Josh Wilcox, giving the Ducks a
comfortable 39-23 lead with just
a little more than five minutes
left in the game.
“We practiced that during the
week," McLemore said. “I was
about to run it. and all of a sud
den I saw |osh pop open. It was
just a pass I threw up there, and
1 think he did a great job coming
to get it."
Oregon got its final points
when junior fullback Dwayne
(ones rumbled 20 yards for a
touchdown, the first of his Ore
gon career The touchdowns by
Wilcox and (ones each culmi
nated four-play drives in the
fourth quarter.

Cougars. The Cougars started
Chad DeCrenier at quarterback,

needed 51 attempts to do so.
The game was tight early on
as the teams exchanged leads
four times in the first half before

down on a pass that O'Neil put
just over the hands of Washing
ton State defensive hack Torey
Hunter. The Ducks went for a
two-point conversion, but
O’Neil's pass to Derrick Dead
wiler was incomplete.

long." O'Neil said of the touch
down pass. "1 just didn't want
the WSU guy to have a chance to
get it. Cristin is just unbeliev
able."
The win put Oregon at 2-3
overall in the Pacific-10 Confer

season. It also gives the Ducks a
much-needed confidence boost
heading into Saturday's game at
conference co-leader Arizona.

boost the team really nigh. We
should be fired up next week "
