That lead looked like it would

"I'm disappointed to see the
game turn on a break," Brooks

defense ployed perhaps its l>est
game of the year, the offense was

completing 15 of M yards for

solely with O’Neil, as his
ret eivers dropped several pass

The running game was invisi

ing rusher was Rurwull with 1T>
yards Ric ky Whittle gained only
12 yards on seven carries, and
the Ducks finished with a net of
five yards on 22 carries
"We hit a few runs early,''
Brooks said "But they hit us in
the mouth most of the rest of the
time, and we didn't do a good
job."
On the other side. Oregon
State players felt they ployed
their best defensive garni" this
season, if not ever as a unit.
"Our defense ployed the l>est
game I've ever been on the field
for," Oregon State linebacker
Tony O'Billovich said "We
were running a lot of coverages,
and everyone stepped up today
It was phenomena!. "
As for tiu" Ducks, (be domina

series, when they went 15 con

now gone The two teams have
split the last si\ meetings
Oregon is left now to think
about the disappointment of fin
ishing 5-(> after beginning the
season with Rose Bowl aspira
tions.
" This season's been a major
disappointment." Oregon tight
end Willy Tate said afterwards.
"We came in with high aspira
tions. we heat a tough Illinois
team and thought we had a real
shot at being in bowl considera
tion. We didn't win the games
lie needed to win, and that
sums it up."
O'Neil summed it up even
more dirta tly.
"It’s just been a disaster, real
ly." O'Neil said "It's just a big
downer."

"A couple years ago, we got

Although the Beavers fin
ished 2-f> in the Pacific-10
Conference, the team met its
goal of winning four games,
something that happens on
the average of about once
every decade in Corvallis
On the other side. Oregon
wasn't starting to talk about
next season It was still trying
to sort out what happened this
year.
The last game, like too
many other games this season,
didn't go the way Oregon had
wanted it to
''We've got a lot of talunt
coining back, we've got a lot of
talent leaving," Oregon tight
end Willv Tate said "You'd
be hard pressed to think of a
worse way to go out than
this."
After the game, Oregon
State coach |err\ F’ettibone,
like many of his young play
ers, had started talking about
nest season
" This is an encouragement
for our coaches to go and
recruit and for all of the play
ers on our team who are going
to be back and dedicate them
selves to working hard in the
off-season and getting ready to
have a great spring practice
and the kind of season we'd
like to have next year," he
said.
Oregon head coach Rich
Brooks said that Oregon's sea
son wouldn't have lieen a suc
cess even if the Ducks had
won on Saturday
"To me, it's a very impor
tant game to win and we failed
to do it and that's extremely
disappointing," Brooks said If
“To me, it's a very
important game
to win and we
failed to do it and
that’s extremely
disappointing
Rich Brooks
U of 0 football coach
Oregon had won, "We'd have
been 6-5 :i-5 in the league, and
I would still be very disap
pointed about the result of this
season.”
It wasn't the type of Civil
War game Duck fans were
accustomed to. Oregon is used
to being bigger and faster than
the Beavers. It's used to hav
ing better athletes and more
talent. All these distinctions
weren't as clear on Saturday
afternoon as they used to be. If
Oregon State's program is
going the way Beaver coaches
and players believe its going,
that may be the case for some
time.
