EUGENE, Ore. — As the T-shirts worn in Oregon's student section proclaimed, it was Fright Night at Autzen Stadium.

It certainly was for USC.

Jeremiah Masoli threw for 222 yards and a touchdown and ran for 164 more yards with another score and the 10th-ranked Ducks trampled No. 4 Southern California, 47-20, last night, the Trojans' worst loss since 1997.

"I don't know if we made a statement, this is just what we planned on doing," said Masoli, a Saint Louis Schools alum. "If it makes a statement it makes a statement. That's just Oregon football and how we roll."

Redshirt freshman LaMichael James ran for 183 yards and a score as the Ducks (7-1, 5-0 Pac-10) racked up 391 yards on the ground against the Trojans, who came into the game with the fifth-best rush defense in the nation (79.9 yards a game).

USC's defense yielded a total of 613 yards to Oregon.

"It was a real mess for us tonight," said Pete Carroll, who was handed his worst loss as coach of the Trojans. "Oregon did everything that they wanted to do."

Southern California (6-2, 3-2) had not lost a game by more than a touchdown since a 27-16 loss to Notre Dame in 2001, Carroll's first season with USC. The last time the Trojans were so soundly beaten was 1997, when they lost 35-7 to Arizona State and 27-0 to Washington.

Oregon remained alone in first and undefeated in the Pac-10. USC has won or shared the last seven Pac-10 titles. That streak is in serious jeopardy. The Trojans' run of seven straight BCS games is also in danger.

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.
