what we’ve been able to accom
plish so far is directly relative to
their development, as well as the
play of our quarterbacks."
Oregon defensive end Saul Patu
sai d he hopes to take advantage of the
inexperienced Wildcat line. Only
guards Yusuf Scott and Edwin Muli
talo are returning starters from 1997.
“They move around a lot for be
ing a big line,” Patu said, "but
they're also a young offensive line,
so we're looking for them to make
some mistakes."
Defensively, Arizona knows it
is faced with a daunting task in
trying to shut down the Pac-10's
No. 1 team in both scoring and to
tal offense.

and Bellotti said that could be the
case again on Saturday.
Arizona boasts a pair of quarter
backs in Keith Smith and Ortege
Jenkins who could test the resolve
of the Oregon defense.
“We’re going to try to keep
those guys contained, because
they’re both good runners,” Ore
gon defensive end Saul Patu said.
Oregon cornerbacks Eric Ed
wards and Rashad Bauman com
bined to limit Trojan all-purpose
threat R. Jay Soward to the lowest
yard total of his career last week.
They will be expected to do the
same against Arizona’s duo of
Dennis Northcutt and Jeremy Mc
Daniel.
“They are probably the best tan
dem of receivers we'll face all year
long,” Bellotti said. “The thing
that makes it difficult is you may
have to cover them longer be
cause of the mobility of Smith and
Jenkins. Those guys can buy time
in the pocket, so it’s not just cov
ering the receivers for 2.8 seconds
or 3.5 seconds. You may end up
having to do it for quite a while.”
While Edwards and Bauman
helped shut down the Trojans top
receiving threat last week, USC’s
cornerbacks reciprocated. Ore
gon’s leading receiver, Damon
Griffin, who was second in the
Pac-10 in receiving yards per
game entering last Saturday, fell
all the way to sixth with his two
catch, 30-yard performance
against the Trojans.
Although junior Tony Hartley
more than made up the slack with
his six catches for 118 yards and a
touchdown, Bellotti knows his se
nior will have to perform well
against the Wildcats.
“There's no secret that Damon
Griffin is a guy we're going to go
to and ask to make big plays,” Bel
lotti said. "We didn’t ask much of
him last game because of the na
ture of what they did. I have every
confidence that Damon will not
disappear from the game plan. He
doesn’t care what the coverage,
he’s going to say, ‘Put the ball in
my area.”’
Oregon enters the game on the
strength of a four-game winning
streak against the Wildcats. The
last time Arizona beat the Ducks
was 1993, when the Wildcats
won 31-10.
Oregon won 16-9 to open last
season when Saladin McCul
lough took the opening kickoff 93
yards for a touchdown.
we really have not played an
offensive team — with the possi
blu exception of UCLA — like Ore
gon,” said Torney, who is 3-5
against the Ducks. “1 think Akili
Smith is, at this point of time, hav
ing the best year of any quarter
back in the league.”
Rut the Wildcats, who are
ranked first in the conference in to
tal defense, have the horses to slow
down Oregon’s scoring brigade.
"They’re very impressive in
terms of the energy and the effort
they give," Bellotti said. “A defen
sive coach would be very proud of
what they do."
Linebacker Marcus Bell leads
the Pac-10 with 86 tackles for an
average of 10.8 per game. He also
has three sacks.
Fellow linebacker Scooter Sprotte
has also put up big numbers, making
39 tackles, forcing four fumbles and
intercepting three passes.
After four straight losses to the
Ducks, three of which were by less
than seven points, Tomey and
company are eager for revenge.
But the Wildcats know Oregon
will not arriveat Arizona Stadium
in a zombie-like trance and allow
its Rose Bowl hopes to be
squashed easily.
