EL PASO, Texas, Dec. 31 (UPI) -- Junior Jonathan Stewart rushed for a career-high 253 yards and scored two touchdowns Monday in Oregon's 56-21 Sun Bowl victory over South Florida.

Stewart rushed for a 41-yard TD and caught an eight-yard scoring pass.

Justin Roper, playing for the injured Dennis Dixon, completed 17 of 30 passes for 180 yards and four touchdowns for the Ducks (9-4), who racked up 534 yards of total offense.

Walter Thurmond and Michael DiVincenzo also returned interceptions for touchdowns in the win.

Matt Grothe completed 18 of 35 passes for 197 yards and a score for the Bulls (9-4), but was intercepted twice. He was relieved in the fourth quarter by Grant Gregory, who threw a pair of picks to outweigh his one touchdown pass and 39 yards.

The nine wins the Bulls accumulated this season tied for the most in the program's 11-year history.
