Ducks Stomp On Wildcats

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) - Fifth-ranked Oregon showcased its high-octane offense Thursday night while silencing Heisman Trophy finalist Collin Klein.

DeAnthony Thomas scored a pair of first-quarter touchdowns and the Ducks never trailed in a 35-17 win over seventh-ranked Kansas State. Thomas returned the opening kickoff 94 yards for a TD before grabbing a 23-yard scoring pass from Marcus Mariota.
The Wildcats got within 15-10 before Mariota hit Kenjon Barner for a 24-yard touchdown just before halftime.
Barner ran for 143 yards on 30 carries as the Ducks finished 12-1 while dropping K-State to 11-2.
Klein threw for a touchdown but was just 17-of-32 for 151 yards and two interceptions.
