Rich Brooks said. “Wo were
playing with guys that were
heat up and as time wore on, it
took its toll."
Oregon trailed only 16-6 at
the start of the fourth period,
and quarterback Danny O'Neil
seemed to finally have the
Duck offense going. O'Neil
completed passes to flanker
Anthony Jones, fullback Juan
ShcdrU k and tailback Donovan
Moore to move Oregon to the
DSC 47.
O'Neil then went deep to
Jones, but the pass was over
thrown and Jones was called
for offensive puss interference,
a 15-yard loss-of-down penalty
that moved the Ducks back into
their end of the: field.
O'Neil then tried to lob a
screen pass over a DSC defend
er, but Trojan nose; guard Jason
Uhl picked the pass off and
rumbled 35 yards for the tout h
down, putting the Ducks into a
23-6 hole with 11:38 remain
ing.
Sophomore quarterback Doug
Musgrave replaced O'Neil on
Oregon's next possession, but
he couldn’t get the offense
moving either.
USC recovered a botched
center snap, and after convert
ing a fourth-and-one situation,
Royster went around right end
to the corner of the end /one
for a four-yard touchdown.
The Trojans led 30-6 with
less than nine minutes remain
ing, effectively smiling the
Ducks' fate.
Alter USC failed to take ad
vantage of Oregon's fourth
turnover — Calvin Holmes' in
terception of a Musgrave pass
— Salisbury came in as the
Ducks' third quarterback of the
game and led the team to its
only touchdown. Salisbury also
passed to Jones for the two
point conversion.
