Marshaun Tucker (5) is prepared to go 110 percent on Saturday and follow head coach Mike Bellotti’s orders to “cut it loose.”
Ducks ready to turn it up
■ Three weeks down, one to go as the Oregon football team
prepares for the annual Spring Game on Saturday
By Jeff Smith
Oregon Daily Emerald
Spring football is a month to
shake off the cobwebs and devel
op momentum for the fall.
It is a time to refine individual
performances, and most impor
tantly, to stay healthy.
Players realize this. They don’t
want to risk a season-ending in
jury during a weekly scrimmage.
Nonetheless, head coach Mike
Bellotti would like to see a little
more tenacity out of his troops as
they participate in the final week
of spring drills.
The coach
has been rela
tively pleased
with his team’s
first two scrim
mages, but ex
pects more this
Saturday when
the Ducks close out spring with
the Spring Game at 1 p.m. in
Autzen Stadium..
“I think at times I feel we’re
playing to protect ourselves,”
Bellotti said, “and maybe not
hurt a teammate. I think that’s
great because one of the goals of
the spring is to stay healthy.
“But we’ve got to cut it loose
and play with the intensity that
will make us better.”
The team seems to be ready to
accept such a challenge in front
of the faithful Duck contingent
that is expected to be on hand
this weekend.
“Hopefully we can come out
and show the crowd something,”
fullback Josh Line said. “We’ll hit
a little harder and just give them
something to get excited about.
We have a long way to go, but
we’ll come out and play hard.”
Wide receiver Marshaun Tuck
er said the crowd’s energy will
help them take their game to an
other level.
“Autzen’s going to be loud —
it always is,” he said. “It’s going
to be pretty amped, so we’ll be
out there working hard. It’s going
to be a show.”
Bellotti did admit that some of
his original goals he set for the
spring have not been met.
“I think we’re a little bit be
hind schedule,” Bellotti said,
“because I think in some respects
we kind of slowed things down
to allow the kids to feel more
comfortable with a certain pace.”
One specific position that lim
its what the team can do is tail
back. With no proven runner on
the spring depth chart it is tough
to truly gauge the offense, as well
as the defense.
When Jermaine Hanspard
moved back to the cornerback
slot, the tailback duties were left
to redshirt freshmen Carlos Mc
Call and Joe Broder. In last Fri
day’s scrimmage, Broder led the
team with 48 yards on nine car
ries, while McCall picked up
nine yards on his five touches.
“It does make it tougher for us
to evaluate on both sides of the
ball,” Bellotti said. “I don’t think
we present the speed factor at
tailback that we hope to have
during fall camp.
“Certainly, I think the talent
level is going to improve dramat
ically in the fall when our schol
arship athletes come in.”
Read between the lines, and
you can figure out who Bellotti is
referring to.
Junior college sensation Mau
rice Morris, a 6-foot, 205-pound
tailback, is the gem of Oregon's
recruiting class. In fact, in most
circles he is considered this
year’s top junior college
prospect.
He’s expected to step right in
and make a serious impact. He is
currently completing classes at
Fresno City College and will join
the team in the summer.
Morris' stats are incomparable.
The two-time J.C. Grid-Wire All
American eclipsed national jun
ior college career records with
3,708 yards rushing, 593 carries
and 4,487 all-purpose yards.
He also surpassed Fresno City
College's school records for most
rushing touchdowns in a single
season (26 in 1998) as well as ca
reer rushing touchdowns (45)
and touchdowns overall (49).
His highest yardage total in a
single game came on Halloween
night in 1998 when he ran for
334 yards, and he was held un
der 100 yards just once in 20 reg
ular-season games (92 yards).
"Morris is everything he is
billed to be," Bellotti said. "He
gives us the power player at his
position."
