Oregon tailback Maurice Morris is nursing a sore toe and won’t practice this week, but he should be ready for the game against
Southern California next week. Morris, a junior college transfer, leads the Ducks in rushing.

of dropping into coverage. Rather
than force the ball, he threw it
away. Those are the stats, and they
look bad, but from a coaching
standpoint they were positive
plays.”
Bellotti also plans to use the bye
week to evaluate Frankel’s job as
the Ducks’ place-kicker. He said he
expects Frankel to keep his job, but
won’t make up his mind until he
sees him kick in practice in the next
week and a half.
“He and I sat down and looked at
the game film,” Bellotti said.
“There were a couple things tech
nique-wise with his plant foot he
was doing that are easily cor
m
rectable and will make a difference.
“I fully expect him to come back
and be very solid. If not, we have
other people in the program who
can do it, but I do feel like it’s just a
question of working out some mi
nor details.”
Kick this
Oregon went weeks without hav
ing a Pac-10 Player of the Week last
season. But on Oct. 2, just one week
after Morris and safety Keith Lewis
garnered the honor, the Ducks’ Kur
tis Doerr has received the weekly
award.
Doerr played a key role in Ore
gon’s 23-16 win against the then
No. 6 Huskies last Saturday, repeat
edly pinning Washington deep in
their own territory with an average
of 41.7 yards on six punts. Four of
his kicks were downed inside the
I W
20-yard line and two were downed
inside the 10.
Washington’s average starting
field position for the game was at
its own 17-yard line.
Oregon linebacker Matt Smith
and Morris were nominated for the
award. Against Washington, Morris
rushed for 152 yards on 31 carries,
and Smith had several key defen
sive stops, including a blocked des
peration pass by Husky quarterback
Marques Tuiasosopo on the
Huskies’ final drive.
