SALT LAKE CITY -- Oregon has represented a bit of a benchmark for No. 11 Utah since the Utes entered the Pac-12 in 2011.The Ducks won the conference three straight times between 2009 and 2011 and again in 2014.They were the reigning champions last year when Utah went into Eugene and upset Oregon 62-20 for its most significant win since joining the league.Now the Ducks (3-7, 1-6 Pac-12) are in the midst of their worst season since 2006 and the Utes are approaching another milestone. Utah (8-2, 5-2, No. 12 CFP) will win the South Division for the first time in school history and play in its first Pac-12 championship game if it wins the final two games of the season, starting Saturday with Oregon.Theres not a chance that well be looking past those guys, Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. Not a chance at all. Theyre very talented on offense. I mean, theyre Oregon.Theyre going to be wanting to avenge that loss, he added. We went into their house and had a big win. Certainly thats got to be on their mind. ... Were going to get their best shot. We know that and we better be ready.In a role reversal, Oregon is coming in as an underdog. The Ducks are coming to the end of a disappointing season where even winning out would leave them shy of bowl eligibility.The Utes are 13 +-point favorites and some Ducks assistant coaches have talked about using that as motivation.I havent directly said `underdog or really anything in that vein, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said. Again, we just need to play together and play better. Play the complimentary football we talked a little bit about over the weekend. But whatever can stoke their fire. If that gets the defensive backs ready to go, or gets the defense to play with a chip on their shoulder, great.Things to watch when Utah hosts Oregon:EYES ON FREEMAN: Royce Freeman comes into Salt Lake City as the Ducks No. 2 all-time leading rusher with 3,800 career yards. The junior has run for 599 yards and eight touchdowns this season. He and the Oregon offense will face the No. 2 run defense in the Pac-12. The Utes are allowing just 119.7 yards per game.NO CONCERNS: Oregon quarterback Justin Herbert said the offense doesnt need to do anything special this week against the Utah defense dubbed Sack Lake City. That unit had 11 sacks last week and the Utes are tied for No. 5 in the nation with 35 sacks overall. Defensive end Hunter Dimicks 27 career sacks are one shy of the school record. I dont think Im going to have to be any more aware of them than I am every other week, Herbert said. I dont think its something we need to change dramatically.CUP OF JOE: Utah running back Joe Williams has run for 939 yards in just six games, including 864 yards in the four games since he came out of retirement. He is 61 yards shy of becoming the 13th player in school history to run for 1,000 yards in a season and his 156.5 yards per game put him on pace for a school record.DOUBT: Despite all of the past Oregon success and highly ranked recruiting classes, a 1-6 conference record has taken a toll. Theres certain fragments of guys that you can see arent 100 percent confident, Helfrich said. You cant fake that (confidence). You cant simulate that. The only way that happens is in training, and getting your confidence through true preparation, seeing yourself do it, seeing your teammates doing it and then just repeating it.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25---Follow Kareem Copeland on Twitter at www.twitter.com/kareemcopeland .

Authentic Breeland Speaks Jersey . -- The Portland Timbers and Real Salt Lake played to a 0-0 tie Saturday night that left the top of the Western Conference standings unchanged. ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- Teriyon Gipson ran for a career-best 217 yards and two touchdowns and Richard McQuarley had three touchdowns and 121 yards, leading a New Mexico rushing onslaught Saturday for a 56-35 win over Wyoming.Lobos quarterback Lamar Jordan also had a career-best with 176 yards on the ground, and threw for 122 yards.Brian Hill ran for 126 yards and three touchdowns for Wyoming (8-4, 6-2 Mountain West).But New Mexico (8-4, 6-2) could not be stopped on the ground with 568 yards rushing, the most Wyoming has ever permitted.Against a team representing our division in the championship game next week, a team that is very well coached on defense, without a doubt, you cant play much better than that, Lobos coach Bob Davie said.The Lobos scored their first three possessions, taking just 12 total plays in building a 21-0 lead, a deficit from which Wyoming never recovered.It was a rough night, said Wyoming coach Craig Bohl. I think we really need to give credit to New Mexico. They finished off on a high note. In particular, their offense was more troublesome than what we anticipated. Their numbers were true (Saturday). The speed of the game, we could never get caught up to that. Obviously it was something we need to prepare better for and we will.The Lobos didnt attempt their first pass until three minutes into the second quarter. They had already rolled up 262 rushing yards by that point.THE TAKEAWAY: New Mexico entered the game leading the country in rushing with 342 yards a game, but what it did to the Cowboys was downright ridiculous, reeling off 428 yards -- in the first half. The Lobos had 10 rushing plays of 20 or more yards -- in the first half.It was a ton of big plays, Bohl said. It was an abysmal defensive performance; Im not going to sugar coat it.New Mexico finished with 568 rushing yards and 690 yards of tootal offense.dddddddddddd dont think you can ask for much more offensively, Davie said. As we continue to go, weve got a pretty good answer for certain things.The Cowboys lost two of their final three games, sandwiching a win over then-No. 24 San Diego State between road losses to UNLV and the Lobos. Wyoming, New Mexico and Boise State tied for the lead of the conferences Mountain Division, but the Cowboys get the championship berth based on tiebreakers.STATS: With three touchdowns, McQuarley has 16 on the season, second most in school history.New Mexicos eight regular-season wins are its most since winning eight in 2007.Its a lot better waiting when you have eight wins, being 8-4, waiting to hear where were going to go, Davie said.UP NEXT: Although the Lobos have the possibility of going to one of several different bowl games, New Mexico coach Bob Davie has already lobbied for a berth in the hometown New Mexico Bowl.Id probably like to play in the New Mexico Bowl, he said at his weekly news conference. The thought of, if were bowl-eligible, somebody else playing in our stadium, somebody else using our locker room. ... I think the chance to play at home and win a game here, win a bowl game here (is preferable to going elsewhere).The Cowboys next play San Diego State in Saturdays conference championship game at a site still to be determined. Wyoming just beat the Aztecs 34-33 on Nov. 19.We didnt get it done and we need to get ready to play San Diego State in a short amount of time, Bohl said. What we have to do is get ready for an offense that is 180 degrees different and lick our wounds, well learn from this and move forward. Were playing for a championship and thats why we have to bounce back.
