SJSU outlasts Ducks
Oregon's 17-point third quarter burst
wiped aside by fourth quarter turnovers
By Steve Turcotte
Of the Emerald
It was a reversal of roles for the
Oregon Ducks Saturday night at
Spartan Stadium in San Jose, Calif.
Usually, it's the defense that
keeps Oregon close in football
games with the offense playing
catch-up.
Against San Jose State's Spar
tans, it was the Duck offense, not
the defense, that kept the game
close before Oregon bowed 44-34
in the final non-league game for
both schools.
For the Ducks, now 1-3 on the
season, the game proved that its
offense could put points on the
scoreboard and pVoduce big
numbers statistically. But the
game also proved that the Duck
defense is vulnerable —
vulnerable against both the run
and the pass against a good foot
ball team.
"I'm pleased that we were able
to score some points offensively,"
said Oregon coach Rich Brooks,
"but at the same time we just
didn't play real good defense. We
are very inexperienced in the
secondary and at linebacker and it
showed."
It did show, and quite early in
the game for that matter.
The Spartans jumped on the
Ducks twice in the first quarter.
On their first possession, San Jose
drove 36 yards for a touchdown
and on its second touch of the
ball, drove 64 yards for another
score.
While the Oregon defense sput
tered, its offense was slowly get
ting untracked. The Ducks pulled
to within seven points when
quarterback Mike Jorgensen hit
speedster Lew Barnes on a 67-yard
touchdown pass with 5:52 left in
the first quarter. After San Jose
State took a safety four minutes
later, the Ducks trailed just 14-9.
"The game really went in
stages," said Brooks. "They
jumped on us 144) early, then we
got the long one and it went back
and forth."
San Jose State scored 10
unanswered points to take a 23-9
advantage with 6:44 remaining in
the first half.
But Jorgensen proceeded to
lead the Ducks on a 72-yard drive,
culminating when he hit tight end
Rich Caiser on an 11-yard TD pass.
That swung the pendulum
towards the Oregon side and the
Ducks were able to take advan
tage of the momentum change in
the third quarter.
The Ducks took the lead on
their initial possession when
Jorgensen hit Kevin McCall on a
30-yard touchdown pass. Oregon
increased its lead to 31-23 on a Mc
Call halfback-option pass to
Osborn Thomas from 23 yards
out.
i Oregon had a golden oppor
tunity to blow the game wide
open when linebacker Lerry
Wilson intercepted a Jon Carlson
pass and returned it to the Spartan
nine-yard line. The Ducks were

McArthur Court will he the convoeattun site in case of inclement weather
not able to capitalize, though, on
ly getting a Paul Schwabe field
goal.
"Our inability to get the ball in
the end zone on that interception
really hurt us," said Brooks.
"Things really started going bad
after that."
And quicker than you can say
come-from-behind, things went
from bad to worse for the Ducks.
San Jose State immediately re
bounded on its next possession,
driving 74 yards for a touchdown
when Carlson hit wide receiver
Eric Richardson from seven yards
out. That made it 34-31 with
almost a whole quarter to play.
On the ensuing kickoff,
Oregon's Doug Judge fumbled
the ball away, giving it to the Spar
tans at the Oregon 25. It took San
Jose just three plays to take the
lead for good at 37-34 when Dave
Criswell scored from the one-yard
line.
"That fumble was really a back
breaker," Brooks said.
The Spartans sealed the victory
on their next possession when
Carlson tossed a 26-yard
touchdown pass to Richardson
with seven minutes remaining.
For the Duck defense, it wasn't
exactly an impressive perfor
mance. San Jose State gained 117
yards rushing and 359 yards pass
ing for 476 total yards including 26
first downs. Carlson connected on
22 of 40 passest was intercepted
just one time ^and sacked just
once.
Oregon, led by Mike
Jorgensen's career passing perfor
mance, rolled up its highest point
total since its 47-21 victory over
Oregon State in 1981.
Jorgensen hit on 13 of 26 passes
for 224 yards and three
touchdowns, in what Brooks call
ed "his best performance since he
has been here."
The Ducks will now take on
California Saturday at Autzen
Stadium. And by the looks of Cal's
33-33 tie with Arizona, the Ducks
will have a lot of work to do to get
ready for the Bears.
Take it easy
