zone for a safety by Marcus
Woods to make it 9-0, Oregon.
The success the Ducks had in
containing Detmer was never
more evident than it was on the
first two series. The key.
Brooks said, was to keep out
side containment on Detmer
and not let him escape the rush
by leaving the pocket.
“We brought pressure from
the outside and 1 think that's
the main thing we did that they
didn't expect because they kept
trying to rollout early," Brooks
said, “and there was always
somebody there to stop him.”
"Our containment really did
a good job of keeping Detmer in
the pocket,” said defensive co
ordinator Denny Schuler, the
one responsible for all of the
different defenses Oregon
threw at BYU.
When Detmer wasn't getting
sacked he was being intercept
ed. Three times cornerback
Daryle Smith came away with
interceptions and free safety
Steve Kemp picked off two
more passes.
All three of Smith’s intercep
tions were made when he
jumped for a high pass from
Detmer and two of the passes
were picked off in the end
zone. Kemp also intercepted
one pass in the end zone and
r
another inside the Oregon 20
yard line.
’’Daryle went up and re
bounded a couple of passes that
could have gone either way,"
Schuler said. "They were jump
balls and he came down with
them.”
"My hat's off to him and
Steve Kemp did a nice job of
being in the right place at the
right time and catching the
ball," he said. "That's some
thing we've really struggled
with the first couple of weeks.
We couldn't seem to catch
one."
Oregon had intercepted only
one pass in its first three games
and had only two total take
aways. But against BYU, the
Ducks had four more takeaways
than giveaways, the first time
this season they forced more
turnovers than they gave away.
And when the Cuugars
weren’t getting sacked or inter
cepted. they were going in re
verse on the ground. The mi
nus 47 yards rushing was an
Autzen and school record for
fewest rushing yards and a big
key to the final outcome.
"Obviously it was key be
cause the way we defensed
them in the pass 1 felt we were
vulnerable, particularly to their
trap draw and we stopped it,"
Brooks said. "That was key be
cause we didn’t want to bring
our contain people in tighter
because we wouldn't lie able to
keep Detmer in the pocket. "
While the Cougar ground
game didn't get going in the
second quarter after the horren
dous first period, the passing
game did.
Detmer led the Cougars into
Oregon territory three limes in
the second quarter, but came
away with only seven points as
Detmer threw one touchdown
pass and was intercepted in the
end zone twice
The closest BYU got the rest
of the way was 12-10 early in
the third period when Earl
Kauffman hit a 40-yard field
goal.
The Oregon offense was sput
tering. gaining only one first
down in the second quarter,
and it looked like the Cougars
might make their run. At least
that's what BYU Coach LaVell
Edwards thought.
"1 thought we'd play well
the second half and come out of
here with a victory," he said.
Musgrave, though, led the
Ducks on three straight touch
down drives to give Oregon a
commanding 32-to lead with
12:38 left in the game
On the first drive. Musgrave
completed four of five passes
and hit Michael McClellan for a
12-yard touchdown. On the fol
lowing drive. Musgrave hit a
wide-open Jeff Thomason over
the middle and the play went
31 yards for six morn points.
Finally. Musgrave's passing
and Burwell's running — 104
yards on 28 carries for the day
— gave the Ducks a first-and
goal on the eight and two plays
later the Oregon quarterback
scored on a three-yard carry up
the middle.
Musgrave said he felt more
comfortable in the second half
and that was what made the
Duck offense go.
"A lot of it out there is when
we feel like we get in a
groove," he said. "The whole
first half I'd didn’t feel like I
got that rhythm.
"Finally in the third quarter
we started hitting some passes
on first down.” Musgrave said,
“and when I can do that 1 think
those guys are in trouble be
cause we can do anything we
want on second down."
Detmer tried to rally the Cou
gars and got a big play after
Musgrave’s touchdown when
he hit Micah Matsuzaki on an
out-and-up play that went 69
yards and pulled BYU within
32- 16.
But unlike last year's game
when the Cougars were behind
33- 14 before Detmer picked
apart the Oregon secondary,
there was no comeback this
time.
Smith sealed the win when
he came up with two fourth

quarter interceptions and Kemp
iced it with his second inter
ception with 34 seconds left.
"The coaches had a good
game plan." Smith said. “They
came up with ways to cover
their receivers and it worked."
It was the defensive game
plan, surprisingly enough, not
the offensive one that made the
difference.
