This one has meaning
By Steve Turcotte
Of the Emerald
When Oregon and Washington meet in football,
there is usually not much on the iine. in previous
seasons, the Ducks played for pride while the
Huskies played for prestige.
But this season, the situation is a little bit
different.
Saturday at 1 p.m. at Autzen Stadium, the two
teams will line up with more than pride on the line.
This year, an expected sellout crowd will watch two
teams playing for an inside track to the Rose Bowl.
The Ducks, 2-0 in Pac-10 play and 3-3 overall, are
riding a two-game winning streak with victories over
conference foes California and Arizona. Oregon has
won lour consecuuve rac-iu games aanng oacK ro
1982 — the league's longest win streak.
The Huskies, also 2-0 in the conference and 5-1
overall, are coming off league wins over Oregon
State and Stanford.
"It should be a wild one," says Washington
coach Don fames, 7-1 against Oregon and 4-0 in
Eugene. "We have had some great games with
Oregon in past years, and I don't see any way around
another great game this season."
lames probably remembers last season, when
winless Oregon led 21-17 early in the fourth quarter
before the No. 1 ranked Huskies came back to win
37-21. In 1981 at Autzen, a blocked punt helped
Washington break open a close game and win 17-3.
Oregon recorded its last win over Washington in
1980 with a 34-10 thumping in Seattle.
Oregon has been playing well in its last two
games, especially defensively. The Duck defense has
been making big plays time and time again. A week
ago, Arizona was held to just 229 yards and 14 first
downs.
The Ducks will need the same kind of defensive
effort to contain Washington's offense.
"We are still not totally an effective defensive
team," says Oregon coach Rich Brooks. "But we are
playing with more confidence. The injuries will also
hurt us."
Brooks was referring to two key secondary
players who likely will be on the sidelines Saturday.
Safety Doug Judge is lost for the season with an in
jured knee, while cornerback Wendell Cason (neck
injury) is questionable.
judge will be replaced by Dan Wilken, who has
had 23 tackles and one interception in a backup role.
Brooks said the sophomore had "an outstanding
game" against Arizona.
Offensively, the Ducks rushed for 152 yards
against Arizona, becoming the first team to go over
100 versus the Wildcats. But again, injuries have been
crippling. Tackle Greg Schwab is out for the rest of
the season because of knee problems, and guard
Gary Zimmerman is doubtful with a strained knee.
Oregon hopes its passing attack can compensate
for a depleted offensive line. Quarterback Mike
Jorgensen has completed just 43 percent of his
passes this season, but many of the completions
have come at opportune times. Jorgensen's main
targets have been Kevin McCall, who has grabbed 17
passes, and flanker Lew Barnes, who has snared 16,
three for touchdowns.
"They have really shown a lot of progress offen
sively," says James. "Not only have they progressed

well on offense, but I think their defense has really
come around."
Washington heads to Eugene with its usual
balanced offensive attack — theHuskies have rushed
for 1,339 yards and passed for 1,323.
Quarterback Steve Pelluer leads the Husky of
fense. He has completed 127 of 187 passes for 1,289
yards and five touchdowns.
"It's really a typical Washington team," says
Brooks. "Pelluer is a very talented quarterback and
has very good receivers to throw to."
Most of the time, Pelluer has thrown to split end
Danny Greene, flanker Dave Stransky and Hanker
Mike Pattison. Greene and Stransky have 24 catches,
while Pattison has 21.
Tailback Sterling Hinds is the top Washington
running back with 417 yards, 188 of those against
Stanford last weekend. Fullback Walt Hunt is second
with 273 yards, while Jacque Robinson, doubtful for
Saturday with a sprained ankle, has 259.
For Oregon, Ladaria Johnson is the No. 1 rusher
with 239 yards on 52 carries. Kevin McCall is second
with 152 yards, and Kevin Willhite has added 145.
It's not Monday, so skip Raiders

It's being (ailed a preview of the
National Football League cham
pionship game. If that's the case,
the Dallas Cowboys could be only
half a season and a postseason
away from winning Super Bowl
XVIII.
The Cowboys, the NFL's only
unbeaten team, are a victory shy
of an 8-0 start. The last time they
did that, in 1977, was also the last
time they won a Super Bowl.
They're going against the Los
Angeles Raiders, possessors of the
league's top defense. But they're
also going against an offense that
will have Marc Wilson at quarter
back instead of Jim Plunkett —
and the prediction is that the
Cowboys will have Wilson for
Sunday night dinner.
Even Al Davis can't convince his
troops that it's Monday night, so
take DALLAS minus 4 over the
Raiders.
