Brooks’ blame well deserved
Last week, only a few days
before the Civil War foot
ball game. Oregon head
coach Rich Brooks pleaded with
Duck fan* and the media not to
blame his player* for this sea
son. but rather blame him
Brooks told everyone to stick
with hi* team.
Well, about 30.000 Duck fan*
stuck with Oregon Saturday1 at
Autzen Stadium and watched
Brooks blow it.
Never has Brooks' comments
prior to a game been more
applicable Don't blame his
players, blame him.
You didn't need Brooks to tell
you that. All you needed was to
be at Saturday's game. Or at
least watching it in the comfort
of your own home, like I should
have done.
True, Oregon's offense sput
tered. but the Duck defense
played one of its best games the
year. And thanks to the defense.
Oregon was in position to win
the final game of the season and
finish fi-5 Nothing to brag
about, but a lot better than what
did happen.
Now this is not a column call
ing for Brooks' head. Thankful
ly. this is my final year at Ore
gon. so I could care less if
Brooks stays or not. What is
upsetting is that I've gone to this
school for four years and never
saw Oregon beat the Beavers at
home. Two years ago. Oregon
State embarrassed us 14-3 at
Autzen.
I have friends at Oregon State,
not to mention a wicked step
mom who is a Beaver fan. so los
ing to Oregon State is a hum
bling experience for mo to say
Dave Charbonneai
the least. But twice in four
years? At home?
On Saturday. Brooks and his
coaching staff played tail
bet ween-the-legs football, taking
the game away from his players.
Brooks has become synony
mous with the cliche, “he was
playing not to lose, rather than
playing to win." And Saturday
was a prune example of that
Oregon somehow grabbed a
12-7 lead and then the defense
got tough and stopped the
Beavers on fourth and two, tak
ing the ball over on their own 40
vardline.
The Ducks had prime field
position with just more than
eight minutes left in the game
But somehow. Brooks thought
that with a five point lead, he
could run out the clock by keep
ing the hail on the ground. Nev
er mind that the Ducks' only
touchdown drive of the game
came in the third quarter when
quarterback Danny O'Neil threw
the ball nine of the 10 plays on
the drive and completed six of
those passes.
Suddenly. Brooks seemed to
think the Ducks could establish
a running game in the final eight
minutes. Sure they only had 10
yards rushing up to that point,
but God forbid we throw the ball
and try to get another touch
down
So, Oregon runs two stupid
running plays up the middle.
Both plays lose yardage. Appar
ently. it's taken Oregon State
coach |errv Petti bone only three
years to figure out what Brooks'
game plan is for the Civil War:
Get the lead and sneak out with
the win. Brooks did it last year,
and he tried to do it Saturday.
Pettibone outsmarted him
again.
Third and 14 rolled around
and O'Neil dropped hack to
pass, deciding not to run the
popular Oregon third and 14
draw play. O'Neil got sacked.
Then. Tommy Thompson gets a
bad snap and gets tackled at the
Oregon 24
A few plays later, the Beavers
take the lead.
Oregon gets the ball back, has
its drive stall, and Brooks calls
for the punt with three minutes
left in the game.
What a shocker!
Oregon State runs out the
clock, and Oregon loses its sec
ond consecutive Civil War at
Autzen.
No matter what anyone says,
the players did not lose that
game. They played hard when
they really had no reason to play
hard. It’s very unfortunate when
seniors like Romeo Bandison —
who had a remarkable game —
Ernest Jones. Tommy Thompson
and Derrick Deadwiler have to
end on such a crappy note, espe
cially whon their own coach
didn't even give them a chance
to win.

O’Neil named Oregon’s top player
Junior quarterback Danny O'Neil was presented
the Hoffman Award as the team's most outstand
ing player Sunday at the University of Oregon foot
hall banquet.
O'Neil's selection in balloting by members of the
Ducks' squad marked only the second time in the
last seven years that the year's top award has gone
to a representative of the offensive unit.
O'Neil became the third quarterback in Pacific
10 Conference history to pass for more than 3,000
yards in a season and established six Oregon one
year records. He passod for 3,224 yards and 22
touchdowns on 223 completions, connected on
fil.fl percent of his passes and accounted for 3,085
yards total offense.
Juan Shedrick was voted the Wil Gonyea Award
as the squad's most inspirational player and
Cristin McLeinore was selected for the Clarke
Award as the team's most improved player. Josh
Wilcox and l.aMont Woods shared the Len
Casanova Award as the top first-year players.

don Wilson Award as the top player on special
teams fur the second straight year after leading the
team in scoring, and Eric Barnes was presented the
Oregon Club of Portland Award in recognition of
his play as the team's most valuable offensive line
man.
To Curran and John Taumoepeau were co-win
ners of the Bob Officer Award to honor team mem
bers who played despite physical adversity and

ter's programs during his playing career, accepted
