Ducks on the road again —
and it’s a similar situation

Oregon hasn’t had any particu
lar success with its scheduling this
season, and the Ducks fare no
better this Saturday when they
travel to Baton Rouge to fa;e
Louisiana State fresh from a tough
33-13 Southeast Conference loss
to rival Kentucky.
“We'd been awfully high for a
while," said LSU Coach Charlie
McLendon. “They were a very
physical team and left us with a
few bumps and bruises."
Notable among the casualties
stemming from last week are star
ters Blake Whitlatch and Kent
Broha. Whitlatch, a senior
linebacker, had keyed the Tiger
defense in early wins over Florida
and Rice, as did defensive end
Broha.

Last weekend Oregon com
peted against three amateur
dubs, splitting three games, in
duding a 1-0 loss to Los Angeles
Coach Smith termed that game
Oregon s best of the season
cess of LSU, however, was its
spectacular running game, which
until last week had led the nation.
Junior Charles Alexander, who
had led the nation in rushing with
well over 160 yards per game,
was stopped for 87 by the
12th-ranked Wildcats. “He took a
pretty good beating last week,"
McLendon said. “His yardage
wasn’t that bad, but he knows it’s
low for him.”
The Oregon running back situa
tion fared no better this week, as
starting fullback Vince Williams is
stopped with a knee ailment. “He
hasn’t practiced this week
because of the bad knee,’ said
Coach Rich Brooks. “We ll start
Jeff Wood and he'll be backed up
by Kim Nutting."
Freshman tailback Donald
Davis will start, but senior Dennis
Bullock should see plenty of ac
tion coming off of his fine showing
in Los Angeles against USC.
The loss of the two starters on
the Tiger defense might give the
Ducks a little added advantage on
offense, as they proved last week
they can indeed control the line of
scrimmage.
Of course we don’t have the
advantage of knowing much
about their players,” McLendon
said. “But judging from what
we’ve seen in their game with
Southern Cal, I’d say that their line
is very strong.”
For the first time this year, the
Ducks will at least be competing
on even terms, as the average
size of LSU’s line is roughly the
same as Oregon’s. ‘‘They move
very well,” McLendon warned.
“And they give the quarterback a
lot of time back there. Henderson
is a real quality player and he can
hurt you that way.”
Louisiana State is being fa
vored by upwards of 20 points,
which might cause the Tigers to
look to their next game with Mis
sissippi. “I’ll be disappointed if
they do overlook Oregon,
though,” McLendon said.
‘‘Oregon will be coming down here
to win a football game, and we’ve
been making too many mistakes
to overlook them. They re larger
than we are, and physically I think
that they can give you problems.”
One thing Oregon and LSU
have in common is the problem of
getting good field position. ‘‘We
have a good offense,” McLendon
admitted, “but it's tough when you
have to move 80 or 90 yards to
score no matter who you are."
“It will be tough to keep them
out of the end zone," Brooks coun
tered. “We ll have to improve our
punting game and keep them
away from the end zone.”
Which, as other teams have
discovered in the past, is no easy
task
