Smith silences QB controversy Akili Smith shredded the Spartans’ secondary for 266yards and four TD's By Rob Moseley Associate Editor When Akili Smith came to Eu gene from Grossmont Junior Col lege in the fall of 1997, Jason Maas was entering his fourth year in the Oregon program and first with the opportunity to start at quarter back. Maas spent three years learning under successful Duck passers Danny O’Neil, Tony Graziani and Ryan Perry-Smith, but he had only nine career completions un der his belt. With a high-powered offense that included eventual league-rushing champion Saladin McCullough, the fleet Patrick Johnson at wide receiver and sure-handed Blake Spence at tight end, Maas seemed primed for a breakout year under center. But before Maas had a chance to take even the first snap of his junior season, in stepped Smith, the athletic slinger from Califor nia who immediately won the praise of Mike Bellotti and the Ducks' starting quarterback posi tion in fall camp. Maas played in each of the Ducks' first two games, both Smith starts, and eventually got the starting nod himself for game three. Again, Smith played in that contest, and eventually the two shared playing time at quarter back in all but three of Oregon's games, including the Las Vegas Bowl. Entering 1998, both quarter backs were faced with the fact that head coach Mike Bellotti would bench one of them. "I would like to name a [full time] starter," Bellotti said during fall camp. But, he continued, "1 think competition is a great way to label it.” Well, if it is a competition, then Smith seems to be the winner, as it was he who started each of the Ducks’ first two games, wins over Michigan State and UTEP. Against the Spartans, Smith had possibly his best game as a Duck. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound se nior passed for 266 yards on 15 of 25 passing, including four touch downs, one a miraculous scram ble-and-throw to Bobby Nero that seemed to amaze even Bellotti.
