Ducks look sharp in first half
before surviving Grizzly scare
By Stove Mims
»»0on
Oregon buret out of the block*
quickly in it* home opener against
Montana Sept. It. but the Ducks
had to hold on at the end to beat
the Grizzlies 35-30 at Autzen Sta
dium
The win raised Oregon's record
to 2-0 on the season, but head
coach Rich Brook* was not pleased
with hit team's performance
against the Division l-AA Grizzlies
"It wasn't pretty.” Brooks said.
"The most disappointing thing
today was our lack of improvement
from the Colorado State game
There are a lot of things I am not
happy about."
The Ducks appeared to l>e on
their way to an easy victory when
they scored touchdowns on their
first three possessions and led 21-0
early in the second quarter
Oregon got on the scoreboard
first when quarterback Danny
O'Neil found Derrick Deadwiler for
a 14-yard touchdown, culminating
a 13-play, 82-yard drive. O'Neil
came right back on Oregon’s next
possession and found sophomore
wide receiver Crist in McLemoro on
a seven-yard crossing pattern to
boost the lend to 14-0.
The Ducks' lead reached 21-0
when junior college transfer Dino
Philyaw scored on a seven-yard
touchdown run around the left end
just 3fi seconds into the second
quarter
’ I am pleased with what we did
offensively early in the game."
Brooks said. "I think our intensity
and execution dropped as the game
went on; maybe we thought it
would be that easy all game "
Oregon got its biggest lead of the
game when O’Neil lofted a 25-yard
touchdown pass to Kory Murphy
for the sophomore receiver’s first
collegiate store O'Neil had anoth
er steady game for Oregon, com
pleting 21 of 28 passe* for 116
yards and three touchdowns.
Just when everyone in the stadi
um thought Oregon had the game
in the bag. Montana head coach
Don Read replaced quarterback
Bert Wilberger with Dave Dicken
son. who made sure the rest of the
game was not easy for the Ducks.
Dickenson found receiver Shalon
Baker with a five-yard touchdown
pass to cut Oregon’s lead to 2H-9
at halftime.
The second half was a different
game than the first half, as Montano
outscored Oregon 21-7 and almost
pulled off the upset.
The Grizzlies put together an 11
play. 84-yard drive to start the soc
ond half that ended with an
It-yard scoring pass from Dicken
son to Matt Wells.
Oregon responded with a 13-play
drive of its own that resulted in a
seven-yard touchdown run by
Ricky Whittle to give Oregon a
seemingly safe 35-16 lead with 5:56
left in the third quarter.
Dickenson and the Grizzlies did
not go away, but instead ran their
wide-open offense and the Ducks'
defense all over the Field Montana
played as many as five receivers at
some points of the game, leaving
Dickenson with single coverage
once ho evaded the Oregon rush
"They gained wny too many
yards and scored too many points
because we didn't contain the quar
terback or tackle well." Brooks
said. "If we do those things. I don't
think Montana would have scored
nearly as many (mints."
Following the Whittle touch
down run. Dickenson completed
five of six passes and gained 15
yards rushing, before running four
yards for a touchdown to cut Ore
gon's lead to 35-23.
Oregon came right back and
appeared ready to score again
when fullback Pulou Malepeai
fumbled the ball on the Montana
one-yard line and the Grizzlies
recovered in the end zone for a
touchback.
Dickenson led the Grizzlies hack
with an 80-yard drive that took just
more than two minutes and culmi
nated with a six-yard scoring pass
to Mike Krhardt. cutting Oregon s#
lead to 35-30 with 1:55 remaining
in the game.
The Grizzlies almost recovered •
the onsuing onside kickoff when
Oregon safety Brian Collins tipped
the ball, but the Ducks fell on it and
ran out the clock.
Oregon will next put its unbeat
en record on the line when the
Ducks travel to Champagne. III., to
face Illinois of the Big 10 this Sat
urday.

Montana’s magic QB saws Oregon in half
By Dave Charbonneau
Oregon On <:y tmtnaki
Oregon head coai h Rit.li Brooks entered
Montana's interview room shortly after
the game and offered his hand to driz
zly head coat h Ik a Read
"That's one hell uf a quarterti.it k you
got there." Brooks said "He's quite an
escape artist You got him going to « hool
with Houdini, or what?
Dave Dit keiistH j Vfittit it), 175-pound
sophomore, threw ovrfr, ran away from,
and sometimes %juI led over the Duck
defenders, nearly orchestrating one of tfie
most incredible and for Oregon, most
humiliating comebacks Autzen Sta
dium has ever seen
For the 2.000 or so Montana fans in
attendance. Dickenson’s performance was
|mr« magic. For Dm k fans, it was a living
hell.
Dickenson, playing in only his set ond
game ever lor the ('.rizzlies, completed 2H
of 4r passes for 124 yards, and also ran
for 89 on 12 carries, leading Division T
AA Montana to 530 yards in total offense
But Dh kenson’s big trii k was Ins abil
ity to elude the vit ions Oregon rush After
a while, the game started to resemble the
Tom and Jnrry Shot*, with Oregon play
ing the stupid cat and Die kenson playing
the wily, sneaky mouse
"Their little quarterhai k was a night
mare." Brooks said "We couldn't get a
handle on him He made us look foolish
out there We've got him sacked seven or
eight times, and we're grabbing air I've
got to give him credit, he played a great
game "

Even when the Ducks could get ahold
of him. the undersized quarterbai k
