Let Oregon running back Kicky Whittle tell how it started "They were talking trash and gi\ ing us little push-offs.” Whit tle snid "They pushed off on our offense and our offense pushed back I guess that's how it started The trash-talking for this year's matchup began weeks before the game when Washing ton Stole All-American line bai ker Anthony McClanahan was quoted as i oiling the Dm ks "dirty.” However, it was the Cougars' dirly ploy that ended up hurting them last Saturday, as they com mitted 1 1 penalties, including three personal fouls that result ed in Hi Oregon points A personal foul on McClona han on Oregon's first possession gave the Ducks a first down.

Washington State's Torey Hunter was called for a non-oon tai t personal foul away from the hall, giving Oregon a first down Oregon wide receiver (iristm MoLemore told reporters after wards what happened "1 cut him. rolled him up and blocked him good."

Mi I.emore said I usually don't do that, but I did Washington State's third per sonal tout came after a five-yard loss by Whittle on first down So, instead of giving Oregon a second doyvn and 13 yards at the Washington State 35 yard line. Oregon had first and 10 at tfie 50 yard line Three plavs lat er Oregon scored again, on a pass from MoLemore to tight end Josh Wilcox, giving the Dm ks a 39-23 lead "They pushed off on me a couple of times," Whittle said. "Hut we don't have time for that. As vou saw. two times we rushed down in four plays and scored It's probably no coincidence that all the trash-talking oi i urred in a game that marked the return of Oregon fullback Juan Shedrii k Shedrii k is well known for Ins ability to talk dur ing liif game, wither to pump up his team or frustrate another. Shodrick was not exported to play Ins ause of an elbow injury, but he did, and he let the Cougars know right away "I ran bat k and said I'm out here. I'm hack.'" Shodrick said after the game Shedric k irritated a few Cougars with his voice during Oregon's win over the Cougars last vear, but he said they did not cooperate yvith Ins conversa tion starters on Saturday. "They know I like to talk," Shodrick said. "Today they didn't talk to me that much. They said. Why do you keep coming at me?' and I said Because I like you guys."' Whittle explained just what it is that Shedric k does to irritate the opponent during a game "Juan got under McClann han's skin last game and this game," Whittle said. "Kor some reason, he can’t take the little i omments Juan say s one-liners ami it really gets Mi Clanahan crazy, gets him out of his game. "Basically it is just one-liners. When fie comes up with them, y\e look at each other, give a smirk .Hid say, 'He's hack ' The thing about it is you never hear hull repeat the same one. it's real funny " Mi (llanahttii had nine tackles Saturday, hut was not a major factor in the game lie had no quarterback sacks, and O'Neil said the only times McClanahau bothered him was "in the piles.” Oregon's ability to keep its composure and pic k tip only five penalties, including no per sonal fouls, was a big reason why the Ducks were able to get a big win over the Cougars. "We pride ourselves on not retaliating and getting stupid penalties." Mi lemore said "We did that very well." Whittle said the Ducks prefer to just play the game, and do the retaliating afterwards "You do your duty," Whittle said "Then talk trash." Our Shoes are more Comfortable than Our Seats! *
