• ROSE BOWL

Oregon's incredible offense busted up Wisconsin and the record books on the way to the Ducks' first Rose Bowl victory in 95 years.

Darron Thomas passed for three touchdowns, De'Anthony Thomas scored on runs of 91 and 64 yards, and the No. 6 Ducks earned their first bowl victory under coach Chip Kelly, holding off Wisconsin 45-38 Monday night in the highest-scoring Rose Bowl ever played.

And it wasn't over until a video review confirmed the Badgers (11-3) ran out of time at the Oregon 25, out of timeouts and unable to spike the ball in time to stop the clock for a last-gasp fling.

Lavasier Tuinei caught eight passes for 158 yards and two TDs for the Ducks (12-2), who had no postseason success to show for Kelly's otherwise wildly successful three-year tenure until this landmark offensive performance in the 98th Rose Bowl. Oregon hadn't won the West Coast's biggest game since 1917.

"It's been 95 years since you could say: Oregon Ducks, Rose Bowl champions," Kelly said after the Ducks held Wisconsin scoreless in the fourth quarter.

The Granddaddy of Them All had never seen this many points, beating the record 80 scored by Washington and Iowa in 1991.

With the Ducks wearing mirrored helmets and playing at their usual frantic pace, Oregon racked up 621 total yards, just shy of the Rose Bowl record.

Lake City High graduates Carson York and Brandon Hanna participated in the game for Oregon. York's right knee was injured in the third quarter and he was carted off the field. No update on his condition was available at press time.

"It almost felt like there was some sort of magical force keeping us from getting it done in bowl games," York said after rejoining his team to celebrate. "Glad we did it today."

Montee Ball rushed for 122 of his 164 yards in the first half for the Badgers (11-3), who lost the Rose Bowl for the second straight year despite managing 508 yards of their own. Ball tied Barry Sanders' FBS record with his 39th touchdown of the season, while Russell Wilson passed for 296 yards and two scores.

• CAPITAL ONE BOWL

No. 10 South Carolina 30, No. 21 Nebraska 13: At Orlando, Fla., Alshon Jeffery had 148 yards and a touchdown before getting tossed out of the game for fighting and South Carolina's (11-2) defense had six sacks and shut out Nebraska (9-2) in the final three quarters.

• GATOR BOWL

Florida 24, Ohio State 17: At Jacksonville, Fla., Florida's special teams came up big, scoring twice as the Gators (7-6) beat Ohio State (6-7) in a game between Urban Meyer's old team and his future one.

• TICKET CITY BOWL

No. 20 Houston 30, No. 24 Penn St. 14: At Dallas, Penn State's tumultuous year ended with a loss to Houston (13-1), a dispiriting finish to a season in which coach Joe Paterno was fired as part of a child sex-abuse scandal that shook college sports.

The 24th-ranked Nittany Lions (9-4) were picked apart by Cougars star Case Keenum, who threw for 532 yards and three touchdowns. Penn State was allowing 162 yards passing per game, but Keenum threw for more than double that by halftime.
