The program is over

• The bar is set so high at Oregon these days that a 9-3 campaign would have been regarded as a full-on disaster for first-year coach Mark Helfrich. It was a very real possibility in Friday's back-and-forth shootout with rival Oregon State (6-6, 4-5 Pac-12). However, Ducks star Marcus Mariota shook off two early interceptions and led his team on a game-winning drive. He threw a 12-yard touchdown to Josh Huff (nine catches, 186 yards, three scores) to cap a 36-35 win with 29 seconds left.

• Washington running back Bishop Sankey broke Corey Dillon's school single-season rushing record on Saturday against Washington State. Sankey's total is now up to 1,775 thanks to a 34-carry, 200-yard performance in the Huskies' (8-4, 5-4) 27-17 Apple Cup victory over the Cougars (6-6, 4-5). While still a far cry from Don James' heyday, Steve Sarkisian's program finally hit the eight-win mark for the first time since 2001. "I'm just tired of answering questions about it, quite honestly," Sarkisian said of breaking the seven-win barrier.

The program "is" over? It's been over since June of 2003.
