The ono play that typified the
maturation of O'Neil was when
ho hit Ronnie Harris for a -tR
yard touchdown pass for Ore
gon's first score of the game.
O’Neil was flushed out of the
pocket by the Sun Devils' rush
O'Neil rolled right and saw a
giant hole open up in the Ari
zona State line Just when it
looked as if O'Neil was ready to
tuck the hall away and run for a
big gain, he stopped short of
the line of scrimmage and fired
a pass to a wide-open Harris
across the middle
During his career at Oregon,
O'Neil has always had the rep
utation of not showing enough
patience to find the open man
O'Neil admitted that a year ugo,
he may not have seen Harris on
that play
"The play was supposed to
he a rjuii k pass, hut it wasn't
there,'' O'Neil said "I was
ready to run it. and then Ron
nie broke open A year ago, I
may have run it "
The pass to Harris was the
big play of ihe game for O'Neil,
but hu had other passes that
demonstrated how < nr.fi dent he
was feeling In the pocket.
In the first quarter, O'Neil
threw a picture-perfect pass to
tight end Willie Tate down the
sideline for a 17-yard gain that
sol up the pass to Harris. He
demonstrated his scrambling
ability again, rolling right and.
instead of running, throw an
other pass right on the numbers
to l ate for a 20 yard gain He
even threw a pretty timing pass
to Anthony (ones on first down
for 2<l yards that set up an Ore
gun field goal
Each play, by itself, was not
as impressive as the fact that
they all came within a 10-min
ute span O'Neil ended the first
quarter seven of nine passing
for 100 yards He only cnmjdet
ed seven passes the rest of the
game because Oregon was get
ting the Job done on the
ground, which was fine with
O'Neil
"Every game, It gets easier
and easier.” O'Neil said "The
whole game isn't rifling on my
shoulders. We can do anything
we want, the only thing stop
ping us is ourselves."

than 10 minutes, but could
only manage to score on the
Harris reception.
Oregon kicker Tommy
Thompson kicked the first of
his five field goals early in the
second quarter to push the
Duck lead to 10-0, hut then the
Ducks began to make the kind
of mistakes that led to their
downfall in the season's first
two games.
Oregon quarterback Danny
O’Neil fumbled a snap at tfie
Oregon 15-yard line, and three
plays later Arizona State run
ning back Jo rone Davison
scored on a one-yard run to get
the Sun Devils on the score
board After another Thompson
field goal, the Ducks got the
ball track on an Interception by
Alex Molden. But two plays lat
er, running back Kicky Whittle
fumbled and Sun Devil line
backer Brett Wallerstedt re
turned the ball to the Oregon
20-yard lino.
Oregon appeared to have Ari
zona State stalled at the 28-yurd
line, but an offsides penalty on
the Ducks gave the Sun Devils
another chance. Throe plays
later, Arizona Main quarterDacK
Garrick McGoe hit a wide open
George Montgomery streaking
down the right sideline for a
touchdown to glvo the Sun
Devils a 14-13 lead with only
f>4 seconds left in the half.
"The defense messed up,"
Oregon linebacker )oe Harwell
said. "It was a mental mistake
on our part."
Oregon got a big lift before
halftime when kick returner
Donovan Moore took the kick
off at the goal line and returned
it to the Oregon 4B-yard line
O'Neil completed passes to
Harris and Derrick Deadwiler to
sot up a 36-yard field goal by
Thompson. Thompson's kick
gave the Ducks a 16-14 halftime
lead. .
"That field goal was a big
play," Drixrks said. "After they
scored we were a little down,
but the kick rescued us. I'm
sure it was a downer for Arizo
na State."
Thompson's five field goals
on the day tied an Oregon re
cord, but the junior from Lom
poc. Calif., said tho team win is
more important.
"It Is nicu to got so many op
portunities to help the team,"
Thompson said. "Affor I missed
my first one, my confidence
dropped, but the 51-yarder got
my confidence level back up."
Thompson, who has made
nine of IS field goals this sea
son. has struggled when kick
ing from the right hash line, but
is almost perfect from the cen
ter and left side.
“For a right-footed kicker the
right hash is the toughest be
cause you have to hook it loft,"
Thompson said. "After last
woek, I worked on the right
hash and my stance, and it paid
off today.”
"Tommy is the most talented
