UCLA vs. Oregon: Final Score and Highlights from the Pac-12 Title Game

While the 30-point spread had most thinking the Pac-12's inaugural championship game would be disastrous, 6-6 UCLA came to play in Rick Neuheisel's final game as coach of the Bruins. Ultimately, the speed of Oregon was too much to overcome, as the Ducks broke the game open in the third quarter and never looked back.

Oregon clinched their third consecutive Pac-12 title, they were rewarded with a return to the Rose Bowl for the second time in three years. UCLA, despite a 6-7 record, was granted a waiver to participate in a bowl game, but will do so with an interim coach should they be selected.
