SPORTS 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 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 Turn to AGGIES.
