OREGON VS WASHINGTON STATE
Cougars limp into Saturday’s game
■ WASHINGTON STATE: The
injured Cougars look to
their run defense to stop
Oregon Saturday
By Pete Schneider
S0Oft§
One of the only blemishes on
Oregon'* Rom Bowl season last
year was an ugly, injury-plagued
joss to the Washington Slate
Cougars in Pullman. On Satur
day, the Cougars will come to
Aut/en Stadium, and this time
around, it is Washington State
that is banged up
The Cougars (3-3 overall. 2-1
in I’m 10) will !«■ without three
key players when they take on
the 12th-ranked Ducks Tailhat k
Derek Sparks, middle linebacker
James Darling and reserve free
safety Derek Henderson are all
listed as questionable, but at cord -
mg to Cougar head coach Mike
Price, they will not play.
"1 think rnv main concern nght
now is the health of our team."
Price said "The CSC loss last
week was physical and we're all
bruised up It i one erns me that
we play liie No 12 team in the
( ountry without three of our
main starters
If Washington State is to enjov
any offensive sut I ess on Satur
day. the Cougar running attai k
w ill have to figure out some way
to gain yards against the Ducks*
stingy rushing defense The
Cougars rank ninth in the Pacif
ic U) Conference in total rushing
offense and is not helped by the
loss of Sparks, who has been
averaging ;1H H rushing yards [>er
game.
The Cougars must look to
either senior Frank Madu or
freshman Jason Clayton to fill m
for Sparks Neither one ha* any
IWS starts or has proved that he
can run the hail effectively
“We are not the best running
football team right now." Price
said "We are just going to have
to rail running ploys Cal didn't
run the ball very well against Ore
gon last week, but they only ran
11 rushing play s I think we have
a full complement of running
plays ones that will work to
choose from."
The loss of Henderson in
Washington State's fifth-ranked
pass defense s»s omlarv dot's not
bode well for the Cougars Hen
derson ranks third for Washing
ton State in tackles and was the
secondary's emotional leader
Sophomore Ken Mon*, who has
no starts this season, will fill in
for Henderson
A bright spot for Washington
State is quarterback Chad Davis
The ft-foot-2-inch junior is aver
aging 227.7 yards of total offense
this season and trails only Ore
gon's tailback Ricky Whittle in
Pac-tO total offense, Davis has
thrown only three interceptions
this year and has hooked up w ith
favorite receiver. Eric Moore
(4S.33 yards per game) to con
tribute to more than 1.200 pass
ing yards this season.
Washington State is fifth in the
Pac-10 in rush defense and will
look to sophomore Phillip Glover
to fill in for injured run-stopper
Darting
"I am pleased wtih Phillip
(Glover)'* performance, hui !
think he c an plnv belter." said
Prii e He (.on took brilliant at
tunes and often shows flashes of
greatness, but at other times he
ran look like a young, inexperi
enced player."
The Cougar rushing defense
statistus are a hit misleading,
considering the fact that the unit
gave up 428 yards on the ground
to Nebraska earlier in the season.
The defense has only allowed sis
rushing touchdowns over the Inst
10 games, dating (>m k to last sea
son
Priiu savs that the team is not
fueling any pressure right now
and that the 12th ranked Din ks
have more to lose on Saturday
"We re talking about one game
and one game only against Ore
gon," he said. “They am the Pm
10 defending champions and
they need this game just as bad
ly as we do for theirchances to
stay m the Hose Howl r.u e 1
think the pressure is on them *
It w as important during the
practice week for Price to caution
his team not expect the same type
of Oregon team that was in Pull
man lost year.
"Ust year we fat ed a team that
was beat up and perhaps a little
discouraged." he said. "The
Ducks this year an' a totally dif
ferent hall club. This team is
healthy, spirited, and has a win
ning attitude, it is also a much
more confident team than we saw
last season.”
