The former backup to Carr suffered
a right hip bruise against Wisconsin
in the first game of the season and
was unable to play last week
against San Diego State.
In his place, freshman Paul Pine
gar took the snaps for the first time.
Pinegar completed 21 passes in
35 attempts for 196 yards as he led
the Bulldogs to a 16-14 victory.
“I thought Paul did a very good
job with ball security,” Fresno State
head coach Pat Hill said. “He needs
to get a little better at throwing the
ball away when he gets out of the
pocket. And this week we’ll hopeful
ly get the ball in the hands of the
guys that can make some plays.”
Hill has said Grady will be Fresno
State’s starting QB when healthy.
His status is still unknown for Satur
Carr vs. joey Harrington

led NFL
day’s game against the Ducks.
For Oregon, junior Jason Fife is
n’t quite Harrington yet, but a 36-13
win over Mississippi State at Autzen
Stadium wasn’t a bad way to take
the reins.
Fife was 14-of-26 for the Ducks
and threw for three touchdowns
while running one in himself.
“To be honest, he really shocked
me,” Oregon running back Onterrio
Smith said after the game. “He
played really well. He made some
big plays and showed a little bit of
scramble.”
Like Fresno State, the Ducks also
have a freshman waiting in the
wings — Kellen Clemens — in case
Fife falters or goes down with an in
jury.
In 2001, Oregon finished the sea
son 11-1, notching the most wins in
school history. Fresno State finished
the year at 11-3.
If the teams want to repeat that
performance, the man behind cen
ter is going to have to lead them
there.

not taking anything away from Matt.
We want to take a look at Rodney
with the first group this week, but
there are going to be plenty of reps
for Matt also.”
Hill watched tape Sunday of Ore
gon’s 36-13 win over Mississippi
State last weekend and said he was
impressed with what he saw. In par
ticular, Hill marveled about the play
of Oregon junior quarterback Jason
Fife, whom Hill recruited out of
Lake Elsinore, Calif.
“(Oregon) might be the best foot
ball team we’ve played against since
I’ve been here,” Hill told The Fres
no Bee. “They’ve made the move
to be a big-time college football
team. They are spending money,
and they have put a great product
on the field.
“We are trying to be a lot like
them,” he added. “I see a lot of simi
larities in the way the two of us play.
But I want to make it clear that I
don’t think we are at their level yet.
"(Oregon) might be
the best football team
we've played against
since I've been here."
Pat Hill
head coach
Fresno State
They were No. 2 in the nation last
year. I really think they are a top-5
team this year.”
Then again, the Bulldogs could
quickly change that Saturday.
