Place-kicker Josh Frankel, who made all four extra points against USC, can redeem himself in front of Oregon fans Saturday. Emerald Football continued from page 7 Trojans, but he stops short of saying he redeemed himself. Frankel left a sour taste in the mouths of 45,000-plus fans three weeks ago at Autzen Stadium when he missed three field goal at tempts and an extra point against Washington. In the following bye week, Bel lotti and Frankel spent time watch ing game film. They spotted some things that he was doing wrong in his approach and spent the next week correcting them. Frankel believes that whatever happened against the Huskies was a one-time thing. Now, he has to prove it. “That was a bad day,” Frankel said. “It’s going to happen to even the best of 'em; there are no excuses about it. It was flat-out awful, but you can’t dwell on it. You have to move on and keep working hard.” While the Ducks rested a week and-a-half ago, Frankel was paying close attention to the college foot ball scene. He watched Florida State’s Matt Munyon send a field goal right of the uprights, giving Miami an upset win and possibly costing FSU a national title. He also watched Oregon State kicker Ryan Cesca launch a wide-right kick, costing the Beavers a win over the Huskies that what would have been the biggest win in their recent history. Both situations inspired him to better his skills. “I felt bad for those kids, but that’s the way it goes sometimes,” Frankel said. “That’s the life of a kicker. Sometimes you’ll be put in a position where you have an op portunity to win the game. Some times you make it, and other times, unfortunately, you won’t. “They say that you win as a team and lose as a team unless you’re a kicker, but that’s all part of the job.” The Autzen advantage The Ducks play at home for the first time in three weeks in this Saturday’s homecoming game against the Arizona Wildcats. It should be noted that in Ore gon’s two road games, opponents were allowed a combined total of 531 yards rushing offense. Opponents in the Ducks’ four home games were held to a com bined 218 yards. i ( That was a bad day. Ifs going to happen to even the best of 'em; there are no excuses about it.

Josh Frankel Oregon place kicker / / Hackett can’t hack it The Daily Trojan, Southern Cali fornia’s equivalent of the Oregon Daily Emerald, has been running an interesting poll about Trojan football coach Paul Hackett, who is gaining unwanted notoriety from his team’s horrendous 0-3 conference record. The poll, titled the “Paul Poll,” asks USC students if Hackett should remain the team’s head coach. The result as of Sunday was 46 5, and guess which side had the 46 votes. Things aren’t looking good for poor Hackett. f~ Ev\f K/Dr growing up in oufL toiA/Err-in/come ajleat have eve/l hea/ld op An/ ^/otoGV ci-Arr.
