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 Lew Barnes fumbles after catching this pass, 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
