The episode made McClana
han an instant colebritv on i am
pus wfiun it aired during liis
redshirt year However, over the
past three and a half years it Inis
been Mi Clanahan's play on the
field that has made people take
noth e.
McClauahan exploded onto the
Pacific- 10 Confereni e scene dur
ing bis sophomore year in 1901
when he tied for the league lead
with 144 tai kles He followed
that up with 140 tackles last year,
placing him second in the Pa< ■
10.
Kxpectotions were high enter
ing ibis season when McClana
tian was named to numerous
all-American teams and listed as
a i andidate for the Hutkus
Award, given to the nations best
linebacker Mi Clanahan has not
skipped a beat, compiling Hti
tat kies in eight games so far this
year
McClauahan is a great line
bat ker," (Iregon head coach Rich
Brooks said It is not hard to
know where he is on the field
He's usually where the ball is
Brooks has gotten to know
McClauahan well over the last
two years, as the linebacker has
made ill tackles against the
Dm ks. although the Dm ks have
won both games McClauahan
says the tackles are nice, but he
is looking for a victory over the
Ducks this Saturday.
"I have the same feeling I had
against l ISC." Me ( I.mall.in said
about another team he is yet to
I lent Oregon is a team I am look
ing for us to get a win against
One advantage the Ifucks may
have this weekend is that the
game is not nationally televised,
,1 factor that Mi ( lanahan says
inspires him to play at a higher
level.
"When a game is on I \ . I usu
ally have a gnsit game, Mi Clana
hail said "I'll probably have an
okay game Saturday I am mure
excited yvhen the game is oil TV
because its not just for yourself,
but for every one to see If I mess
up Saturday only the people at
the game will know it
Mi ('.lanahan has made a name
for himself off the field as well
for his outspoken attitude He
called the Din ks dirty" earlier
this year, but saves his strongest
comments for Arizona State, a
team the ( sugars heat -44 ear
lier this season
"1 don't like ASlMi (Jana
hail said." I'lioy play like a team
that is not a football team Titov
play to beat you up."
Mi (llanahaii is an avid out
doorsman who especially eii|oys
hunting, and he I.ikes that
demeanor on the field as vyell
"When 1 am on the field it is
like when I'm hunting."
Mi Clanahan said "I am trying
to bring borne the big kill 1
think of the running back as a
deer."
McClanahan says he want to
someday work outdoors as a
game warden, but he hopes that
is after a long career in the
NFL.
