No. 9 USC (6-1) at No. 5 Oregon (6-1) 3:00 pm EDT


EUGENE, Oregon (Ticker) -- Southern California had no problemshutting down Notre Dame last week. Containing Dennis Dixon andOregon this week will be a whole other matter.


Dixon and the fifth-ranked Ducks hope to blow past theninth-ranked Trojans when they meet in a key Pac-10 Conferencegame on Saturday.


Oregon ranks second nationally in both scoring (46.57 points pergame) and total offense (550.86 yards). The focal point of theoffense is Dixon, a dual-threat quarterback who ranks fourth inthe country in passing efficiency (165.81).


The Ducks (6-1, 3-1 Pac-10), who have scored 108 points the pasttwo weeks, are coming off a 55-34 road win over Washington inwhich they ran for a school-record 465 yards and six touchdownson 62 carries.


Jonathan Stewart paced Oregon's ground attack with a career-best251 yards and two touchdowns.


Andre Crenshaw added 113 yards and two TDs and Dixon had 99yards and a score to go with his 196 passing yards and a TD forthe Ducks, who were edged at home by California three weeks ago,31-24.


USC (6-1, 3-1), which like Oregon is a game behind Arizona Stateand UCLA in the Pac-10, crushed hapless Notre Dame in SouthBend, 38-0.


With John David Booty sidelined by a broken finger for a secondstraight week, Mark Sanchez tossed four TDs for the Trojans, wholimited the Fighting Irish to just 165 total yards - 48 on theground.


The Trojans have won three straight in the series after droppingthe previous four meetings. Last year, USC cruised to a 35-10home win.
