Some answers for the Ducks
CALL IT A BUSMAN S HOLIDAY Or call it
liquid agony
It involved sitting in the stands of the
Oregon-Washington game, watching in the
persistent downpour as the Ducks self-de
structed before my very eyes
Sportswriters don't often get the chance
to sit in the stands and watch — not work — a
football game I thought it might be fun to just
take in the party atmostphere of college foot
ball
After rainwater filtered through eight
layers of clothing. I think I'll stick with the
warm, cozy press box from now on
THE FANS I HUDDLED WITH Saturday
had different opinions on what's the matter
with Oregon After reading what the experts
thought of the Ducks' demise, it was interest
ing to hear what the real fans thought A
sampler follows
“Get Lusk out of there!?''
That wasn't the problem against the Hus
kies. nor has it been all season long True, he
did make a key mental error when the Ducks
were called tor delay of game on the Husky
one-foot line, but it wasn't a fatal mistake
Up to this point, Lusk has performed
adequately His injured knee has withstood
four bruising games, his passing has been at
times excellent, and his enthusiasm and zeal
for the game refreshing
“What's the matter with that defense?!?"
To answer that question, absolutely noth
ing Not only do the Ducks have the best set of
linebackers in the Pac-10 north of USC they
boast an All-American candidate in the back
field in Steve Brown, and experience every
where else
Long before the season started Oregon
coach Rich Brooks proclaimed his defense as
the strength of his ballclub. and he s right The
defense has given up just 59 points over four
games, while the offense has managed but 63
— over half coming in its only win
We want Mr*. Brook*!
If the Ducks were In some rabid college
football town, there might actually be rum
blings about the kind of job Brooks has don*
this year. Thankfully, this isn't Norman, Ok
lahoma or Columbus, Ohio, and there Isn’t a
chance of that happening.
Fans — and sportswrlters — always
second-guess and gripe about the way a team
Is being handled. But they don’t know every
thing a coach does — or could they hop* to
for that matter.
Brooks knows more about the strengths
and weaknesses of his team than anybody
else. He's the expert let him do It his way.
THEN IF IT'S NOT ANY of the above, what
Is It?
You could blame It on the offensive Hn*
that hasn’t opened the holes for Reggie Brown
or protected Kevin Lusk. Brown, the bruiser
that he is, has made his yardage largely on his
own, and Lusk was sacked seven times
against the Huskies.
To their credit, injuries have finished
starters Stu Yatsko. Scott Shepard and Jeff
Kubitz tor the year, and ITs now up to their
understudies.
But Just maybe M could be that the Ducks
are Just not that good. Sure, they’ve come a
long ways from the 2-9 years, but they're not
ready lor talk of a Duck dynasty.
They've strung together two winning sea
sons mainly on emotion and intelligence. In
addition, they’ve lulled some good teams to
sleep and beat them when they weren't look
ing.
Now, those teams they upset are out to get
revenge — Washington, for example.
And those teams like Fresno State can
make their whole season with a win over
Oregon. It's easy to build up emotions when
you're the underdog
The Ducks may have to get used to doing
that again.

zone with 13:04 remaining in the
half to give the Huskies a 7-0
lead
Oregon put its only points on
the board when Joliymour
kicked a 26-yard field goal The
Ducks had a chance to put the
ball in the end zone, driving to
the Washington 9 yard stripe
from the Oregon 21, before the
drive faltered with two passes
falling incomplete in the end
zone
The Ducks have a bye this
weekend, giving them two
weeks to prepare for the
Arizona State Sun Devils and
allowing time for Reggie Brown,
the Oregon tailback, to mend a
sore right thigh
The rest of the Ducks might
also cherish the time to lick the
wounds that only last year they
had inflicted on these same
Washington Huskies in a 34-10
win
"We have to regroup," Lusk
told reporters "People might
think the Ducks will be down,
but that won't happen," he said,
"We will be back "
