Jeremiah Masoli threw for 222 yards and a touchdown and ran for 164 more yards with another score and the No. 10 Oregon Ducks ran past No. 4 Southern Cal, 47-20, in Eugene, Ore., on Saturday for the Trojans’ worst loss since 1997.

Redshirt freshman LaMichael James ran for 184 yards and a score as the Ducks (7-1 overall, 5-0 Pacific-10 Conference) racked up 391 yards on the ground against the Trojans, who came into the game with the fifth-best rush defense in the nation, holding foes to an average of 79.9 yards a game

“I don’t know if we made a statement, this is just what we planned on doing,” Masoli said. “If it makes a statement it makes a statement. That’s just Oregon football and how we roll.”

USC (6-2, 3-2) had not lost a game by more than a touchdown since a 27-16 loss to Notre Dame in 2001, Pete Carroll’s first season as Trojans coach. It was USC’s worst lost since a 35-7 defeat to Arizona State on Oct. 11, 1997 and the most points allowed by the Trojans in Carroll’s tenure.

“It was a real mess for us tonight,” Carroll said. “Oregon did everything that they wanted to do.”

Oregon remained alone in first and undefeated in the Pac-10.

Oregon fans were decked out in special black “Fright Night” T-shirts with a duck-and-crossbones motif to commemorate the Halloween night game – billed as the Pac-10’s biggest game of the season. Afterward the fans swarmed the field.

It turned out to be a Fright Night for USC’s defense, which allowed 613 yards.

The Ducks have won seven consecutive games since an embarrassing 19-8 loss at Boise State in the opener, a game that got uglier when running back LeGarrette Blount punched a Broncos defensive end as he was leaving the field. Blount was suspended for the season.
