“A nine-win season — there have not been a lot of those in Oregon football history, ” former Oregon head coach Rich Brooks said after the game. “I think this team has etched itself into the history books at the University of Oregon.”
With 3:57 left in the game and Oregon down, 13-10, the Ducks faced a 3rd-and-7 on the Beavers’ 36-yard line. The Ducks moved up the field to the Beaver 19-yard line, where quarterback Danny O’Neil hit tailback Dino Philyaw, who went untouched for his second touchdown on the day. It was a come-from-behind victory that propelled the team into the Rose Bowl.
“I have been waiting for this opportunity all year,” Philyaw said. “To make the winning touchdown and to make a difference. Fortunately, it came in the biggest game of the year.”

1998: Oregon State 44,

Oregon 41
No. 15 Oregon traveled to Parker Stadium against a Beaver team that had not beaten Oregon since 1993. The 4-6 Beavers squared off against the 8-2 Ducks in a game that featured a two-overtime thriller.
Oregon State fans rushed the field in the first overtime assuming Oregon State had won the game, when on a 4th-and-12 from the 27-yard line, an Akili Smith pass to Tony Hartley was incomplete.
Fans had to be removed from the field as officials flagged Oregon State for pass interference. Oregon then was able to find the end zone and sent the game into a second overtime with the game tied, 38-38.
Oregon stalled there, but another pass interference call led to Oregon completing five-straight passes. The Ducks, however, settled for a field goal.
Oregon State received the ball on the second play and the Beavers’ Ken Simonton ran 16 yards for the game-clinching touchdown.
The fans, this time, were allowed to rush the field and stay.
