Red-hot Ducks face true test against Sun Devils
By Dave Charbonneau
Emerald Sports Editor
All right. the Ducks have won two straight
games.
They scored 5*1 points last wwk against UNLV
They have run (or more than MW) yards in their
past two games
They have held their opponents to less than 50
yards in two consecutive games
Arizona Stale lost their All-World running Im* k
last week.
So what could go wiong when (In-gon far e-s the
Sun Devils this weekend7
The best gauge to measure what the Ducks will
lie up against when they play Arizona Slate at l
p m. Saturday at Autzen Stadium is to look hack
to the last time they played a Pacific-10 Confer
ence team.
Before Oregon went on <> two-game rampage
against Texas Tech and UNLV. they were buried
by Stanford. In that 21-7 loss, the Chicks ran for a
paltry 57 yards, completed less than 50 percent
of their passes, and gave up 15.1 yards passing
Stanford's pressure defense basically shut down
Oregon's offense that has berm so productive as
of late Espocially the running game
"Last week we did not play* a very strong defen
sive football team." said Oregon head coach Rich
Brooks. "The fact we ran for 309 yards against
UNLV does not indicate that we re going to be
able to do that against Arizona State
"I think a l>etter indication of our running game
is what we did against Stanford That was a pret
ty puny number"
Arizona State runs the same eight-man front
pressure defense that Stanford killed the Ducks
with That scares Brooks
"Our ability to run the hall will he tested like
it hasn’t lestn tested all year." Brooks said. " There
are similarities in Arizona State and Stanford, and
we expect Arizona State to be as tough, if not

laugher, than Stanford."
Regardless of how had they played against Slan
ford. or how bad their competition was last week,
one thing is for sure.
The Ducks have made huge improvements
“What I’m pleased alniul is our improvement
in moving the football and finding the end zone,"
Brooks said "I do think our offensive line is bet
ter than it was a year ago, and we have healthy
running backs "
Sean Burwell and Ricky Whittle have estab
lished themselves as one of the top running back
tandems in the country, running for more than
400 yards in their last two games. But. again, they
have yet to prove themselves against a Pac-10
team this season.
Arizona State had a proven running back in
Mario Bates, who ran for more than 400 yards
in three games. However, bates was lust tor the
season last week when he blew out his knee.
Now. the Sun Devils will have to rely on Jerone
Davison to pick up the slack But Brooks is not
resting easy aliout facing a seemingly weaker Ari
zona State back fie Id.
"Our ability to stop the run of Arizona State
will go a long way in determining if we have a
shot to win this football game, he said.
With two redshirt freshmen Garrick Mctiee
and Grady Benton — calling the plays for Arizona
State. Oregon would like to forc e the1 Sun Dev
ils to try and beat the Ducks through the air.
Saturday's game is equally important for both
teams. The Ducks and the Sun Devils are both
0-1 in l’ac-10 games and the loser will have to
struggle to climb back into the Pac:-10 race.
"The team who wins tins game will obvious
ly have a chance to slick around for .1 while."
JBrooks said. "The loser will have a hard time |usl
gelling into the upper division of the conference
by season’s end."
Oregon has not won a Pac-10gnme since Sept
7, 1991. when it defeated Washington State in last
season’s opener
"It would tie very nice to have a Par-10 win.
Brooks said, "considering we haven’t had one nl
those in well over a year ”
One aspect of Oregon’s game that has hern over
looked in the past two games is the Ducks' pass
inggame Quarterback Danny O'Neil has thrown
a total of -10 passes in the last two games In recent
years, that would have been a number consti
tuting one game's-worth of passes But with the
running game performing so successfully, O'Neil
has not had to put the hall up in the air much
"I don't care how we move the ball.' Brooks
said. "If we have priiblems running the ball, then
we may have to go to the air. It's really just a game
by-game thing."
On the injury front, tight end Vince 1-Vrrv rein
jured his ribs against Texas Tech, sat out against
UNLV and is listed as very doubtful for Satur
day's game. Returning from the injury list will be
offensive tackle DaveCuttrell and inside line
liacker |o« Harwell. Harwell sat out last week, but
he said he could have played if needed Harwell
is the leading luckier in the Pac-10 with 1H solo
tackles and 3<i total
Game Notes: Oregon announced the Oct. 17
meeting with Washington will he moved up to
a 3:3tt p.m. start. The reason for the change of time
is so Prime Sports can televise the game
In addition, the ticket office made available
more tickets for the Husky game, which originally
sold out in August. The tickets went on sale ear
lier this week anil tickets were still available as
of Wednesday. The seats were made available by
a plan to install bleachers along the ramp on the
four comers of Autzen Stadium
