Bui Oregon s offense looked just .is absent us injured tail back Seim Burwoll, the Ducks' offensive slur in tfieir first two games An incomplete pass and two running plays later, Oregon fated a fourth-and-one that it failed to convert when Dono van Moore, Harwell's replace ment, was stopped at the line of scrimmage on an off-tackle run The injury to Burwoll may have hurt Oregon more than was previously anticipated The sophomore tailback in jured fits ankle in a practice last week after becoming the I’acif it 10 Conference's leading rustier, gaining an even 300 vards in wins over Washington State and Texas Tech. O'Neil faced pressure from the Utah defense all day as he was sacked eight times and forced to run 1H times during the course of the game. It showed in his final statistics, too only nine of his 23 pass es were completed for a meager 103 yards. Also missing was starting de fensive end Jell Cummins, who is out for at least four weeks due to his left font being placed in .1 cast because of ligament damage The Ducks may have lost the game in the lirst quarter, sur rendering a pair of touchdowns to Utah in the first half of the opening period. Oregon did not even get a first down until just under 13 minutes were left in the half. First quarter statistics toll tho whole story. Utah named eight first downs and gained 150 yards in the quarter, and Ore gon had no first downs and gained only seven total yards. Oregon's first play from scrimmage resulted in a lost fumble after Juan Shedrick was not able to handle the hand oil from O'Neil. Utah got the hall deep in Oregon territory and scored its first touchdown on the drive. Linebacker Joe Furwell led all Ducks in tackles with 11, al though he left the game in the third quarter because of an an kle injury he suffered at Texas Tech last week Living in University Housing is more affordable than you think...
