Not only are the Ducks winless in their last four games and in the Pacific-10 Conference, but the Washington Huskies (3-1 Pac-10, 4-2 overall) come marching into Eugene seeking revenge for two straight losses against Oregon (0-4 Pac-10,3-4 overall). The good news for the Ducks is the return of several players who have been seeing limited action ih the last couple of games. A bye last weekend gave Oregon a much needed rest. “I would say this is the healthi est we’ve been since the first or second game,” head coach Mike Bellotti said. “Hopefully we’ll get Mark Schmidt back. He hasn’t re ally played in the last two games. Bryant Jackson has been hobbling with foot and ankle problems. But a week off is not going to change that. He’s just playing through the pain. “The two biggest gains this THE RECENT YEARS 1995 1994 1993 1992 1991 1990 1989 1988 1987 1986 Ducks Ducks Huskies Huskies Huskies Huskies Huskies Ducks Ducks Huskies 24-22 31-20 21-6 24-3 29-7 38-17 20-14 17-14 29-22 38-3 (Seattle) (Eugene) (Seattle) (Eugene) (Seattle) (Seattle) (Seattle) (Eugene) (Eugene) (Seattle) week are outside linebackers Reg gie Jordan and Derrick Barnes. Certainly the week off last week and the extra rehab time should help them dramatically. More im portantly, getting those four guys back'will take the fond off of-our redshirt freshmen.” The Ducks’ defense will be test ed against Washington’s running game. The Huskies are averaging about 32 points and 162 rushing yards a game. Leading the pack is Corey Dillon, who has rushed for 648 yards this season including a 145-yard, five-touchdown game last weekend against UCLA. Rashaan Shehee, Washington’s leading rusher last season, has seen limited action in recent weeks after injuring his foot when jumping off a balcony at a party. He did not play against the Bruins and is questionable for Saturday. Oregon defensive coordinator Rich Stubler called both Dillon and Shehee excellent players. "Dillon can really run the foot ball,” Stubler said. “He’s abehind the-pads, no-nonsense kind of runner. “Shehee is a different guy. He will dart to the hole. He picks a place, sees it and lowers his pads. And he’s a load at 225 [pounds]. If he gets into the open field he has got the speed to break it. ” Defensively, the Huskies bring strongside linebacker Jason Chorak, who already has 10 sacks and 15.5 tackles-for-losses this season. But it is Washington's in side linebackers who are the real threats. John Fiala and Ink Aleaga have combined for 111 tackles this season. Bellotti believes this powerful trio will keep the Ducks’ offensive line on its toes. “Washington’s front four come with reckless abandon,” Bellotti said, “and occasionally they’ll send in the safeties and inside linebackers, which puts added pressure on the line to determine Turn to PREVIEW, Page 8B DO YOUR PART.
