Football continued from page 7 gon as a highly touted recruit from the Portland suburb of Milwaukee. In his junior and senior years at Mil waukie High School, Freiter logged more than 200 tackles, forced 10 fum bles and had six pass deflections. Su perprep magazine labeled him the ninth-best prospect in the Northwest. Freiter was supposed to play as a true freshman in 1997 — until he was sidelined with a preseason knee injury. He recovered after the end of the season, but another knee injury dur ing spring drills kept him out of the next season’s first seven games. In juries continued to plague Freiter last season, but he managed to appear in nine games, including a starting nod in the Sun Bowl last December. Now that he’s healthy, the junior said he’s ready to fill the gap left by Nikolao. “I feel like I’m in good shape, like I can go out there and play a whole game and be fine and healthy the next day,” Freiter said. “I’m 100 per cent.” “That’s been his Achilles heel, so ' to speak ... he’s never finished a whole season healthy,” Greatwood said. “Hopefully, he’ll be able to fin ish this one healthy and get a full head of steam going into the next one.” Oregon: The props continue Two Ducks and head coach Mike Bellotti are receiving national acco lades for their contributions to Ore gon’s best season since 1964. Quarterback Joey Harrington, who was named Pacific-10 Confer ence Player of the Week for leading the Ducks past Arizona State in double overtime Saturday, is one of 15 finalists for national offensive piayer-of-the-year honors by the Football News. On a day when the defense couldn’t buy a tackle, Harrington tied the Oregon record with six touchdownpasses as he completed 26 of 43 passes for 434 yards against the Sun Devils. “It’s kind of an added motivation,” Harrington said about the Ducks’ newfound national attention. “We’ve been put up on a level with some of the great teams in the coun try, and we feel like we need to live up to that.” Defensive end Saul Patu is one of 15 semifinalists for defensive play er of the year by Football News. Patu ranks second on the team with 42 tackles and is third in the league in tackles for loss (14) and quarter back sacks (8). The senior ranks third on Oregon’s all-time quarter back-sack list with 2 2.5. Last but not least, Bellotti is one of 10 nominees for coach-of-the year honors. Bellotti has a 46-21 record in less than six seasons with the Ducks and is the third-win ningest coach in Oregon history. Another shootout? Washington State’s Jason Gesser had to like the outcome of Satur day’s Oregon vs. Arizona State game. Although the Ducks emerged vic torious and remained undefeated in Pac-10 play, the Sun Devils terror ized their defense all day long. Ari zona State’s 667 yards of total of fense is perhaps the most yardage ever suffered by an Oregon defense. And here’s the kicker: Jeff Krohn, a redshirt freshman quarterback, led the Devil’s offensive assault. The Ducks may be in for another shooting match, this time against the Cougars. Gesser, one of the Pac 10’s best quarterbacks, tends to light up opponents on the big plays. Oregon knows it can’t afford an other disjointed performance on defense as it had Saturday, when it barely beat Arizona State 56-55 in double overtime. “If we don’t do a good job, I’ll be very disappointed, and we will not be happy as a team,” Bellotti said.
