LOS ANGELES, Nov. 12 (UPI) -- Chauncey Washington rushed for 119 yards and three touchdowns, as seventh-ranked Southern California rolled to a 35-10 rout of No. 21 Oregon.
John David Booty completed 16-of-25 passes for 176 yards with a touchdown and was intercepted once for the Trojans (8-1, 6-1 Pac-10).
The win kept USC's national title hopes alive and set up a huge meeting with California at home next Saturday. The Golden Bears and Trojans are tied atop the Pac-10 , with USC vying for an unprecedented fifth straight conference championship.
USC also has Notre Dame and UCLA left on its regular season schedule, but may have to go without running back Emmanuel Moody, who suffered an ankle injury.
Steve Smith caught seven passes for 88 yards for USC, which extended its home winning streak to 31 games.
Dennis Dixon and Brady Leaf split the quarterbacking duties for the Ducks (7-3, 4-3), who had a two-game winning streak broken. Dixon connected on 15-of-23 passes for 130 yards, while Leaf was 14-of-23 for 104 yards with a TD. Dante Rosario had seven catches for 69 yards.
