CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) -- Jeremiah Masoli threw for 274 yards and three touchdowns and Oregon all but crushed Oregon State's hopes of going to the Rose Bowl with a 65-38 victory Saturday in the annual Civil War rivalry game.

A win would have sent the No. 17 Beavers (8-4, 7-2 Pacific-10 Conference) to Pasadena on New Year's Day for the first time since after the 1964 season.

Instead, Oregon State will have to wait to see if UCLA can upset No. 5 USC on Dec. 6. Should the Bruins win, the Beavers would share a three-way tie for the conference title with the Trojans and the Ducks, and Oregon State would have the tiebreaker for the Rose Bowl.

The No. 19 Ducks (9-3, 7-2) foiled the Beavers and their six-game overall winning streak as they avenged a Civil War loss last year at Oregon.

The loss snapped Oregon State's eight-game winning streak at Reser Stadium.

Oregon State was without freshman running back Jacquizz Rodgers, who leads the conference in rushing (averaging 113.9 yards a game) and is 12th in the nation.

Rodgers, known as Quizz, injured his shoulder early in Oregon State's 19-17 victory over Arizona last weekend. Without him, the Beavers' offense looked ordinary.

Quarterback Lyle Moevao, who sat out of the game against Arizona because of a shoulder injury, completed 27 of 51 passes for 374 yards and a career-high five touchdowns for the Beavers. He threw two interceptions.

Jeremiah Johnson ran for 219 yards and a score for the Ducks. Masoli, who completed 11 of 17 passes, also ran 53 yards for a score.

The Ducks jumped out in front on Masoli's 17-yard scoring pass to Jeff Maehl and Morgan Flint's 38-yard field goal.

Oregon State's Jeremy Francis caught a short pass from Moevao and then shook off two defenders as he rumbled into the end zone for a 20-yard scoring reception to make it 10-7.

But Oregon answered on the next series with LeGarrette Blount's 9-yard touchdown run. It was his 16th rushing TD this season, a new school record. Flint added 22-yard field goal to put Oregon ahead 20-7.

Justin Kahut missed a 21-yard field goal for the Beavers, but made a 24-yarder on the Oregon State's next series.

After Morgan Flint's 25-yeard field goal, Johnson ran 83 yards for a score and Walter Thurmond added a 40-yard interception return, making it 37-10 for the Ducks and utterly silencing Reser Stadium's record crowd of 46,319.

Johnson ran for 203 yards in the first half alone.

The Beavers scored on Moevao's 11-yard pass to Shane Morales with nine seconds left in the first half, then narrowed it to 37-24 on Moevao's 3-yard scoring pass to Joe Halahuni.

After Masoli had a 14-yard keeper for Oregon, Morales grabbed a 10-yard pass from Moevao.

Terence Scott ran a catch 76 yards for a score to make it 51-31 for Oregon to start the fourth quarter, but Moevao found Brady Camp with a 2-yard scoring pass with 8:34 left, making it 51-38.

Masoli hit Ed Dickson with a 45-yard scoring pass with just under four minutes left, then Oregon finished the Beavers off with Spencer Paysinger's 70-yard interception return for a touchdown.

The Ducks lead the series 56-46-10, but had not won in Corvallis since 1996. The 103 total points was a Civil War record.

Last season the Beavers snapped a 10-game winning streak for the home team in the series with a 38-31 victory in double overtime at Autzen Stadium.

Oregon lost 23-13 to the Beavers in the 2000 Civil War, which knocked the Ducks out of the Rose Bowl.

Tens of thousands gathered in Corvallis to watch the annual end-of-season rivalry between the Ducks and Beavers.

Both teams cracked the Top 25 the week before the game. The Ducks were hoping to play spoilers, while Beavers fans were excited -- and a bit terrified -- at the possibility of a trip to the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, Calif., for the first time in 44 years.

OSU hoped to secure a BCS bid and the Pac-10’s Rose Bowl berth with a victory over the Ducks.

