EUGENE, Ore. -- Stanford quarterback Keller Chryst finally found a groove for his third start.The junior quarterback, who took over for Ryan Burns at the end of last month, threw for 258 yards and three touchdowns in Stanfords 52-27 victory over Oregon on Saturday.You saw Keller just finally get comfortable, Stanford coach David Shaw said. He got comfortable, the ball was coming out of his hands on time, and he hit some big-time throws.Stanford (7-3, 5-3 Pac-12) is 3-0 now with Chryst at quarterback. His breakout -- along with Christian McCaffreys big day -- provided some offensive equilibrium for the Cardinal, Shaw said. McCaffrey ran for 135 yards and three touchdowns.We talked at length about balancing out the offense. The first two weeks with Keller as the starter we knew he was trying to get comfortable so we wanted to really dedicate ourselves to running the football, Shaw said. This game we wanted to be more balanced.The loss means that Oregon (3-7, 1-6) will finish with a losing record for the first time since 2004. It also effectively knocked the Ducks out of contention for a bowl game with two games left.We just got outplayed, offensive lineman Cameron Hunt said.The game did not carry the implications that many thought it might have at the start of the season.

This season, Washington and Washington State are undefeated in conference play at sit atop the leagues North division.McCaffrey ran for a 61-yard touchdown to put Stanford up early. After Oregon lost the ball on a fumble, McCaffrey scored again on a 5-yard TD run. Last seasons Heisman runner-up needed just 20 yards rushing going into the game to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight season.I was patient, patient and then when I saw the hole, there was a lot of green grass ahead of me, McCaffrey said about his long opening touchdown run.McCaffrey, who also scored on a 14-yard run in the first half, had struggled this season and sat out of the game against Notre Dame because of an injury. But he looked to regain his form last weekend with 199 yards rushing in a 26-15 victory over Oregon State.McCaffrey also caught five passes for 52 yards against Oregon.Oregon freshman quarterback Justin Herbert, who started his fifth game after taking over for graduate transfer Dakota Prukop, threw for 272 yards and two touchdowns. But he also threw two interceptions.Royce Freeman ran for 111 yards and a touchdown for Oregon. The Ducks main problems were on defense, allowing Stanford 540 yards of total offense. It was the first time this season the Cardinal had 250 or more yards both via pass and on the ground this season.Kani Benoits 7-yard touchdown run for Oregon in the final quarter made it 52-20 and allowed the Ducks to preserve their streak of games with 20 or more points to 40, the longest active streak in the nation.Asked what he would like to see from his players in the final two games, Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said: Find out who rises up.
