Arizona options to beat Oregon
By Steve Mims

Arizona hood coach Dick
Tomey chose the correct option,
ditching his pro-style offense and
inserting running back Chu< k
Lew in to run the option, which
had been on Arizona's shelf
recently.
Levy ran for 128 yards and
three touchdowns in Arizona's
31-10 victory over Oregon Sat
urday in Tucson. Ariz. Levy has
seen limited time at quarterback
this year, usually in short-yardage
situations, but he ran the offense
masterfully Saturday.
Tomey changed his offensive
philosophy this season, switch
ing from an option attack in
recent years to a pro-style offense
The offense was built with 6-foot
5 sophomore transfer Dan White
in mind, but White had struggled
all year and was rated ninth in
the conference in passing.
White and backup Brady Hat
ten were injured in Arizona's loss
at UCLA, hut were probably
healthv enough to play on Sat
urday. However, Oregon head
coach Rich Brooks said last week
that he wouldn't be surprised if
Levy saw some action at quar
terback. Levy saw enough action
to make Brooks sick Saturday.
Arizona ran on every offensive
plav but one Saturday, finishing
with 389 yards on the ground In
addition to Lew. Arizona tail
back Ontiwaun tarter ran the bail
20 times for 12™ yards and a
touchdown.
Meanwhile, the Wildcats'
famed Desert Swarm defense lim
ited Oregon to 10 yards rushing
on 'i'i carries, an average of A
yards [>er carry Oregon's running
game never got on track, as
injured Sean Burwell ran only
twice and Ricky Whittle gained
only 15 yards on five carries.
Arizona came out right awav
and drove the hall 70 yards on lt>
plays before Lev v took the ball
into the end zone from one vard

before Lew stored on a three
yard run to give Arizona a 14-0

Arizona got the ball bat k late
in the first half, but instead of
slowly torturing Oregon's defense
again. Levy outran the Duck
defenders down the right side
line for a 48-yard touchdown,
giving Arizona a 21-0 lead at half
time.
I was very disappointed how
we started the game. Brooks
said. "(Arizona) took the fight to
us in the first half very well and
hammered us We didn't do a
good job at the line of scrimmage
in the first .to minutes of the
game on either side of the ball
Oregon seemed to get the mes

drove into Arizona territory twite
