Preview: Bye week gave team a rest
■ Continued from page 3B
responsibility.”
Oregon quarterback Tony Graziani knows he will
be the main target of Washington’s defense.
“They blitz a lot and put a lot of pressure on you,”
he said, “so we’re going to have to make a lot of quick
throws and quick decisions because if you sit back
there and wait, then they’ll sack you. ”
The Ducks’ offense has not been slowed by the in
juries and quarterback shuffle this season. Oregon is
on pace to break season records in total offense, yards
passing, pass attempts and completions, most first
downs and most points scored. But this doesn’t mean
much to a team that has lost four in a row.
“It’s frustrating,” Graziani said. “I think we would
all rather put up bad numbers and win than put up
the kind of numbers we are and still lose. Hopefully
we can turn that around this week.”
Graziani said that the bye week helped the team re
group after a tough loss at Stanford.
“I think it was good,” he said. “It gave us a chance
to clear our heads and get physically healthy.”
Bellotti said it was nice for the players to take time
off from football for the first time since fall camp.
“I think at this point the time off was good for us,”
he said. “We started on Aug. 31, and we have been
going seven-straight weeks in the season. We could
have used a bye two or three weeks ago. It was help
ful because we needed a chance to get away from
football [and] relax a little bit without the stress and
pressure of the situation.”
Although the Ducks were relaxing last weekend,
Bellotti knows his team will be up for Saturday.
“It is obviously a big football game in terms of our
season this year,” he said. “I think every game is im
portant. When you're not winning, each games rises
in terms of its importance.”
He also said it is more important to think about
how the Ducks will play than how the Huskies will
play.
“We’re going to play our best football game, and
we’re going to give a great effort,” Bellotti said.
“We’re going to try to play it for 60 minutes, and
that’s the thing that we need to focus on. It doesn’t
matter who we play. We’re looking at ourselves first
and our play, our consistency. The fact that it’s Wash
ington just makes it that much better for us.”
But Graziani said a win is the most important goal.
“There is big-time pressure because this could be
the turning point of our season if we win,” he said.
“If we win this game and the rest of them, maybe
everyone will forget about the last four.”
Coach: Graz says UW doesn’t respect UO
■ Continued from page 2B
He lobbied the Cotton Bowl to
choose his team, pointing out his
Huskies finished above the Ducks
in the Pacific-10 Conference
standings.
“1 certainly think we deserve
[the Cotton Bowl],” Lambright
told The Columbian on Nov. 19.
“It would be a tremendous shame
if we didn’t get in.”
Lambright was also quoted in
the Nov. 12 Tacoma News-Tri
bune, calling the Ducks’ non-con
ference opponents “some sisters.”
But looking back at his com
ments, Lambright sees no problem
with his statements.
“All 1 did was do what I felt I
had to do to support our football
team and just came out with some
facts about our team, that’s all,”
Lambright said in a press confer
ence this week. “Nothing was ever
meant to downgrade Oregon in
anyway.”
uregon quarterback tony
Graziani said Lambright’s com
ments just show the Huskies’ lack
of respect for Oregon.
“We were just kind of laughing
about it last year. He was making
all of those comments but we
knew we were going to go [to the
Cotton Bowl],” Graziani said. “It
really hasn’t come up a lot this
year, but we know that we still
haven’t earned their respect, even
after two-straight wins. ”
LAMBRIGHT
But the
controversy
of last season
was not limit
ed to Lam
bright. His
players got
their share of
jabs in on the
Ducks and
their fans.
“Through
the years dif
ferent players
or coaches have made comments
that turn up as a billboard materi
al,” said Jerry Allen, the “Voice of
the Ducks.”
And last season it was Husky
quarterback Damon Huard pro
viding the “billboard material” for
Oregon, heading into the Nov. 4
contest.
Huard called the Oregon fans
“35,000 drunk fans,” and added
that Ducks would have to deal
with “Washington’s 75,000 crazy
fans” in 1995.
One year earlier, Huard had
thrown the game into Kenny
Wheaton’s hands with just over a
minute left, and he heard about it
from Oregon fans following the
game. That memory stuck with
Huard, and he was ready for the
Duck fans in 1995.
“The comments I made weren’t
necessarily negative,” Huard said
in a phone interview this week. “It
was just one of those things where
that’s really what happened. After
the game, like three or four Oregon
[fans] came up to me and wanted
to fight me. It just wasn’t classy.
“The comments I made were
the truth, I thought. I didn’t try to
stir up some controversy, 1 was
just answering the questions [the
media] asked me.”
The Huskies’ loss to the Ducks
in Seattle last season seemed to
burn Huard worse than their 1994
defeat.
“We would have been in the
Rose Bowl if we win that game,”
Huard said. “That’s what hurts the
most because it was such a great
comeback in the second half. We
should have won that game. ”
After falling behind by 24
points in the hrst halt, Washington
made a game of it in the second
half, eventually losing 24-22.
Despite his second loss in two
seasons, Huard gave no credit to
the Ducks.
“We should have won. It was a
fluke,” Huard said in the Nov. 5
Tacoma News-Tribune.
