Oregon pounds Utah State 52-7,
faces Washington next Saturday
By Ashley Conklin
Emerald Sports Editor
Oregon came out and took
care of business Saturday, rout
ing Utah State 52-7 in a non
conference encounter at Autzen
Stadium.
Now that the 22nd-ranked
Ducks have the Aggies out of
the way, all attention can be
turned north to Seattle and this
Saturday's showdown with No.
17 Washington.
The biggest concern Coach
Rich Brooks had with Utah
State was a possible letdown af
ter the big win over Brigham
Young a week earlier, and con
centrating too soon on the bat
tle with (lie Huskies that could
likely decide the Pacific-10
Conference’s Rose Bowl berth.
But Oregon never did look
flat or play lackadaisically
against Utah State, putting the
game out of reach early with a
35-0 halftime lead and empty
ing the bench in the second
half.
And Brooks was pleased the
Ducks concentrated solely on
Utah State when they could
have easily looked past the Ag
gies.
"I'm very pleased with the
piny of our team," Brooks said.
"Certainly we were not at fever
pitch and we played well.
"This team has learned some
things over the last couple of
years, certainly the juniors and
seniors on this team about our
ability to get up for certain
games and then not play well
in games we should win." he
said. "I think maybe the team
has a little more maturity in
that regard."
For the third straight week,
the Duck defense turned in a
dominating performance, limit
ing Utah State to only 21 rush
ing yards on 19 carries and al
lowing only 222 yards of total
offense.
Meanwhile, the Oregon of
fense racked up 50H yards of to
tal offense and tied a school re
cord with 33 first downs Tail
back Sean Burwell rushed for
129 yards on 20 carries for his
third 100-yard game, a fresh
man school record.
Quarterback Hill Musgrave
played the entire first half and
the first series of the second
half, completing 15 of 23 pass
es for 1H7 yards and three
touchdowns. Along the way,
Musgrave broke Chris Miller's
career total offense record.
Musgrave now has t>.87B
yards of total offense <tn<i !*>
c.ame the first Duck quarterback
to throw for more than 7.000
yards in a career.
"I think it'll mean something
when I'm done here,'' Mus
grave said of setting another
school record. "I think it's a
good reflection of our offense
liecause we've racked up a lot
of yards in the last four years."
Two of Musgrave's touch
down passes went to tight end
Jeff Thomason, who now has
six touchdown receptions and
is quietly moving toward the
school record of It) touchdown
receptions in one season set by
Hobby Moore (Ahmad Hashed).
Brooks made it clear after the
game that he thinks Thomason
is probably the l>esl tight end in
college football.
"I think he's as good as there
is at his position." Brooks said
"They talk about (Chris) Smith
last week from BVU. I think Jeff
Thomason is the premiere light
end in the nation. Me can
catch, he can block, he can
make big plays."
While it was the passing
game getting the job done in
the second quarter, it was the
running game setting things up
