BERKELEY, Calif., Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Joey Harrington helped sixth-ranked Oregon to its best start in 37 years while sending California to the worst start in school history Saturday, running for a touchdown and throwing for two more to give the Ducks a 48-7 victory over the winless Bears.
Led by Harrington, Oregon (6-0, 3-0 Pac-10) has won its first six games for the first time since 1964. The Ducks' last 7-0 start was 68 years ago.
Harrington did nothing to hurt his Heisman Trophy chances, completing 13 of 20 passes for 181 yards and carrying six times for 56 yards. He sparked a 21-point first quarter with a one-yard touchdown run and a 37-yard scoring strike to Samie Parker. The 6-4 senior also hit tight end Justin Peelle for a 16-yard touchdown that extended Oregon's lead to 28-0 at halftime.
Maurice Morris rushed for 81 yards and two touchdowns for the Ducks, who forced five turnovers and posted their sixth consecutive win in the series.
California (0-5, 0-3) was kept out of the end zone until Kyle Boller threw a six-yard toss to running back Joe Igber 95 seconds into the fourth quarter. But Boller was just 18 of 40 for 171 yards and an interception. Californis has played two games of a three-game stretch against top-10 opponents.
