The Huskies are returning to Autzen Stadium for the first lime in four vi os and are ranked No. 1 in the country by the Associated Press. The Ducks are coming off a .12-10 embarrassment at the hands of DSC last week, are 1-2 in the Pacific-10 Conference and fighting to stay alive in the Pac-10 race. But the question for the Ducks is. what exactly are they racing for? A Hose Bowl bid is just not an option at this point, so is it a race to go undefeated the rest of the season? Very doubtful. Is it a race to finish in the top half of the Pac-10? That’s rea sonable Is it a race to get a bowl bid? Perhaps But none of those options will be easily attainable — barring a miracle without a victory over Washing ton on Saturday. in two of Oregon's three losses this year, it basically gave the games away with costly turnovers Last week, the Ducks highly-tout ed special teams were directly responsible for USC's first 2ti points Those three losses have the Ducks facing the most unenviable task in the country this week: Beat Wash ington your season depends on it Oregon has a two-game winning streak against the Huskies at home, winning in both 19H7 and 1988. Don lames, Washington's 17-year head com h. knows what its like to play the Ducks at Autzen. Pho«o By Because Oregon held USC to 226 yards of total offense last week, Washing ton coach Don James said the Duck defense "looks... better than ours." “Oregon’s tough to play," he said. "We've had a lot of close games against them at both stadiums, and we've lost a lot of them. The games i are really hard-fought. 1 think Kich i Drooks is one of the best coaches in I the country.” I The Huskies have been able to maintain an 19-game winning streak over two seasons by defeating the likes of Nebraska. DSC and Califor nia this season. Because of those nationally ranked challenges, the I Huskies are currently ranked dead last in the rushing defense depart- i ment among I’ac-10 teams. : That won’t matter for Oregon if it i continues to bobble the ball on Sat- ( urday. ”1 think (the stats) are very mis- I leading," Oregon head coach Rich s Brooks said. "There's the old saying statistics can lie'. Well, I think they're ying big-time about (Washington's iefense). Their defense, statistically, nay not be at the top of the league, nit their takeaway capability cer ainly is.” That's not gixxl news for the Ducks. Oregon is averaging three fumbles ind three turnovers a game this sea on and the Huskies will surely take idvantage of any Oregon miscues tolding on to the ball. liven if the Ducks are able to hold in to the ball, the odds are still tacked heavily against them The nan carrying those odds against Ore on is Napoleon Kaufman. Kaufman, a sophomore running sick, started his first game of the sea on for Washington last week against California and ran for 20B yards He has gained 4B5 yards so far this sea son and could he the best {sack m the Par.-10. "The key to containing Kaufman probably lies in playing 12 or 1.1 guvs on defense.'" Brooks said "We don’t have anyone that is as last as him on defense, so the important thing is not to give him a lot of running room The other offensive weapon in the Husky arsenal comes m the form of two quarterbacks, Mark Brunell and Billy Joe Hubert Brunell will start on Saturday for the first time this season Hubert and Brunell have split time at quarterlwick all season, with the second-stringer coming in during the sei ond quarter The quarterbacks don't seem to be to fond of the system, hut Washing ton head coach Don James has proven it can work and has no plans of changing his system on Saturday "We've done what we've said we'd do." James said "The backup plays in the second quarter and we reeval uate at halftime as to who's going to start the second half." Brooks doesn't expect James to change his system either "James is going to play them both," he sail). "You have to defend their system, not just their quarterback." Brunell is excited to return to the role he played two years ago. when he led the Huskies to the Rose Bowl "It's difficult for Billy and I shar ing time," Bmnell said. "There's pres sure to get things going right off the bat. Billy's felt that pressure, now it's rny turn Two years ago 1 was the starter, and I think I'm a (letter quar terback now " Turn to HUSKIES.
