Washington 42, Oregon 14

EUGENE, Ore., Nov. 16 (UPI) -- Cody Pickett became the Pac-10 Conference's all-time leading passer and Reggie Williams had a school-record 14 catches and three touchdowns Saturday as Washington scored six unanswered touchdowns for a 42-14 victory over No. 22 Oregon.

Oregon safety Keith Lewis fueled one of the Pac-10's biggest rivalries during the week when he called Pickett and the Huskies "overrated."

Pickett threw for 316 yards and four touchdowns and has 3,818 career passing yards, breaking the previous record of Washington State's Ryan Leaf, who had 3,637.

Williams was Pickett's favorite target with 198 yards and put away the game with a pair of exciting touchdown catches in the fourth quarter. On those receptions, Williams caught short passes over the middle before cutting to his right the first time and his left the second for scores of 47 and 41 yards.

The Ducks (7-4, 3-2 Pac-10) built a 14-0 lead in the first quarter on two touchdown passes by Jason Fife before the Huskies got on the board on a five-yard run by Rich Alexis. Pickett hit Williams for a 23-yard touchdown for a 14-14 tie at halftime.

Alexis added a touchdown run in the third that gave Washington (6-5, 3-4) the lead for good and Pickett found Patrick Reddick for a six-yard touchdown to make it 28-14.

Oregon suffered its third loss at home this season, disappointing an Autzen Stadium record crowd of 57,112 fans who braved cold, wet weather.
