mpting Wildcat quarterback Tom Tunnicliffe to try
and hide most of the game.
"Ralph is a large human being," said Tunnicliffe
following Arizona's 19-10 loss. "When he is in your
face, it's hard to see. He was everywhere.''
One area of Oregon's defense that has improved
is the pass rush. Ralph and his linemates pressured
Tunnicliffe into throwing for less than 150 yards
Saturday, about 100 yards below his season average.
"We work on the pass rush a lot," says Ralph.
"To rush the passer is mainly desire — you just have
to keep going after it. You also have to realize that
you are not going to succeed every time."
Ralph has succeeded frequently this season. He
leads the Ducks in tackles with 56, including 10
tackles for losses and four quarterback sacks.
"Ralph is phenomenal," says Wilson. "He is one
of the most intense individuals I know."
Wilson, a 6-3, 225-pound sophomore from Ir
rigon, has done pretty well himself. The middle
linebacker is fourth on the Ducks with 44 tackles.
Twenty of those tackles came in Oregon's 15-14
win against Houston. Wilson was all over the field
against the Cougars — he was originally credited
with 22 tackles. Either way, he earned Pac-10 defen
sive player of the week honors.
Wilson is coming off an excellent freshman
season in which he made 33 tackles — 27 of them
unassisted. However, the year before he had left fall
camp and headed for home. It appeared the Ducks
had lost a promising linebacker.
But after some thinking, Wilson came back and
made a big impact last season. He has made a bigger
one this year.
“Last season was real important for me as a
player because I needed to get confidence,” Wilson
says. "I really learned as a player.”
What he learned last year has made opposing
receivers and running backs pay this year. Wilson
has shrugged off shoulder problems to become one
of the most intimidating linebackers in the
conference.
"He has had his problems with his shoulder, but
he is a real smart player," says Shatfeld. "He wants to
get better all the time. He doesn't have the great
speed, but makes up for it by being a very good
athlete.
"There is lots of potential in Lerry. He is not
satisfied with being good."
Ralph is like Wilson. Neither is content with just
being a good player. With Schaffeld's help, they want
to tap their potential and become the best players
they can be.

and swept the Huskies 15-11, 15-4
in their first meeting.
However, UW bounced back to
beat the Ducks in five games Oct.
1 at Mac Court.
Oregon coach Chris Voelz in
dicates that her team needs to win
every game on the road trip, and
she adds there may be a revenge
motive Saturday night in Seattle.
"We need three wins to prove
we re better than these teams, two
wins for the NorPac standings,
and one win over Washington to
salvage some lost pride," says
Voelz.
Washington started this season
0-10, then used its upset over the
Ducks to gain some momentum.
The Huskies are now 7-17 on the
year.
Last year, Voelz was ecstatic
when the Ducks beat UW 15-4,
15-13, 15-4 in Seattle to salvage a
season split; this year, she expects^
a win over the Huskies.
"Last year, it was really a big
win, because I wasn't sure we
were as good a team as they were.
But this year, I think we are a bet
ter team than them. I think we
should beat them."
The Huskies, 2-3 in conference,
look to middle blocker Becky
Stone and outside hitter Sue
Darcey to start their attack. On
serves, Stacy Brittain, who had
several aces in Washington's win
over the Ducks, is the one to
watch.
All three games will start at 7:30
p.m.