The Rose Bowl had not so definitely been on the line in the Civil War since the 2000 season, when the No. 8 Beavers knocked the fifth-ranked Ducks out of the New Year's Day game in Pasadena with a 23-13 victory. Joey Harrington threw five interceptions in the game.

A look back the rivalry
The 112th Civil War game will be played in Corvallis this year.

There are many memorable moments -- some good, some bad -- in the rivalry that dates to 1894.

Oregon State, then Oregon Agricultural College, won the first one 16-0.

Key among them, from past to present:

Nov. 25, 1916 -- Oregon 27, Oregon Agricultural College 0. The win gave the Ducks a 6-0-1 regular-season record and sent them to their first Rose Bowl, in which they defeated Penn 14-0.

Nov. 11, 1933 -- Oregon 13, Oregon State 3. Oregon State's Ironmen and Oregon were undefeated heading into the game at Portland's Multnomah Stadium. The game is notable because of the so-called "Pyramid Play." An extra-point attempt by Oregon was blocked by Clyde Devine, who was lifted off the field by his teammates. The play was soon thereafter banned by the NCAA.

Nov. 21, 1953 -- Oregon State 7, Oregon 0. The Beavers stunned the Hayward Field crowd when Oregon quarterback Barney Holland's pass bounced off the hands of George Shaw -- the first pick of the 1955 NFL draft by the Baltimore Colts -- and was intercepted by Oregon State's Tommy Little and returned 30 yards for a TD.

Nov. 23, 1957 -- Oregon State 10, Oregon 7. On 4th-and-goal from the Oregon State 1-yard line, the Ducks decided against a potential game-tying field goal and went for the touchdown. Halfback Jim Shanley appeared headed for the end zone, but OSU's Nub Beamer, who had been blocked to the ground, reached up just as Shanley was about to cross the goal line and caused the most famous fumble in the series' history.

Nov. 24, 1962 -- Oregon State 20, Oregon 17. The Beavers and Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Terry Baker trailed 17-6 at halftime but dominated the second half. Baker's 13-yard touchdown pass to Danny Espalin in the fourth quarter sealed it.

Nov. 18, 1967 -- Oregon State 14, Oregon 10. A week after defeating USC and O.J. Simpson 3-0 in the mud in Corvallis, the Beavers' famous "Giant Killers" team came back from a 10-0 deficit to win the first Civil War at the new Autzen Stadium.

Nov. 19, 1983 -- Oregon 0, Oregon State 0. The so-called "Toilet Bowl," which featured 11 fumbles, five interceptions and four missed field goals. "It was almost like neither team wanted to win," Oregon coach Rich Brooks was quoted as saying.

Nov. 23, 1991 -- Oregon State 14, Oregon 3. Jerry Pettibone got his only win after 10 straight losses in his first season as Beavers coach when quarterback Ian Shields, playing with a broken big toe, scored on a 6-yard bootleg for the go-ahead touchdown. It was Oregon State's first win in Eugene in 18 years.

Nov. 19, 1994 -- Oregon 17, Oregon State 13. The Ducks entered the game tied with Southern California for the Pac-10 championship and needed a win to clinch their first Rose Bowl berth since 1957. Trailing 13-10, quarterback Danny O'Neil drove the team 70 yards, hitting Dino Philyaw for a 19-yard touchdown with 3:47 to play. The Ducks go to Pasadena, where they lose 38-20 to Penn State.

Nov. 21, 1998 -- Oregon State 44, Oregon 41, 2OT. The first-ever Civil War to be decided in overtime was won on Ken Simonton's 16-yard run into the end zone. Considered by many to be one of the most memorable Civil Wars.

Last season the Beavers defeated Ducks 38-31 in double overtime at Autzen Stadium, snapping a 10-game winning streak for the home team. Tied at 28 at the end of regulation, the two teams traded field goals in the first overtime before James Rodgers scored on a 25-yard run in the second to win it.
