It Happened Against Oregon
1969 - Stanford defeated Oregon, 28-0, marking Stanford's first shutout victory over the Ducks since 1953.
 
1980 - After missing the entire 1979 season with a hamstring injury, Darrin Nelson returned for action for the first time in 21 months and rushed for 122 yards in Stanford's 35-25 victory over the Ducks. The game also marked the head coaching debut of Paul Wiggin.
 
1981 - Darrin Nelson broke Tony Dorsett's NCAA career record for all-purpose yardage in a 42-3 victory over the Ducks at Stanford Stadium. Nelson would finish his brilliant career with 7,120 all-purpose yards, a mark that still ranks first on the school's all-time career charts.
 
1985 - John Paye completed 31 of 47 passes for 408 yards - including three touchdowns - but Stanford dropped a 45-28 decision in Eugene. The passing yardage ranked as the sixth highest single-game total in Stanford history and is the highest single-game mark by a Stanford quarterback against Oregon. Brad Muster hauled down 14 of Paye's passes to tie the school's single-game record for receptions.
 
1986 - Brad Muster ran for 151 yards on 25 carries in helping Stanford to a 41-7 victory in Eugene, the most rushing yards ever by a Stanford back against Oregon. Thomas Henley returned an Oregon punt 92 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter, marking the longest punt return for a touchdown in school history.
 
1987 - Trailing 10-5 with 3:36 left in the game, Stanford marched 68 yards on 12 plays, capped off by Brad Muster's three-yard touchdown run as the Cardinal rallied for a 13-10 victory at Stanford Stadium.
 
1989 - Stanford scored 18 points in the final period, capped off by a game-winning, 37-yard field goal by John Hopkins as time expired to give the Cardinal an 18-17 victory.
 


1992 - Head coach Bill Walsh made his Stanford Stadium debut in his second stint as Stanford's head coach as the Cardinal posted a 21-7 victory over the Ducks.
 
1993 - Steve Stenstrom threw for 407 yards and three touchdowns in Stanford's 38-34 victory over the Ducks at Autzen Stadium. The numbers brought Stenstrom's single-season passing yardage to 3,281, breaking the Pac-10 and school record of 3,242 set by John Elway in 1982.
 
1995 - Marlon Evans returned an Oregon kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown in the third quarter to give Stanford a 21-14 lead as the Cardinal survived to defeat the 12th-ranked Ducks, 28-21, at Autzen Stadium.

2001 - Kerry Carter tied a school record by rushing for four scores as the Cardinal rallied from two touchdowns down in the second half to stun the fifth-ranked Ducks in Eugene, 49-42. It was Oregon's only loss on the season.

2010 - No. 4 Oregon overcome a 31-24 halftime deficit and blanked the ninth-ranked Cardinal in the second half while posting a 52-31 win in Eugene. It was the first time Oregon and Stanford faced each other as ranked teams. The game lived up to the hype as a battle of offenses as Oregon, averaging 560 yards of total offense going into the game, had 626 yards compared to the Cardinal's 518.
 
2011 - Andrew Luck threw three touchdowns but was intercepted twice and lost a fumble in a 53-30 loss to sixth-ranked Oregon at Stanford Stadium, ending third-ranked Stanford's nation-best 17-game winning streak.
 
2012 - Jordan Williamson hit a 37-yard field goal in overtime as Stanford upset No. 1 Oregon, 17-14, denying the Ducks a chance to clinch the Pac-12 North and derailing their straight shot at the BCS title game. The loss snapped a 13-game winning streak for the Ducks, the longest in the nation. Kevin Hogan threw for 211 yards and a game-tying fourth-quarter touchdown for Stanford, while Stepfan Taylor rushed for 161 yards on 33 carries. Down 14-7, Hogan hit Zach Ertz with a 10-yard scoring pass to tie it at 14 with 1:35 to go. Ertz fought to gain control of the ball with a defender as he fell to the turf on top of a Ducks player. The play was initially ruled incomplete, but a video review overturned it for the game-tying touchdown.

 
2013 - Stanford jumped out to a 26-0 lead behind the efforts of Tyler Gaffney who compiled 157 yards rushing and one touchdown on a school-record 45 carries.

The Ducks saved all their scoring for late in the fourth quarter, tallying three touchdowns in eight minutes when quarterback Marcus Mariota threw two touchdown passes and linebacker Rodney Hardrick took Stanford's blocked field goal attempt to the house. Jeff Trojan recovered Oregon's third onside kick of the quarter, allowing the Cardinal to run out the clock and earn the 26-20 win over second-ranked Oregon.


2014 - Fifth-ranked Oregon snapped a two-game losing streak to the Cardinal with a 45-16 victory. Mariota threw for 258 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two more scores for Oregon. Stanford's defense had not allowed an opponent more than 30 points in a string of 31 games, the longest streak in the nation. The Cardinal had allowed just four total rushing touchdowns through the season's first eight games; Oregon finished with four. 
 
2015 - When it came down to it, two botched snaps and a failed two-point conversion spoiled the Cardinal's playoff hopes as Oregon received a late two-point stop to beat Stanford, 38-36. In a game dominated by offenses that combined for more than 900 yards, it was a defensive stop on the two-point attempt with 10 seconds left that sealed the win for Oregon. Kevin Hogan threw for 304 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another score. Christian McCaffrey set a Stanford record with his eighth straight 100-yard rushing game, running for 147 yards and a touchdown.
