list goes on.
As Musgrave prepares for

and a split-national television
audience — he seems very low

For Musgrave. a 23-year-old
financ:e major, the game could
bring some well-deserved rec

eluded him during his four

"I think people just kind of

Brooks said. "But I think he's
one of the best quarterbacks in
the nation. In my opinion, he is

After Musgrave threw for 443

IjisI year's record selling per
formance by Detmer and Mus
grave increased the media hype
for this weekend's game, and
then; has been talk of a rivalry
But Musgrave silences those
thoughts right away.
“There is no rivalry." he ex
plained, "but then; is a lot of
pressure. especially on me be
cause I think our offense is go
ing to have to score a lot of
points The game is never over
when you play BYIJ."
It is an important game for
both teams, hut it also has sig
nificance for Musgrave. It will

had the opportunity to show
case his talents to a split-na
tional audience. The first time
was in l‘)8H against UCLA, and
he didn't even play in that
game Itecause of an injury.
"I think our whole team is
pretty good." he said, "and we
are starting to get a lot of atten
tion. which adds to all the indi
vidual attention as well.
"The national exposure will

nation." Brooks said. "They
have so many similarities: they
win games, they make plays,
and they throw the ball where
it «.an be caught. They're just
winners "
In fact, Musgrave has been
very successful at Oregon. The
Ducks are 20-8 in games that he
has started and finished - an
important statistic for those
who remember the collapse of
1088. He led the team to a 6-1
record. and a national ranking,
before suffering a broken collar
bone against Arizona State. The
Ducks tost their top quarterback
for the season, and then pro
ceeded to lose the rest of their
games to finish 6-6.
"I think that if he had been
physically able to finish that
season we would have been in
a major bowl game,” Brooks
said, "possibly the Rose Bowl,
and the recognition would have
come his way.
"1 think Oregon's past histo
ry has hurt any player of capa
bility at the University from
getting any national recogni
tion," he added. "You have to

opener at Arizona, Musgrave's
execution slipped several
times, and as a result the Ducks
suffered. He threw four inter
ceptions - his first of the season
- including one that was tipped
by running back Ngalu
Kelemeni and returned for a
touchdown in Oregon's 22-17
loss.
"I have a great deal of confi
dence that he will come back
and play up to his capabil
ities," Bellotti said. "I don't go
on to the field expecting or
worrying about Bill Musgrave
breaking down our football
team."
"I think we will respond
good," Musgrave said. "We
played hard last weekend and
just didn't get it in the end. I
expect us to bounce back and
make up for last week.
"1 wish we were 3-0 right
now. but there is nothing we
can do to change that," he add
ed. "I guess we'll just have to
take our frustration out on
BYU."
