EUGENE, ORE. ? Arizona State quarterback Andrew Walter tried to come up with words to adequately describe his team’s surprising victory against No. 6 Oregon, and he kept going back to one in particular.

“You dream about getting a win in a place like this,” Walter said after the Sun Devils’ 45-42 victory Saturday night. “It huge. It’s huge for the program and it’s huge for the team.”

Walter threw for a school-record 536 yards and four touchdowns, and Arizona State rallied from a 21-0 second-quarter deficit.

The Sun Devils (6-2, 3-0 Pac-10) are one of only two unbeaten teams left in the conference. Washington State (6-1, 3-0) was idle Saturday.

The loss snapped an 11-game overall winning streak for the Ducks (6-1, 2-1). It was the second-longest streak in the nation behind Miami’s 28. Oregon had also won six straight Pac-10 games.

“Unfortunately we just couldn’t control the game; we couldn’t corral it, turn it our way,” Oregon coach Mike Bellotti said.

Walter, whose yardage topped Paul Justin’s 534 yards against Washington State in 1989, completed 31 of 53 passes. All told, Arizona State racked up 590 total yards.

“Wow. I’m stunned,” Oregon free safety Keith Lewis said. “You can never give up 500 yards, I don’t care who you are.”

Shaun McDonald added 12 catches for 204 yards and a score for Arizona State, which snapped a four-game losing streak to Oregon.

“I’ve played against the Ducks for five years now and hadn’t beaten them. So if I didn’t do it this time, I would never have the chance again,” linebacker Mason Unck said. “They are an unbelievable football team.”
