The toughest gig in college football this year: Whichever defensive coordinator happened to be tasked on any given week with slowing down Oregon's warp-speed offense, which began the season as the nation's highest-scoring offense after the first weekend of games and never relinquished the title. The final tally after Saturday's 37-20 rout over rival Oregon State: Ten games with at least 42 points, six games with at least 50 and only one game – a 15-13 escape from Cal in Berkeley – that was remotely in doubt in the fourth quarter.

Early results had the measure getting 61 percent of the vote. With the measure passing, York believes the 49ers will be in their South Bay home four NFL seasons from now.
"It looks good," York said Tuesday night. "This is a big step. ... We look to be playing football in a new stadium in 2014."
