SPORTS Ducks should fight for bowl bid again next year By Ashley Conklin Emerald Spoils Editor ANAHKIM. Calif With two straight howl appearances, the Oregon football team has established itself as a legitimate howl contender Now. the next step for the Dm ks is to continue their up ward i limb in making it to big ger and belter Ixivvl games eat h year Steps one and two are in place with bar k to hack appear ames in the Independence and Freedom Bowls. Step three is to make another bowl game next year, one with more national recognition and exposure than the Freedom Bowl In the moments following the disappointing Freedom Bow! loss to Colorado State, it was hard for (loach Ku h Brooks and the players to reflect on what was an otherwise great season fur the Ducks Hut despite the .'12-31 set hack Oregon still had a great season, in fact better than <i year ago when it also finished 8 4 after heating Tulsa in Shreveport. I.a The one thing the Durks have done the pas! two seasons is show thev i an replace ke\ players lost to graduation or in jury and not "fall off the face of the earth" .is Hrooks often says Considering the Dm ks lost sut h stars as Derek Uivilte. l„it in Berry.

With the signing of junior college all-American Brett Salisbury from I’alomar Junior College in California, the Ducks should have a legitimate re plai ement for Musgrave if vet eran Boh Brothers and new comers Danny O’Neil and Mus grave s brother Doug don't prove to be the answer. Most likely Salisbury will be the starter from the opening of spring drills. Salisbury will be eligible for spring practice and tin; signing of a first team all American |C means Brooks doesn’t plan to sit him on the bench. Oregon does have five return ing starters on offense in Burwell and Kelemeni in the backfield. Bud Bowie and Da vid Collinsworth at guard and tackle, respectively, and tight end Jeff Thomason. The Ducks are very deep when it comes to running backs as ful I bat ks |uan Shedrick and Brandon Jumper, who should be back from knee surgery, re turn as does Howard Blackwell. Tight end is another strong area with Thomason. Vince Kerry, who took over when Thomason missed the last three games with a fractured ankle, and Dan Mitchell The key concerns are finding a center to replace Boatright and somebody to fill Reitzug and Michael McClellan's shoes at wide receiver. If the Dim ks fill those areas, and tind a quarterback to re place Musgrave. they very like ly will be back in a bowl, and probably a better and bigger ImiwI than the Independence or Freedom Bowls.
