After moving from free safety, senior Justin Wilcox has been solid at comerback.
Perseverance pays
for UO secondary
■ The Oregon secondary
has been steady despite the
absence of key corner backs
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
First Rashad Bauman went down
with a season-ending knee injury
last spring, then Tamoni Joiner was
suspended for violating team rules
Oct. 17, and to top it off, senior
Justin Wilcox left last Saturday’s
game late in the fourth quarter with
a possible shoulder separation.
But still, the Oregon secondary
continues to be a first priority in
securing Oregon wins. The “pass
happy” offense of Washington
State head into town for a Satur
day night clash at Autzen Stadi
um and the Oregon defense - on
the heels of perhaps its best per
formance of the season against
Arizona State - can’t wait.
“They pass the ball a lot, and we
know that this is our week to shine
and make plays,” junior comerback
Brian Johnson said. “We’re not tak
ing them lightly at all because they
have a good set of receivers. It’s our
week to step up.”
The play of Johnson, a junior
college transfer from Mt. San An
tonio, has impressed both team
mates and coaches alike. Johnson
has been thrust into starting due
to the suspension of Joiner. He has
recorded two interceptions, in
cluding an impressive pick
against the Sim Devils.
“He struggled a little bit early
on, and I think he’s gained a lot
more confidence as he’s gotten
more playing time,” secondary
coach Bob Gregory said. “He had
to step in for Tamoni, and these
last couple of games he’s im
proved so much.
“[At the beginning of the sea
son] it was a little bit of, ‘Oh, am I
in the right spot, doing the right
thing?’ And now he’s like, ‘OK,
let’s go. Bring it on.’ ”
“Brian is one of those guys where
when he has a big challenge ahead
of him, he responds,” senior rover
Michael Fletcher said. “He’s a con
fident guy and comes up and hits
people. You can’t ask anything
more out of a comer. ”
A big concern for the Ducks this
week has been the health of senior
