Tulsa coach leery of Duck attack
By Ashley ( onklin
Emerald Sports Reporter
To put it mildly Tulsa head
i oa< h Dave Rader is con
cerned" to lie playing Oregon
m the l)e< Hi Indepemleni e
Howl
After <i -1-7 ret ord last season
Rader guided the ((olden I lurt I
cane to a l>T> mark, this year,
and while he's glad to he going
to Shreveport. I.a for Tulsa's
first how I appearani e situ e
l‘)7fi, he is worried about tai
ing the Due ks
“When we were set up with
the Independence Howl com
mitten I thought we would he
playing a middle ol the pm k
team." Rader said "not the
\o. 2 team from the I’ai It)
After exchanging game tapes
yvith the Oregon ( oat lung st.ift
Rader is learning all he tail
about the Ducks and is im
pressed w ith w hat he’s seen
"We know they're a very
good football team." he said
"They have a v ery balant ed of
tense and that's what really
puts the heat on you (as a de
fense)
(Juarterbai k Hill Musgrave
set several school records this
season including most yards
passing |li.7lil) and most
touchdown passes with Jtl l or
the lirst time in his i areer
Musgrave h.is stayed healthy
and Oregon has reaped the hen
etits hy going to a bowl game
lor the first time situ e l*M>!
A lot ol talk y\ as made ill the
pre season about Musgrave
staying healthy all season and
Radtu said that’s been the dif
terence for the Ducks
"They do .i good job of pro
ter ting him Radei said
" I here yy .is a lot ol hype before
the season started about Mils
grave's injury problems and
their line has made a conceit
trated effort to keep him
healthy
" They pul a lot ol pressure
on you yytth Musgrave and
I Terry | Oboe and then they
( mill' ,l! \ nil u ith (I letfk)
l.oville oil till' ground hr
added lli.it makes it really
lough tor iim defense to slop
thi.Mii
Oregon averaged till yards
.mil U points pet game this
season Musgrave led the l\n it
K 1(1 Conference in passing
yardage while l.uville was
fourth in rushiiivt and si oring
While Rader is worried about
the Dm k offense. Oregon head
roach Rii h brooks is prohahlv
equally com armed about the
('.olden I iurricane attai k
l ed by quarterbai k I |
Rublev and split end Dan
Bitson, Tulsa lias one ot the
best passing attai ks in the na
tion
Rublev threw lor tom h
down passes tills season with
Bitson i ati lung to ol them
Rublev bail J.J02 passing yards
this year while Bitson (aught
7.1 passes tor 1.4Jo yards
Rader is worried about Ore
gons secondary, particularly
l ornerback Dims Oldham, and
how well Rublev w ill be able to
pass on the 1 >m k defense
I don’t really know what
kinds ot tilings we ll be able to
do offensively " lie said I
think it will depend on how
hot we are
"( Jregon lias a v ei v ..I sei

mier defensive back in the na

Their secondary will probably
i urt.lil some ol the tilings Wi- li
able to do. but tlopet (111 \ we
can i omplete a lew passe - mil
go from there
But as Radei said the
Rublev Bitson show is an . \i it
big one. and could be the
toughest test lot (lo gon ■- di
ffuse tins season
Bitson lias li.it) an outstand
ing season " he said I | lias

Dan has i aught It) ol them and
they're really tun to watch
when they're on. especially .is
