Halloween Frights: Oregon was a nightmare for USC in 2009

On Oct. 31, 2009, the place to be in Eugene wasn't on the streets trick-or-treating. It was at Autzen Stadium, as the No. 10 Oregon Ducks terrorized the No. 5 USC Trojans on Halloween night. It was, and still is, one of the biggest wins in Ducks' history. A new era of Oregon football began that night, as the Ducks told the country "the Pac-10 is ours".

The Ducks finished that season with a 10-3 record, taking first place in the Pac-10. After a dominant conference-play performance, going 8-1, the Ducks finally ended the Trojans' seven-year reign over the Pac.
