The Husky defense was the top
ranked rushing defense in the nation go
ing into the game and the 17th-ranked
Huskies lived up to it. allowing the
Ducks only seven net yards in a 3H-17
win.
For Oregon, ranked 19th coming in,
the Rose Bowl is a virtual impossibility
at this point as the Ducks sit 0-2 in Pa
cific-10 Conference play. 4-2 overall.
Washington improved to 3-0 in confer
ence play and 5-1 overall.
"I think it's going to lie tough to make
it to the Rose Bowl with two losses."
Oregon quarterback Bill Musgrave said,
“so we'll just concentrate on getting
back on the winning track against ASU
and be 5-2 after next week "
Musgrave was sacked five times for
minus 47 yards, but the running game
didn't get much from tailback Sean
Burwell or fullback Ngalu Kelemeni ei
ther as they gained only 29 and 25
yards, respectively.
It wasn't only the running game, or
lack of. that hurt Oregon. Three turn
overs also aided the Husky cause, some
thing that the Ducks couldn’t have hap
pen if they were to win.
“I said earlier this week that if we're
going to give the ball away we might as
well stay home." Oregon Coach Kich
Brooks said. "You have to give Wash
ington credit for creating those turn
overs. There were some reasons for
them but you can't turn the hall over."
It was a total domination on both
sides of the ball by the Huskies, some
thing Musgrave has rarely had happen
to him as Oregon's quarterback
"I felt like we were beaten and I don't
remember many times where we were
actually' beaten." he said "I feel beaten
today."
Musgrave was intercepted twice in
the first half but only one of the miscues
resulted in a Washington score The
Ducks trailed only 14-10 at halftime and
had the momentum going into the lew k
erroom.
It looked like the Ducks would st ore
early in the third quarter after Burwell
took the second-half kit koff 42 yards to
the Washington 4-1 yard line and Mus
grave hit Anthony (ones for seven yards
to the :»7. The drive stalled and the
Ducks were forced to punt
"We came out and returned the open
ing kit koff so well and I thought, boy
that will open the door for us," Mus
grave said. "But we dido t take advan
tage of it."
The teams exchanged punts twice af
ter that stalled drive and the Ducks got
the ball back .it their own 42-yard line
"I thought one of the big things there
was that we had been keeping our field
position and not giving it up when the
teams traded punts.” Oregon offensive
coordinator Mike Bellotti said
“When we had the ball there, in good
field position, and in their territory I
thought we could do anything with it
that we wanted," he added.
Three Musgrave-!o-|ones completions
gave Oregon the ball on the Husky .19
yard line, but two plays later Musgrave
was back to pass and Washington s
Mark Jones came in to sack Musgrave
and force a fumble
Tyrone Rodgers recovered all the way
back on the Duck 37 and three plays lat
er, Husky quarterback Mark Brunell
scrambled into the end zone from 12
yards out for his second rushing touch

The sack and fumble was the turning
point of the game, the point where the
Ducks had a chance to go ahead with a
touchdown but fell behind even further
and could never recover
"At 11 if? start of tin* second half we
had two or three possessions with great
field position and not only did it not re
sult in taking the lead or getting another
field goal or getting points." Hrooks
said, "we reversed the field posit ion by
