was totally unnecessary.”
Brooks said. "That’s a real ter

shouldn’t happen."
jumper said he had already
begun to slow down after going
out-of-bounds when the late
shove came.
"1 had already began my way
out-of-bounds and it felt like a
push from behind," he said.
"After 1 got up my knee was
really tight.”
“I've just got to get this one
back into shape, work a little
harder because this one is prob
ably a little more serious,"
Jumper added.
The most positive note for
the Ducks was the ground
game.
Kelemeni had 149 yards on
17 carries and two touch
downs, while Burwell gained
126 yards on 22 rushes and
scored three touchdowns.
It was the first time two Ore
gon backs had been over the
100-yard mark since Derek
Loville and Latin Berry accom
plished the feat two years ago
at Washington State, and it was
the first time Kelemeni and
Burwell cracked the 100-yard
barrier.
"Both of them did some good
things." Brooks said of his tail
backs. "I thought Kelemeni
played very, very well and ran
hard which Burwell did at
times but there were other
times ... he played a little bit
like a rookie in some situa
tions."
Kelemeni said the emphasis
on the running game during
practice paid off against the
Vandals.
‘■■fhis week we had three
really good practices," he said,
"practicing the running game
and really emphasizing our
running game. I guess the suc
cess we had in practice carried
over to the game today."
Despite the impressive num
bers the Ducks rolled up on the
ground and on the scoreboard,
it was far from an easy win.
Idaho quarterback Doug
Nussmeier completed 24 of 49
passes for 281 yards, and run
ning back Devon Pearce gained
111 yards on 17 attempts. The

Vandals even led 7-0 at one
point before the Ducks started
to get things going.

touchdown pass to Kasey
Dunn. Michael McClellan took
the ensuing kickoff 89 yards for
a touchdown, the sixth-Iongest
kickoff return in Oregon history
and McClellan's first-ever
score.
"I was just kind of remem
bering Chris Oldham's 99-yard
kickoff return against (U)SC
and that he kind of ran out of
gas about the same time I did.”
McClellan said. "! just hit the
hole and the wedge worked
like clockwork.”
McClellan also sparked the
Ducks next touchdown in the
second quarter when he re
turned a punt 29 yards to the
Idaho 23.
Three plays later Kelemeni
stored his first touchdown of
the day and the Ducks scored
on their next three possessions
of the half to lead 31-7 at inter
mission.
The Ducks increased their
lead to 45-7 early in the third
quarter, scoring on their first
two possessions of the half.
The following week, the inju
ries to itargain and lumper
stilled weighed the heaviest on
Brooks' preparations for the
Pac-10 opener with Arizona.
"The two major injuries to
day were freak plays so we just
have to play through those
things," Brooks said. "We
have to have some other pooplo
come to the front and pick up
the slack. That's what I'm go
ing to ask of my football team
and I expect them to do that."
