By Erick Studemcka Emerald Sports Reporter Whilp Oregon was dismantling UNLV MR) Iasi Saturday. Pacrf u:-10 Conference rival Arizona nearly pulled off tin' upset of Ihi* season, losing8-7 to first-ranked Miami rill- previous week, while the Dot ks were hosting Texas Terh, Northwt?<I rival Washington was playing national power Nebras ka at home Could il he possible that Ore gon is dm kmg' the national collegiate football powers in hopes of gaining a few easy non confereni e wins' Wouldn't Ore gon's athletic budget woes be improved if the Ducks could pla .1 Miami or Nebraska in front of a vild-oul Aulzen Sladi um. rather than the 30,000 fans the Ducks have been drawing for recent games' The answers to these questions, as with most concerned with big lime collegiate athletics, lioils down to economic s (with some scheduling logistics and unfore seen circumstances thrown in for good measure ) "We schedule football games several years in advance." said Oregon Sports Information Direc tor Steve Hellyer "What we try to do is schedule a home and away series with quality teams, such as a Big 10 or Southwest Conference school With games sc heduled years in advance - up until the year 2000 as of now - there? is little Oregon can do about the quality of its opponent in any given year For example, when Ore «i m plays at (nlo State on Sapt 13, 1097. the Buckeyes could very well be the No 1 team in the country, or they could he Big-10 also-rans. The point be ing, there is no way to predict the quality of an op|xinenl years into the future But why is it that teams like Notre Dame. Miami, and Michi gan never seem to come to bugtine? "We don't have a big enough stadium to be able to guarantee them the amount of money it would take to gel them to travel out for a game." said Rich Brooks, Oregon's head football coach and athletic director. "Washington is able in gel a team like Nebraska out here because they have a 71.000-seal stadium and can gen erate the net essarv funds.11 Bn ause of the high guarantees required by the national con tenders, it can lx- more profitable for the Ducks to draw fewer peo ple lo a game against a less-pop ular opponent who requires a smaller guarantee But why do teams like Utah, Fullerton Stale. New Mexico State and other schools of lesser quality always seem lo show up on Oregon's schedule’ "What we try to do when we plan our non-conference games is to schedule one outstanding team, one quality team, and one lesser team." Brooks said. “We already have to play eight Pac-10 games each season, which means we have a difficult schedule to begin with, as the Pac-10 is prob ably the toughest conference in the country.'' Brooks said that he felt Ore gon s non-conference opponents this season had fallen into his predisposed categories, with Texas Tech being an outstanding team. Hawaii a quality team, and UNLV a lesser quality team IINLV, d should he noted, was not on the Ducks' original 1992 schedule, as Long Reach Stale was the original opponent until the 49ers dropped their program last year "Look what has happened." Brooks said. "Some felt that Hawaii was not a strong team to have on the schedule, hut they're :t-() now and in many polls." Hawaii has risen this week to No. 7 in the New York Times com puter football poll, verifying Box iks' opinion of the Rainbows living a "quality" team. Brooks also pointed out that Arizona and Washington also had their "soft" opponents along with their games against national pow ers Arizona has Utah State and New Mexico Stale on their non conference schedule, and Wash ington will play Pacific, one of the worst Division I teams in the nation And if you can’t wait until 1997 for Oregon's game against Ohio Stale, what other interest ing non-conference games can fans look forward to in the inter im? There is the home game against Iowa Sept. 24. 1994. and on Sept 9.1995, Oregon will play Illinois. But if you can't get tickets to those games, there should be plenty of room at Autzen on Sept. 21, 1996. That's vvtien Fullerton State will tie tack in town EDWARDS Continued Iron Page SB And what is Edward's vision of a gnat game? "I'd like to be more consistent." he said "I've played pretty consistent this year, but I want to play a perfect game Not miss any assignments, make great bits, and just do what I'm supposed to do play after play Edwards is following in the footsteps of many great linebackers that have come out of Oregon But Edwards said he. and fellow outside line backer Ernest Jones, are loo busy carving out their own niche to worry about who came before them. "Andy Conner. I’ete Brantley those guys were great, but I think Ernest and I are starting a new tradition of what a linebacker's supposed to lie," he said. "We’re trying to build our own reputa tions." Edwards nearly lost the opportunity to earn that reputation when he was suspended from the team missing Oregon's opener this year - because he wasn't getting the job done in the classroom “That helped me realize that si :hool is where I wanted to be." he said "When you lose something you like, you gel a reality chei k It bothered me not being able to play in the first game of the sea son. but that was my own fault " Edwards learned his lesson the hard way. but thanks to that "reality i het k." he's still smiling.
