Oregon kicker Jared Siegel (in air) celebrates with Onterrio Smith (2) and former Duck Josh Line (47) after making a 32-yard field
goal with 14 seconds left to give Oregon a 24-22 win over USC last year at Autzen Stadium.
History
continued from page 3B
24-yard line with 56 seconds left,
thanks in large part to one of
Palmer’s self-described “dumb”
plays. While trying to eat the clock,
Palmer threw an incomplete pass
out of bounds, which gave the
Ducks hope by stopping the clock.
Other than that errant throw,
Palmer threw for 411 yards against
the Ducks last season.
In 2000, Joey Harrington threw
for 382 yards and four touchdowns
in a 28-17 Oregon triumph.
In 1999, in what has been called
one of the wildest games in Oregon
history, the Ducks and Trojans
needed three overtimes to declare
a winner.
Oregon kicker Nathan Villegas’
26-yard field goal with 33 seconds
left in regulation sent the game into
OT, but Villegas was accidentally in
jured by Harrington during the en
suing celebration and did not play in
the extra sessions.
And the Ducks could have
used him.
USG and Oregon both missed
field goals in the first overtime,
and both teams scored a touch
down in the second OT. USG’s
David Newbury missed again in
the third overtime, setting up Ore
gon’s winning kick by third
stringer Josh Frankel.
Oregon 33, USG 30.
Phew.
Palmer, by the way, suffered a
broken collarbone in the first half of
that 1999 thriller and missed the
rest of the season.
Oregon won 17-13 in 1998, but
lost 24-22 on a missed kick in 1997.
“We’ve had some magic going on
over everybody the past few sea
sons,” Bellotti said. “I think in
every game we have found ways to
win and hang in there when it
seemed like it wasn’t going to work.
We had Joey Harrington and some
unsung heroes who stepped up for
us and made some big plays in
those games to win. It has been
tremendously exciting for the fans,
even though it can wear out the
coaches a little.”
All of the recent success against
USG means little to Oregon line
backer Kevin Mitchell.
“To me, if you dwell on the past,
it’s going to come back and bite
you,” he said.
For good measure, USG won 11 of
12 against the Ducks from 1972 to
1986, with the 1980 meeting ending
in a 7-7 tie. Oregon won the teams’
first meeting in 1915, 34-0, but the
Trojans won the next eight, includ- j
ing six straight shutouts.
