Emerald Former Oregon receiver Tony Hartley (2) helped the Ducks defeat USC, 17-13, in the 1998 homecoming game. Oregon has won four straight over USC Teams revamp storied history The Ducks and Trojans meet for the 51 sttime Saturday Adam Jude Senior Sports Reporter More than any other opponent Oregon has ever faced, Carson Palmer knows Autzen Stadium. And better than any Oregon oppo nent, Palmer knows what it’s like to lose to the Ducks. USC’s fifth-year quarterback will make his fourth appearance on the Ducks’ pond Saturday in search of his first victory against Oregon. “We’re a different team than we’ve ever been before when we played (Oregon),” Palmer told the Los An geles Times. “We’ve gotten so many penalties at that stadium and have had so many dumb things happen to us. We’ve just got to do our stuff and win the game.” Those wins at Autzen have been hard to come by lately for the Tro jans. Despite owning a commanding 33-15-2 all-time record against the Ducks, Mike Bellotti’s teams have won four straight meetings. USC’s last win in Eugene was in 1993.

Blake a better world. ings have been predictable, though. In fact, four of the last five meet ings have been decided by four points or less — which has created some bad blood. That, in part, likely has to do with the fact that Oregon has so many players from Southern California who want to beat their home school. Prior to this season, Oregon added fuel to the rivalry when it posted a 840,000 billboard — of receivers Keenan Howry, Jason Willis and Sarnie Parker, all of whom are from Southern California — just a few blocks from the USC campus. Suffice it to say, the Trojans were not exactly pleased about the billboard. And last year at Autzen, several Ducks and Trojans were involved in a pregame scuffle during warm-ups. Like the off-field jabs, the play on the field has also been exciting and memorable in recent years. Jared Siegel, then a freshman, drilled a 32-yard field goal with 14 seconds left to cap off Oregon’s 24 22 fourth-quarter rally last season. The Ducks were able to start that drive, which started at the Oregon Turn to History, page 13B CHEAT FOOD COOP PRICES OPEN LATE Homemade Specials Salads & wraps Awesome Desserts Specialty Drinks The SEST Hot Dogs Fly ing £)ogs Cafe $ peli JZ49 Alder Street 344-1960 Open Daily Ham—midnight Mon: Student Night Tues: Wing Night Over a Dozen Seers Table Service & To Go Family Owned & Run Hoping for Heisman Byron Leftwich Senior QB • Marshall Season: !68-of-2S4 passing for 2,314 yards and 17 touchdowns; has rushed for 11 yards on 28 attempts.
