NO. 6 OREGON 26,

WASHINGTON 14

SEATTLE -- Malik Benson had a season-long 64-yard touchdown catch with 7:55 to go in regulation and sixth-ranked Oregon beat Washington to all but cement a spot in the College Football Playoff.

The wide receiver caught a pass from Dante Moore around midfield, split two Huskies defenders and raced to the end zone to give Oregon (11-1, 8-1) a 26-14 lead.

Demond Williams Jr. threw a 13-yard touchdown pass to Denzel Boston with 8:54 remaining in the fourth quarter to cut the deficit for Washington (8-4, 5-4) to 19-14. But the Ducks responded quickly with Benson's catch-and-run.

Aside from the fourth quarter, it was an offensively challenged game on a cool fall day in the Pacific Northwest.

Oregon's Atticus Sappington made four field goals, one from a career-long 51 yards. Sappington got the Ducks on the board with a 46-yard field goal to cap Oregon's first drive of the game, and he converted another kick with 3:18 to go before halftime. Those kicks sandwiched Moore's 1-yard touchdown run in the second quarter.

Moore completed 20 of 29 passes for 286 yards.

Sappington added two more kicks in the second half, including a 37-yarder on Oregon's first drive of the third quarter and the 51-yarder on the Ducks' ensuing drive. Sappington's previous career-long of 48 yards came on Sept. 16, 2023, when he was kicking at Oregon State.
