up the middle for 19 more, giv
ing the Aztecs a first down at
their own 44-yard line with 53
seconds to play.
Santos threw the ball out of
hounds to stop the clock at 47
seconds, then went back to pass
again, looking toward the right
sideline. But defensive end
Matt Brock flushed Santos out
of the pocket, and the senior
signal-caller turned upfield
After carrying the hall all the
way down to the Oregon 33,
Santos appeared to fumble the
ball out of bounds, right in front
of the Oregon coaches. The of
ficials determined, however,
that Santos fumbled inten
tionally to stop the clock, and
whistled him for an illegal for
ward pass
Oregon defensive coordinator
Denny Shuler was right on top
of the play with Brooks on the
sideline, and he agreed with the
call. ‘‘There’s no question he
threw it; as soon as it happened
Rich (Brooks, Oregon head
coach) called it,” Shuler said
Santos had a different ver
sion. "When 1 went to the
sideline, someone knocked the
ball loose from behind. No way
did 1 do it intentionally,” he
fumed after the game.
The penalty carried with it
loss of down, and suddenly the
Aztecs were faced with a third
and-16 from their own 39.
Another Santos incompletion
made it fourth down, and when
linebacker Bjarne Jensen made a
solo open-field tackle on Hewitt
three yards shy of the first down
to preseve the second-half
shutout, the outcome was
sealed.
After the first 30 minutes, vic
tory was anything but certain
SDSU racked up 244 yards of of
fense on its way to a 20-16
halftime advantage, and the
Aztecs’ anemic ground game
produced 74 yards to keep the
Duck defense off balance.
The Ducks, who had hoped to
get the running game on track
against a defense that had sur
rendered an average of over 250
yards a game on the ground,
managed just 46 yards rushing
in the first half.
Only the big-play passing of
Musgrave kept the Ducks close.
Billy the Kid gunned
touchdown strikes of 33 yards
to senior J.J. Birden and 30
yards to Green, and wound up
with 147 first-half passing yards
on just six completions
All the Ducks' points came
after SDSIJ turnovers
The Ducks had six first-half
possesions, three of which end
ed with Jan Cespedes punts,
and Musgrave suffered his first
interception of the season to kill
another at the SDSIJ 25-yard
line.
Green was the intended
receiver on the interception, but
tight end loe Meerten also was
in the area. Green, unsure the
pass was intended for him, was
slow to react. The ball hit him
in the hands, bounced up, and
Aztec safety Lyndon Early came
up with it to kill the drive.
Green would later atone for
that mistake, and then some
The Rocket Man finished with
four catches, good for 70 yards
and two TDs. He also caught a
two-point conversion pass from
Musgrave after his first score,
and that play set up the game
winner later on.
“When I lined up, (Moses) was
on the outside, and I think he
was thinking about the two
point conversion, when I went
to the corner.” Green recalled
“I gave him a move that way
and he took it, then he slipped
and it was all over.”
In the locker room at the half.

things up. but stayed with his
