The quarterback question
Kevin Lusk hopes he's the Ducks answer
By Dan Buckwalter
Of tfx Emerald
If this season were to be labeled one of
redemption for the Oregon Ducks, and it easily
could be, then it may be a year of redemption
for Kevin Lusk as well
Lusk, Oregon's fifth-year senior quarter
back, has weathered the same peaks and
valleys the Duck program has, during his
career Like the Oregon team, Lusk was near
the top his game two seasons ago, before it all
came crumbling down in last year's sea of
losses
Lusk's story is perhaps the best known of
any of the players on the current roster He is
the same quarterback, who as a sophomore
during Oregon's remarkable string of upsets in
a probation year, sparkled in the shadow of
Reggie Ogburn, helping the Ducks to a star
tling 6-3-2 mark
After that memorable season, Lusk inherited
the starting role from a graduated Ogburn with
the promise from coach Rich Brooks of better
things to come; perhaps a bowl bid. For Lusk,
that physically and emotionally painful year
was played with a bum knee (the result of
surgery prior to the season), a broken nose,
and a sore throwing shoulder.
He also played behind an unsettled line so
badly crippled with injuries that different
players were shuffled in and out almost weekly.
At the same time he was trying to guide the
Ducks through the new Power I offense All of
which left the Ducks with a 2-9 record, no bowl
bid, a large question mark at quarterback and
no more fearless forecasts from Brooks
Lusk, for now, has answered the quarter
back question, winning the job outright in
spring drills He reported to two-a-day drills
with a clean bill of health. The offensive line,
which took its share of heat last fall, is also
sound entering the season
Now, with the season underway, Lusk sets
out to prove his sophomore year (he complet
ed 64 percent of his passes) was not a decep
tion and that his junior year (49 percent) was a
fluke
"I've been here five years,” Lusk said prior
to two-a-days. “Experience has to show. It's up
to me to bring it out. It's a matter of improving
We all had problems last year."
Brooks knows firsthand the problems that
beseiged Lusk and the offensive line a year
ago He has stressed all through preseason
practices the need for improvement on the line
and at quarterback so that Oregon's defense,
statistically near the top of the Pac-10 for the
first half of last season^ may rest itself

one. He rushed for over 1,000
yards and was named all-league
at tailback.
He redshirted his first year to
add some bulk to his 6-0, 160
pound frame. By the time he was
to start playing a year later,
Brown was up to 180 pounds
and ready to make a significant
contribution to the Duck pro
gram
Tennis is far removed from
the athletic agenda these days
Brown won the Sacramento city
prep doubles title one year in
high school and his father
wanted him to advance tennis to
the college level But Brown has
no regrets being on the level
he's on now in football - an elite
group of preseason all-Amer
icans from around the country
"I enjoy playing tennis very
much," he says "But I don't
have regrets playing football. I
just wanted to do something
athletic.”
In his five years at Oregon,
Brown has seen plenty of highs
and lows, from scandals and
subsequent probation to a
trouncing of the Rose Bowl
bound Washington Huskies in
Seattle
The lows seem to stand out
though.
"Being on probation, the ac
tual losing, it's hard to take,"
said Brown "But if you're ever
going to do well in life, you're
going to have to learn from your
mistakes and capitalize on
them "
Brown has certainly capi
talized on any mistakes he's
made In his freshman year,
Brown picked off two crucial
passes late in the game as
Oregon held off Cal, 19-14. In
his junior season, Brown inter
cepted a fourth quarter pass
and raced 36 yards for a touch
down to cap the 34-10 win over
Washington which put a thorn in
the Huskies Rose Bowl season
All are good memories, ones
that fans will treasure But for
Brown, it was the 6-5 and 6-3-2
seasons he’ll remember most
and it's those seasons that he
will have a hand in this year
trying to duplicate
Everybody was in good spirits
when we were winning," said
Brown. “I came from a high
school that never won (1-10 his
senior year) That’s why I trea
sure every win."
Brown hopes to treasure
more wins and even better
memories this season
