EUGENE - In the days leading up to the most one-sided result in Civil War football history, Oregon State broke its huddle with a consistent mantra.
"F--- the Ducks."
The Beavers ended practice with it and again repeated the phrase upon their Saturday arrival at Autzen Stadium. The day concluded with a 69-10 defeat, besting the 44-point margin that had previously marked the largest differential in the rivalry's 121-game history.
The refrain was used as a motivator to conclude a season that ended 1-11, marking the second time in three years OSU went winless (0-9) in Pac-12 play.
