PULLMAN, Wash. — Ricky
Turner, the magician of the run
and pass, performed his trickery
on the Oregon football team
Saturday.
Any lingering hopes the Ducks
may have had for the Rose Bowl
were quickly washed away when
Turner, Washington State's
quarterback, almost
singlehandedly led Washington
State to a 24-7 victory.
Oregon, entering the game with
a 2-1 conference record, still had
an outside chance at the Pac-10
championship. But Turner scored
a pair of third-quarter
touchdowns in a 19-second span
to lead his Cougars to victory on a
warm and sunny afternoon.
Going into the game, Turner
was second in the nation in pass
ing efficiency, connecting on 66.3
percent of his aerials. But it wasn't
his passing which sent the Ducks
reeling, it was his running.
For the game, Turner galloped
for 67 yards on six carries and a
pair of touchdowns. He also main
tained his throwing image, hitting
on 14 of 23 passes for 150 yards.
However, for a half the Ducks
effectively bottled up the speedy
Cougar quarterback and his
teammates.
"We played pretty good for the
first half," said Oregon coach Rich
Brooks, who saw his team drop to
3-5 on the season. "But we had
some breakdowns in the second
half and they took advantage."
• In the first half, neither team
displayed a lot of offense. Oregon
had the best scoring opportunity
on its initial possession, but Paul
Schwabe's 35-yard field goal at
tempt was wide right.
Big plays, Oregon's secret
weapon this season, were its
downfall Saturday.
With 33 seconds remaining in
the first quarter, Washington
State scored the game's only first
half points. WSU's Kitrick Taylor
received Kevin Hicks' punt at his
own 22-yard line and took off on a
78-yard touchdown return to give
the Cougars a 7-0 lead.
"It was a low kick," explained
Brooks. "They collapsed one side
of our line and when he broke
through our first wave of
resistance, he had a lot of blockers
in front of him.
Cougar coach Jim Walden saw
Taylor's return another way.
"Kitrick got by the first guy and
after that I don't know because
everything was going by me a
hundred miles an hour. I m just
standing there hollering run, run,
run."
If it wasn't obvious who owned
the momentum of the game in the
first half, it was crystal clear in the
third quarter.
The Cougars drove to the
Oregon 32-yard line on their first
possession in the quarter. Then,
on fourth and two from the 32,
Turner faked a pitch to tailback
Kerry Porter, tucked the ball
under his arm and scooted in for a
touchdown.
"The defensive end tried to
cover me and the back at the same
time," said Turner. "I gave a fake
and he went with it."
After defensive tackle Eric
Williams intercepted a Mike
Owens pass. Turner found
daylight again, keeping on an op
tion and reversing his field from
24 yards to make it 21-0.
Oregon tallied its only points
with three minutes left in the
quarter on an eight-yard pass from
Owens to Lew Barnes.
But the story of the game was
Turner and his ability to keep the
Duck defense off balance with his
running and passing on the op
tion.
"He is a good quarterback,
especially when he gets out of the
pocket," said Duck linebacker
Bob Hudetz. "We didn't want to
flush him out of the pocket, but
he is just so fast that his quickness
gets him open."
"He's the quickest we have fac
ed," said Oregon safety Dan
Wilken. "He adds another dimen
sion to their game."
Besides Turner, injuries in the
offensive line did in the Ducks.
Guard Gary Zimmerman played
with an injured knee and center
Ryan Zinke had to leave the game
because of knee problems. The
Ducks got so desperate that tight
end Dave Christensen had to
make an appearance at right
tackle.
Meanwhile, guard Steve Jenson,
just returning from a leg injury,
played out of position when Zinke
exited.
'Meager Beavs' win one
