The score would stay that way until the early part of the fourth, when Husky quarterback Marques Tuiasosopo staged a late rally. At this point, Washington had only mustered 158 yards of total offense. Making matters worse, Oregon punter Kurtis Doerr had pinned the Huskies on their own two-vard line. But Tuiasosopo seemed unruf fled and drove his team the length of the field through an array of quarterback sneaks and short pass es. He capped the 98-yard drive at the 10:52 mark of the fourth with a 12-yard touchdown run in which he barely reached the corner of the end zone. “Marques is a great player and we knew he would show up even tually,” said Oregon senior defen sive end Saul Patu, who grew up in Seattle wanting to be a Husky. But even with the margin trimmed down to 23-9, the crowd didn’t seem to be too worried. There was still over seven minutes left when the fans began chanting “Ov-er-rated.” No doubt, Tuia sosopo heard those words, and made the game very interesting on Washington’s next possession. He started out with an incompletion, but then completed back-to-back 11-yard passes to wide receiver Wondame Davis. On first-and-10 from his own 33-yard line, Tuia sosopo unleashed a 59-yard bomb downfield to tight end Jerramy Stevens. On the very next play, Tuia sosopo found tailback Willie Hurst in the end zone for an eight yard score that brought the Huskies within a touchdown and capped an 80-yard drive. “At that point, we were worried, but still confident in our ability as a defense to hold them,” said line backer Matt Smith, who picked off Tuiasosopo with 9:00 left in the third quarter. “It didn’t have to be that close, and luckily we came through.” After the Huskies scored, the L .V;'. riJ-> ir ■ •, ■ U :. !•:• • ;.-•• ■,, ••■•■ ;vl ■ 1 Dan Brunell Emerald Washington tailback Paul Arnold gets just 38 yards from Oregon’s tenacious defense. Oregon offense went three-and out, leaving the defense to make one last stand in order to secure the win. Fortunately for the Ducks, they would have the roaring crowd on their side.

Then on fourth-down, Tuiasosopo dropped back, threw the ball toward the middle of the field and had it swatted down by Smith to turn over possession of the ball. “Matt came up with a lot of big plays,” Bellotti said. “He just played a great game. He had the in terception, the batted ball and a fumble recovery on a punt. Those are big-time plays.” The Ducks jumped out to the early 7-0 lead midway through the first quarter when Harrington threw a 13-yard strike to tight end Justin Peelle for the touchdown. Both teams would exchange field goals to keep the game close, but Oregon would score the piv otal points of the game with 2:05 to go in the first half. Oregon running back Allan Amundson followed two great blocks into the end zone for a five-yard run that pushed the Duck lead to 17-3 at the half. While the final score of 23-16 makes the game seem a lot closer than it actually was, Harrington views the inconsistencies of the Ducks as a positive that they can take with them through this week’s bye and into their showdown on the road against No. 18 Southern California Oct. 14. “We still haven’t played a per fect game and that’s actually a good feeling,” the junior quarter back said. “Because we know there’s a lot of room for improve ment and once we start to click on all cylinders, it’s going to be a fun ride.” "M i NATIONAL ANTHEM CO WEST For Oregon Men's and Women's Basketball AUDITIONS Sunday, October 15 5:30 - 8:30 pm J Ndc/\pthup Ooupt To reserve an audition time or for J more information, CALL 346-5417.
