Another day, another record for LaMichael James.

James, a Heisman finalist last season who this year has dealt with doubts about his speed -- did he lose a step or didn't he? -- left Arizona defenders gasping for breath and grasping for air as he piled up a UO-record 288 rushing yards on Saturday night, eclipsing Onterrio Smith's 285 at Washington State in 2001.

His first touchdown, a 12-yard run, tied the school record for career rushing touchdowns, with 41. He set a record later in the first half with another touchdown, this one on a 19-yard scamper to the end zone. It was his 47th career touchdown overall, a school record.

James is also broke into the Pac-12's all-time rushing record, coming in ninth with 3,890 yards.

The Ducks overall were in a record-setting mode on Saturday. Oregon's five sacks were a season high, recorded by four different players. Oregon defensive end Dion Jordan, one of three Arizona natives on the Ducks' roster, sacked Wildcats quarterback Nick Foles with nine seconds to play in the first half, killing what little momentum Arizona had.
