The Oregon defensive squad. which
looked like the Wall of Stone last yyeek against
Arizona, looked more like the Wall of Styro
foam on Saturday There hasn't been this
muc h shredding sin< e the days ol (illie North.
I ayvn I hill and the Iran ('.ontra affair
Sad fac t is Oregon was beaten by a betlei
team No excuses, like at Stanford No single
point on which the game turned No break
down on which the loss can be blamed WSl
is just a good team
The dougars ran the ball well, and when
Oregon keyed on Broussard, they passed the
ball to one of their perpetually open wide re
reivers They didn't punt the ball until the
fourth

I'hree plays. Oregon couldn't puni li it in. and

Oregon did suite tti points They had the

In Ihe second half, things got interesting
Ihe Autzen scoreboard lit up like a pinball

third quarter, and an incredible tH points
si ored in the fourth
I'hree times Oregon made a rush at the

Oregon on the other hand, is probably out

there are still several other bowl games to go
