oregon. >> brent: and a good return.

fumble! and the ducks have got it! it is starting to get ugly. >> kirk: how about beard, the kicker, getting down there and recovering it? >> brent: remember the onside kick last year? he recovers that in eugene. >> kirk: he's an athlete. he's not afraid. ball is clearly loose. and there's beard. one of these nights for the cardinal. when it comes to these turnovers. >> brent: that's the fourth turnover of the night. the james gang. they're ready to go back to work. and trey carson, talented

youngster, for the ducks, is going to see his first action. freshman out of texarkana, texas. there's your difference in the ball game right there. >> kirk: stanford had seven turnovers coming into the game tonight. they had four in this huge showdown with the oregon ducks. >> brent: so the ducks battle themselves right back into the bcs picture. lamichael james has to be discussed now when you're talking about heisman. the ducks go home with a chance to win the north and host the first championship game as it has slipped away from stanford. control of the north has gone as far as stanford is concerned. it has shifted to the northwest. the american music awards. one place to see all your favorite artists and performers.

taylor swift. music's biggest night. that's coming up live. so it is third down and 12. and it is clock milking time for the ducks. a very -- let's put this up front, this is a very impressive performance by oregon. i didn't run into anybody who thought the ducks were going to come in here and blow stanford's wheels out. i didn't hear that. it looked like a battle for the loose ball. >> kirk: it looks like he came in from behind and knocked that ball away from thomas. let's see if he gets a hand on it. knocks it away. masifilo's been busy. that whole front. when they moved trent murphy down. did a good job. other than the big plays.

those big strong teams with the defensive lines. there aren't many teams that can stop thomas and james and company. you may stop them for two plays, then they give up the 50-yard touchdown. >> brent: handoff to carson. short of the first down. stanford will take over. >> kirk: a lot on the line in the game tonight. you talked about pacific northwest, what oregon's done since chip kelley has taken over as the head coach.

fumble! and the ducks have got it. and now a penalty flag comes flying. so that's the fifth turnover of this game. >> kirk: that look says it all right there, david shaw. >> referee: on the defense, number 92. it was after the fumble recovery. first down. >> kirk: patterson, the nickel back, one of the players that has really improved from behind, knocks the ball loose. this ducks defense has been attacking the football all night. pleasant got his hands on that

football. >> brent: so stanford no longer has its winning streak or its big ratings in the bcs. but they've got one thing, herbie, they've got the best women's soccer team in the country. they're ranked number one. this is just a great school. it's not -- obviously, the football team is wonderful, but some of the other sports around stanford, women's sports, basketball team. this was last night. watch this header against the montana grizzlies. wow. beat 'em 3-0. they shut out. now, i got to ask you, in football, that draws a penalty flag. how come that's legal with women's soccer? just kidding. >> kirk: okay. >> brent: but i'll tell you, mariah nakwiarisi's header was as presentedy as you'll see. that was a beautiful ball.

so this bring this one to an end. and stanford has lost control of the pac-12 north. reminder to stay tuned now for the ford wrap-up. it will come up right after tonight's game. >> kirk: don't forget pac-12 championship, the winner of this game more than likely will be in position to host that game. >> brent: some say oregon's in position. >> kirk: is it okay? can we assume they'll beat oregon state? >> brent: you can say they're in position. we'll go see against the trojans, okay. >> kirk: usc, oregon state. a chance to host the pac-12 championship game in austin stadium. arizona state, coming out of the pac-12, they'll have their hands full. >> brent: good luck with tickets. what a great coaching job by

chip kelley and this entire staff. hats off to nick aliotti and mark helfrich, they're the two coordinators. >> erin: let me ask you about lamichael james. how was he able to get loose in this game? >> when you play a good team like stanford, it's not going to happen early but we feel the way we practice, there's eventually some things that break. that's what happened. that was a great game. >> erin: good football team but you continue to be able to find their defense out of position tonight. why? >> it was just, you know, i think we got a good team, they got a good team, you know. it's a back and forth game and they turned it over a couple times but we weren't really -- we weren't really like we have been with about a minute to go in that game. >> erin: i know you hate answering questions about the defense. don't give me a hard time about

this. >> i love -- >> erin: andrew luck, how were you able to keep him uncomfortable all night? >> our d-line is doing a great job. i can tell you that i love them. >> erin: you come in here, you beat stanford. what does this mean for the bcs? >> we got no idea about that. we know we got a really big game next week against usc. we got to pick our head up sometime in december and see what this thing is but if we start thinking about that stuff right now, that's not going to -- we're going to get ready for a big game next week. >> erin: thanks, coach. >> brent: so herbie, you know, the rose bowl would be a pretty good landing place for these oregon ducks now that we think about it. and if they host the winner of the south, they're going to be a big favorite up in eugene. >> kirk: tonight, 63 plays. 53 points. i know the turnovers helped them. but 63 plays, 53 points. and we wanted to know, does speed versus size, who would win

out? and, again, you see it a lot in college football, the speed just too much for stanford. >> brent: slippery field. why these ducks practice in the rain all the time. no problem, man, no problem. let's just turn it loose. and the james gang did it here tonight. big win. 53-30. ducks are in control of the pac-12 north. we'll see you in the usc/oregon game next week. thanks for watching espn on abc. let's take you to the studio. the ford wrap-up. take it away, robert flores. >> thanks, brent. welcome to the ford wrap-up. the scandal at penn state has been college football's most dominant story. this afternoon for the first time since the mid-'60s, penn state playing without joe paterno as their head coach. taking on nebraska. there's jay paterno, joe's son, penn state's quarterback coach, visiting his parent's house before the game. better than 10
