No. 2 Oregon 62, Washington State 38: Sophomore Byron Marshall rushed for career highs of 192 yards and three touchdowns as the host Ducks overcame a record-setting performance by Connor Halliday to defeat the Cougars for the seventh straight time.

Heisman Trophy favorite Marcus Mariota passed for two touchdowns and ran for another - the ninth consecutive game he has passed and rushed for a score - and was 23-of-32 for 327 yards for Oregon (7-0, 4-0 Pac-12). Thomas Tyner rushed for a pair of scores as the Ducks outgained the Cougars on the ground 383-2.

Halliday tied an FBS record with 58 completions and set an FCS standard with 89 attempts for a school-record 557 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions for Washington State (4-4, 2-3). Gabe Marks caught 13 passes for 143 yards and a TD.

The Ducks, who racked up 483 yards in the first half, led 27-7 after Tyner's 1-yard run 1:39 into the second quarter before a pair of Mariota fumbles and one by Marshall helped the Cougars close to within 34-24 at halftime. Halliday was 27-of-43 for 319 yards while completing a pass to 10 different receivers in the first half.

Oregon scored on its first two possessions of the second half - a 10-yard reception by Keanon Lowe and a 30-yard run by Marshall. The Ducks reached 50 points for the sixth time in seven games on Mariota's 17-yard TD pass to Josh Huff and Terrance Mitchell's 51-yard interception return made it 62-24 with 13:01 left.

GAME NOTEBOOK: Oregon, which had 244 yards in the first quarter, scored seven of its eight offensive touchdowns on drives of two minutes or less and has scored 40 of its 53 within that time this season. ... Mariota, who completed a pass to eight different receivers, has thrown a TD pass in all 20 career games. ... Purdue's Drew Brees held the old record for attempts when he was 55-of-83 for 494 yards with two touchdowns and four interceptions in a 31-24 loss at Wisconsin on Oct. 10, 1998, while Eastern Michigan's Andy Schmitt was 58-of-80 for 516 yards with five TDs and one interception in a 56-52 victory over Central Michigan on Nov. 28, 2008.
