Oregon assistant football coach
John Kamsdell isn't interested in
hearing about how well people
think his receivers are playing.
He knows they can play hetter.
Kamsdell was understandably
pleased with senior split end rtor
rick Deadwiler's record-setting
performance last week. But
Kamsdell wasn't completely sat
isfied.
"Derrick Deadwiler had 200*
some yards." Kamsdell said. "But
he also had the possibility for a
lot more. There were a couple of
times where the other guy just
barely (.aught him."
Deadwiler's 11 catch®* for a
Oregon record 234 yards against
California was one reason Rams
dell can say that the Duck
receivers have met his expecta
tions for the early stages of the
season. More than performances,
though, the receiving corps'
potential is what excites Rarns
dell
"They've got a chance to be as
good as any group we've had in
the post few' years." he said
"They're making plays we
haven't been making in the past
couple of veers. They're (etching
the ball dinip."

In cooperation with Bonneville Power Administration
and Dameron Ricketts and split
end Kory Murphy have seen
action for the Ducks this year.
Oregon's offense has been
delivering big plays more fre
quently than most Duck teams in
recent years, and this year's group
of rereivers has been a major part
of that success.
"These guys have the ability to
make the big play They can do
something with the ball after the
catch." Ramsdell said.
However. Ramsdell sit,.!. the
receivers don't deserve all of the
credit.
"Danny (O'Neil) has I wen more
accurate delivering the ball this
vear," he said.“And our protec
tion's been better. We re just at
the end of the chain." he said.
Throwing the ball deep has
done more than just provide extra
excitement. Ramsdell said Ore
gon receivers can make the hig
play help open up the rest of the
offense while making their own
lives easier.
“At Oregon, we've always
believed in trying to keep the
opposition off balance,” he said.
"It's also important for our
receivers that we’re not always
throwing quick passes."
Ramsdell gave his scouting
report on the strengths of each
receiver:
• Deadwiler: "Derrick's very
explosive. He's a quick guy. and
he's very good at running with
the ball after the catch. He's
excitement."
• McLemore: "He's outstand
ing in terms of catching the ball.
He has excellent range and can
make the tougli catch. He's acro
batic . and he's a tough competi
tor." ,
w I lu > VtTIV IJUll.K
and has great separation skills
Before he got hurl he was prob
ably our best route runner.”
• Brown: "He's a tough guv
He's got great hail-catching skills
He's kind of our dependable,
journeyman receiver. "
• Ru ketts He's young and
he's got great potential. He's
just getting started for us, but he
can really play He's going to be
a great asset lor us."
The youth of the receiving
corps is one reason Ramsdell is
hoping for continued improve
ment Mcliuuore and Murphy are
sophomores, and Ricketts is a
freshman.
"The younger they are. the
more they have to learn, ' he said.
Ramsdell said demands had
been especially heavy on Mur
phy. who is doubtful for Satur
day's game because of a knee
injury.
"We have asked Kory to play a
lot of positions, probably more
than we’ve ever asked from a
young receiver, and he's respond
ed very well," Ramsdell said.
Head coach Rich Brooks also
praised the receivers this week,
but warned of a USC secondary
that is "fast and physical."
"Our receiving corps is doing
an outstanding job. With Kory
out. the others have stepped it up
and are doing a terrific job," he
said.
Ramsdell said the Ducks will
have to continue to step up their
level of play in order to compete
with tougher opponents as the
season progresses, but he
doesn't think that will he a
problem.
"I believe we're just getting
started." he said. "I don't see
these guys being satisfied with
what they've done so far. They're
looking for improvement and try
ing to get better.”
