Passing is a major element in
football today The San Fran
cisco 49ers rode the pass to a
Super Bowl title iast year, and
Oregon's foes have shown it
works well at the college level
Oregon's opponents have com
bined for 900 passing yards thus
far, while the Ducks have just
930 yards in total offense
As Fresno State coach Jim
Sweeney, a former die-hard op
tion coach at Washington State,
said before his Bulldogs threw
for 297 yards in a 10-4 win over
the Ducks, passing is the way
the game is going today and if
you refuse to do it you are going
to be left behind
So far the Ducks have been
But Widmark defends his play
selections as appropriate in the
situations they were called "I
would agree we have played it a
little close to the vest at times
Given the situations that was the
thing to do." he said, referring
to the ASU game where they
took a conservative posture on
offense
"We had three situations Sa
turday that if they had been
stopped would have been called
conservative, but they worked
for big plays, including one for a
22-yard touchdown
“It wasn't any different," he
added, comparing Saturday's
calls to the previous games
What was different was the ex
ecution of the plays, which al
lowed them to work, according
to Widmark
It was, however, nice to see
the Ducks air things out against
Washington And it was nice to
see success The question now
is whether or nor they can keep
it up
It won't be an easy chore The
injury-riddled Ducks lost three
more Key performers on of
fense Quarterback Mike Jor
gensen went down with a
sprained ankle after becoming
the first signal-caller to take
charge this season by moving
the Ducks 80 yards on the
game's first drive The Ducks
also lost Moser with a fractured
foot, possibly for the season
and Thomas went down in the
first half but may return next
Saturday
The blow that hurts the most
will be Jorgensen Brooks has
been looking for a quarterback
to take charge ali fall Jorgen
sen did that Saturday, running
the option with authority
Lusk came in relief and
played well, definitely his most
impressive showing of the year
before two late interceptions
ended Oregon's comeback
With Jorgensen on the shelf,
the continuous battle between
freshman Dana Hill and Lusk
will resume again this week, as
suming Hill is out of Brooks' dog
house
That means another chal
lenging week for Widmark "It
has added to the challenge
because I'm preparing
someone different each week,"
Widmark said of the musical
quarterback situation "As with
anything else, different people
have different qualities, and you
have to do what is best for those
qualities."
Despite all the uncertainty,
Widmark is confident about the
remainder of the season "I
think we showed against the
number one football team in the
nation that if we execute and do
things right we re a damn good
football team.”
No one will argue with that.
They just hope it shows up in the
win column.
