Ducks shock Houston
Ball finally bounces Oregon's direction;
fake punt, fourth down play key victory
By Doug Levy
Of tfve Emerald
So often in the past, Oregon's football team has
been in postion to win games, only to have bad luck
rear its ugly head in crucial situations and turn wins
into losses.
Saturday at Autzen Stadium, things were dif
ferent. A miscue turned into a big play that helped
the Ducks defeat a run-happy Houston club 15-14
and improve their record to 1-2 on the season.
Oregon trailed 14-9 when the play occurred. The
Ducks had stopped the Cougars on fourth and one at
the Oregon 17, thanks to Don Pellum's solo tackle of
Houston tailback Donald Jordan with 9:30 remaining
in the fourth quarter.
The Ducks had 83 yards to cover, but quarter
back Mike Jorgensen led a drive to Houston's 43,
spurred by a 17-yard run by fullback Ladaria Johnson
on a fake punt.
Then, on third and nine, Jorgensen s|aotted
flanker Lew Barnes at the Houston 25. Barnes caught
the pass, got hit and fumbled. A freak bounce and an
attempted scoop by tailback Kevin McCall carried the
ball to the two-yard line, where tight end Doug Her
man fell on it. Following a Houston holding penalty,
McCall scored from one yard out to put Oregon
ahead to stay.
"I was going out for my pattern, turned around
after the ball was loose, and saw it rolling around,"
said Herman, relegated to second-string after miss
ing a mid-week scrimmage.
I saw the fumble, and it was shades ot oh no ,
said linebacker Lerry Wilson, who paced the Duck
defense with 22 tackles, three unassisted.
But this time, it was Oregon, not the opponent,
which pounced on the fumble. Last year, with an op
portunity to upset Notre Dame, the Ducks failed to
recover a late fumble and allowed the Irish to rally for
a 13-13 tie.
In a jubilant Oregon dressing room, coach Rich
Brooks said "guts and determination” led to a Duck
victory.
"This team showed a lot of character and guts to
make the big play when it had to," said Brooks.
Certainly, the big play was the catalyst for
Oregon's win, because Houston, 2-2, controlled the
Ducks for most of the game.
On offense, the Cougars rolled up 251 yards
rushing, 127 of it from Jordan. Houston marched up
and down the field against the Ducks, but when it
came time for touchdowns, Oregon's defense and
Houston mistakes frustrated the nation's seventh
ranked rushing offense.
The biggest Houston blunder may have been
recorded by Cougar coach Bill Yeoman. First,
Yeoman disdained attempting a field goal on fourth
and one at the Duck 17. That would have put
Houston ahead 17-9 and forced Oregon into getting a
touchdown and two-point conversion just to tie the
game.
Next, the coach called for quarterback Lionel
Wilson to pitch wide to Jordan for first-down yar
dage, instead of running up the middle, which the
Cougars had done rather successfully.
"I was told (by coaches in the press box) that we
had two and one-half or three yards to go," said
Yeoman. "If I would've known it was one, I would've
said to rear back and go straight ahead." Yeoman ad
ded, "but let me remind you that play (the outside

but Oregon recovered it on one-yard line
enroute to 15-14 win.
p.tch) had worked six times before.
Conversely, a fourth-down gamble by Brooks
worked to perfection. )ohnson, the up man on the
Oregon punting unit, took a quick snap and galloped
17 yards into Houston territory with 7:33 remaining.
"We watched films during the week, and we
knew it was going to work," said Johnson, who top
ped the Ducks with 46 yards rushing on car
ries In the other locker room, Yeoman noted that the
Cougars were in a "punt safe" formation designed to
stop fakes. .. , _
On top of Johnson's heroics, Barnes fired up the
Ducks with a 53-yard TD reception from Jorgensen
and a sterling 50-yard punt return. And Herman and
Pellum emerged from the dark as heroes.
Yeoman called it a game his Cougars should hav<?^
won, and his players weren’t exactly full of pos|Mk
game conversation.
Jordan, the gifted tailback, waved off reporters.
Quarterback Wilson moaned that it was "the
toughest game I ever lost." Yeoman, asked if he was
surprised by Oregon's performance, sarcastically
replied, "they give scholarships, don't they? They pay
their coaches, they recruit big kids."
Jorgensen, propped against his locker, looked
too tired to offer a lengthy explanation for the vic
tory. "It was nice to get a win for a change,” he said.
Rich Brooks couldn't have agreed more.
