It was a day of firsts Saturday at
Autzen Stadium.
It was the first time Oregon fans had
perfected the “wave,” a wave-like illu
sion created by standing-then-sitting
fans in alternating sections.
It was the first time sophomore Matt
MacLeod had kicked three field goals in
one game.
It was the first time an Oregon running
back had rushed for over 100 yards in a
game this season.
It was the first time an Oregon quarter
back had thrown for over 200 yards in a
game this season.
And, it was the first time an Oregon
team was 4-0 since Len Casanova’s
Ducks went 6-0 in 1964 before succumb
ing to Stanford, 10-8.
The fans numbered 28,505. The runn
ing back was senior Kevin McCall. The
quarterback was sophomore Chris
Miller. And the team at the short end of
the score was the University of the
Pacific as Oregon avenged last season’s
21-15 opening loss to the Tiger’s with
grand performances from this year’s Old
Faithful — Oregon’s offense which has
been generating over 26 points a game.
At the center of attention for the
already highly visible Oregon offense
was McCall’s 104 yards rushing on 24
carries. McCall’s performance marked
the first time an Oregon back has had a
100-yard performance since the same
tailback did the feat against Oregon State
University last year.
‘‘The offensive line had been doing
really well all year, but 1 had a thigh
bruise in the first three games,” said Mc
Call who had amassed 198 yards prior to
Saturday’s game. ‘‘This week. I was able
to run a lot more freely. I wasn’t as sore
or tight, so I thought that was the
difference.”
To complement McCall’s rushing,
Oregon’s offense also fielded a strong air
attack that accounted for 224 yards in
cluding a patented Miller-to-Barnes
touchdown pass that gave Oregon a 14-6
lead.
Miller turned in his best passing per
formance as he threw for 216 yards on 19
of 28 attempts. More importantly. Miller
didn’t toss a single interception, exten
ding his streak to 92 passes without an
error.
“1 think we played very explosively,”
said Barnes. "We didn’t turn the ball
over any times this game, and that’s
what has been positive in the last couple
of games.’’
Barnes had four receptions for 60
yards, all of which came in the first half.
Suprisingly, Barnes was the Ducks’ se
cond leading rusher with 39 yards on
two double-reverse plays the Ducks ran
in the first half.
Oregon kicker Matt MacLeod, who
tallied 12 of Ducks’ 30 points, chalked
up three field goals from 32, 38 and 47
yards.
"We knew our offense was capable of
putting points on the scoreboard. We’ve
been coming close to getting points, but
we hadn’t been executing... So this week
we got together and executed our
plays,” said McCall.

never surrender.
“It is sort of nice to go into
the fourth quarter, knowing you
don't have to pull one out of
your fanny to get a win,” said
Brooks sporting a hat that read
“Oregon 4-0” on it.
Pacific had a chance to tie the
. score early in the second
quarter. Tiger running back Ron
Thorton collected a Paul Berner
pass and scampered 32 yards in
to the end zone for the Tigers’
first score of the day.
The touchdown cut the
Ducks’ lead at 7-6.
Pacific gave the Ducks a break
when Tiger kicker Ken
Norgaard’s boot went wide to
the right, and so did Pacific's
chances for victory.
On the ensuing drive, Oregon
drove the field behind the pass
ing of Chris Miller and the se
cond of Lew Barnes’ double
reverse runs of the day. The two
ended the drive with Miller
tossing a perfect strike to Barnes
in the corner of the end zone for
17-yard touchdown. MacLeod’s
point after gave the Ducks
breathing room with a 14-6
lead.
“We had practiced that pat
tern all week,” said Barnes.
“We anticpated what defense
they would be in."
The coverage on the play had
Barnes mismatched on Pacific
defensive back Darrell Divinity.
Oregon turned the mistake into
six points and the necessary
leverage to boost the Ducks’ of
fensive unit.
“I think we did a better job
getting the ball to some other
people in the passing game,”
said Brooks who saw eight dif
ferent Oregon players catch
passes.
The Ducks added two more
MacLeod field goals in the se
cond quarter, one was a
47-yarder as the half expired to
put the Ducks up 20-6.
“They (Pacific) scored 28
points in the third quarter last
week (against Northern Arizona
University),” said strong safety
Doug Judge who had two pass
interceptions. “We figured they
would make a good run at us.
We didn’t want that to happen.
The Ducks didn’t. McCall
ended Pacific’s hopes with a
one-yard run to put the decision
out of reach with Oregon
holding a commanding 27-6
lead.
