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. Neither team was ranked for the first time since the 2008 meeting.Either Stanford or Oregon had won every Pac-12 championship since the league expanded and a title game was established in 2011. 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. Find out what were made of. Obviously, you play to win every single game, every single rep, whatever you are doing, if you are a competitor.THE TAKEAWAYStanford: The Cardinal averaged just 20 points a game this season before Saturdays win. ... Linebacker Joey Alfieri, an Oregon native, intercepted a first-half Herbert pass to Tony Brooks-James, for his first career interception.Oregon: Oregon fell behind 21-0 in the first half for the third time in the last five games. ... The Ducks have lost seven of their last eight games. ... I apologize to them for how we finished out the home slate, Helfrich said in a message to fans following the game.INJURIES: The Ducks were again without receiver Dwayne Stanford, who has missed five games. CSNNW.com reported before the game that Stanford was out for the rest of the season. ... Senior safety Reggie Daniels was listed on the depth chart but also in street clothes. ... Following the game Helfrich said that running back Taj Griffin was out for the season because of a non-contact injury he sustained in practice this week. ... Senior receiver Pharaoh Brown left the game with what appeared to be a hamstring injury.On Stanfords side, wide receiver Francis Owuso and safety Zach Hoffpauir did not play because of injuries. ... Defensive end Solomon Thomas appeared to injure his ankle in the first half. Shaw said afterward he was cleared to go back in the game but didnt because of the score.QUOTABLE: Hes the tone setter. Hes the guy that we have that the other teams dont have. And if we give him an opportunity to make plays, he never disappoints, Shaw said of McCaffrey.UP NEXTStanford: The Cardinal visit California for the Big Game before finishing the season at home against Rice.Oregon: The Ducks visit Utah next Saturday before finishing up with rival Oregon State to the north in Corvallis.

For secretive F1 teams, the expansion of radio communication is a pain in the aural canal. It is vital in respect of keeping their driver running at his most efficient and effective but it is also a bit of a giveaway when it comes to revealing the extent of any problem. At the end of the day, they will only let us hear as little as they can get away with.Can you imagine what it would be like if all chat was unfettered by privacy and we could hear every word of it? That was the potentially happy state of F1 audio in the mid-1980s when the plug-in umbilical chord linking engineer to car and driver gave way to radio transmission. The difficulty was finding a means of eavesdropping without alerting the parties involved.Discussing this problem with a mate in the pub -- as you do -- he happened to mention a bloke who was into plane spotting at Heathrow and seemed able to listen in to air traffic control. A phone call later and I was introduced to the benefit of the scanner.This may seem obvious now but, back in the day, scanners were as alien to me as a Harrods tea hamper would be to Kimi R?ikk?nen. You could find one if you searched hard enough but they were prohibitively expensive in the UK. The answer, my new-found friend informed me, was to source a scanner in the United States.By good fortune, the Detroit Grand Prix was next on the calendar. Within an hour of arrival, I was choosing my secret weapon in the local Radio Shack store. That was the easy bit. Now I had to discover the frequencies used by the teams. I couldnt give the game away by either asking outright or waving this black box and aerial around in the pit lane.By another piece of good fortune, the answer was provided by my hotel being the towering Renaissance Centre overlooking the pits. For first free practice in 1987, I sat in my room while the scanner did its work, flicking back and forth at a huge rate of knots through the wave band.It was not going to be the work of a moment because the engineer or driver needed to be speaking as the scanner was halted by the sound of activity on that particular frequency. I became familiar with the activities of security personnel, catering staff and one particularly voluble lady ordering cab drivers around the city. At least, I think thats what she was doing since her short, sharp barking of colloquialisms was totally unintelligible. This continued for at least half an hour. Practice was cracking on and, being away from the media centre, I had no idea what was happening on track.Suddenly, clear as day, the authoritive voice of Peter Warr boomed around the bedroom: Okay Ayrton, lets try the Bs. That might help the understeer.dddddddddddd. Hallelujah! Warr and I were not always the best of friends but Id never been so happy to hear either the voice of the Lotus boss or his mundane reference to a Goodyear tyre compound. We were in!I locked in the Lotus frequency and let the scanner continue its search. Over the space of two practice sessions, I gradually caught a few more big fish in the audio net. A few races later and I had all the top teams. I was now well informed, with the proviso that I could not show my hand by printing anything of a very private or personal nature in my newspaper. But at least I had a decent idea of what was going on and could avoid looking an idiot by making wrong assumptions. This happy state of affairs would continue for a few years until other reporters cottoned on to the scanner ploy and the teams, listening to each other in any case, began to encrypt their messages.Nigel Mansell would be a constant source of entertainment with his constant chatter, particularly during the races when, if everything was going well, he would actually sing to the Williams crew. During qualifying at Suzuka in 1987, I was startled to hear a very strange sound on the Williams frequency. It turned out Nigel had spun off and caused the back injury that would put him out of the championship, the curious noise being a low moan as, strangely, he kept his thumb on the radio button in the aftermath of the shunt.The funniest moment came right at the start of practice for the 1989 British Grand Prix. Derek Warwick had failed to appear at the end of his installation lap with the Arrows.Where are you Derek? I heard Ross Brawn intone. Then a pause before his driver replied. Dunno where I amWhatdyamean Derek?Cant find the entrance to the f---ing pit lane! Im stuck somewhere.This was in the day when Silverstone was flat out through Abbey and into a left-right chicane just before Woodcote. Turns out, when Warwick had raced at Silverstone a few months before in a Peugeot sports car, the pit entrance was actually the continuation of the straight leading from Abbey; in other words, a very fast entry. Nobody had thought to tell Warwick that the entrance had been shifted to the far side of the chicane. Warwick had steamed into what had become an escape road and narrowly avoided contact with a stout barrier.With the use of scanners beginning to become common knowledge, I couldnt resist telling Derek Id heard every embarrassing word. Just as well it wasnt being broadcast on tele... ' ' '
