"I really believe this team has an opportunity to be better than last year's group." Brooks said. "But to do that wo obviously have to come out of the chute much better. The consistency of our offense is what we also must improve on if we want to be a contender in November for the Rose Bowl.” Oregon’s season-opening 24 21 loss to Hawaii last year marked the first time since 10(13 that a Duck team dropped its first game. The Ducks followed that disappointment bv losing their conference opener to Stan ford. 21-7. the next week. The schedule will not make it easy for (he Ducks to gel out of the blocks quickly Ibis season, as they open the season with four out of five games on the road. The Ducks have won only four of their last 14 road games, with two of those wins coming at Oregon Stale. However, this year's team says it is not affected by either the schedule or unfriendly fans. "I love playing on the road.” Oregon senior wide receiver Derrick Deadwiler said. "The crowds don’t bother me; plus. 1 really love to travel." That type of attitude is to be expected from the vetorans on the team, but it appears to have rubbed off on the younger play ers as well.

"We have to keep our cool on the road because you ran get sidetracked, but if you keep your head in the game, everything should be all right " The Ducks opened the season at Colorado State before return ing home to face Montana. This weekend Oregon travels to Big Ten country to meet Illinois in its final non-conference game. The Pile -10 schedule begins Oct. 2 at California and includes later visits to Arizona State, Wash ington and Arizona For the third consecutive sea son. Danny O'Neil will be the man in charge of directing the offense. The junior from New port Beach, Calif., put his name among esteemed company last year when he became the fourth quarterback in school history to threw for more than 2,000 yards in a season Only Bill Musgrave, Chris Miller and Dan Fouls have sur passed O’Neil's total of 2,132 yards in 1992. With 17 college starts behind him. O'Neil said he feels more comfortable than ever with the starting role. ‘Tve put away the little things that bothered me." O'Neil said. "Now I (an just come out, make reads and throw the football, and 1 am anxious to do that.” O'Neil will have familiar com pany in the backfield as he is joined by tailliacks Sean Burweil and Ricky Whittle and fullback Juan Shedrick. That trio has a combined 50 starts at Oregon. Burweil is Oregon's second all time leading rusher, and Whittle gained 634 yards on the ground a year ago. Brooks said he is excited about his options in the back field. “We have some sets with one back, some with a fullback and a tailback and others with two tailbacks. How much we use those will depend on how they work early in the season," ho said. The experienced backfield should take some pressure off of a talented, but inexperienced, group of receivers. Deadwiler and Brian Brown, who has struggled with injuries in his career, are the only seniors Turn to BROOKS, Page 18B L'oih Ye.ir Number *05 fu^cne, Oregon.
