BYU Routs Oregon in Las Vegas Bowl
John Beck passed for 375 yards and two touchdowns, leading the No. 19 Cougars to a 38-8 victory over Oregon on Thursday night in the Las Vegas Bowl.
Beck was 28-for-46 with two interceptions, and got plenty of help. Curtis Brown ran for 120 yards and two TDs, Jonny Harline, voted game MVP, caught nine passes for 181 yards and Justin Robinson intercepted two passes for BYU, which shut out the Ducks (7-6) through three quarters.
BYU (11-2) closed the season with 10 straight victories, capping the streak with its first bowl win since the 1996 season. This was the Cougars first winning season since 2001.
Oregon lost its fourth in a row and was never close after BYU scored 17 points in the second quarter. The Ducks had just 120 yards of offense through three quarters and didn’t score until Brian Paysinger caught a 47-yard pass from Dennis Dixon with 10:27 left in the game.
