As hip as you want to be.

With just one reception against USC, Keenan Howry (15) will break the P!ac-10 record for most consecutive games with a catch at 43.
The Trojans' Kareem Kelly also heads into the game with 42 straight games with a reception.

“He’s the total package,” Bellotti
said of Williams. “He can go after
the ball and it’s just another weapon
in that arsenal where you can’t dou
ble anybody because they’re all
very, very dangerous.”
"We have to regroup
and get our house
in order
Mike Bellotti
Oregon head coach
USG presents a problem in the
backfield, as well.
Senior tailback Sultan McCul
lough, who was held to 31 yards in
a losing effort at Autzen last sea
son, rushed for 176 yards on 39
carries in a win over Cal two weeks
ago. Against Washington last week,
McCullough was held tight by the
Huskies — though the Trojans
didn’t need much of a running
game.
“Oregon and the other teams are
going to see the tape,” USC offensive
lineman Lenny Vandermade said af
ter the win over Washington. “If they
want to take away the run, we have
some receivers that can hurt you.”
The Ducks, for sure, will see the
* tape. But they have bigger issues
to address.
“We have to regroup and get our
house in order,” Bellotti said. “I
think our players are frustrated and
angry but we need to put that frus
tration to work for us. We need to
practice harder and we need to un
derstand that we were in this same
position a year ago and found ways
to come back with greater resolve.”
The matchup also showcases
Oregon’s top-ranked scoring of
fense, which averages 38 points per
game, and USC’s top-ranked scor
ing defense, which allows 18 points
per game.

Haloti Ngata(jumping) helped stop the Arizona State rushing attack, but the Ducks
couldn't stop Andrew Walter (16) in Oregon's first loss of the season last week.
It seems someone has to budge,
right?
Besides Oregon’s ability — or lack
thereof — to stop the pass, the game
could turn on USG’s defense of On
terrio Smith.
It should be an interesting devel
opment. Smith, the Pac-10 rushing
leader at 133.7 yards per game,
seeks his eighth straight 100-yard
game against a USG defense that has
allowed 100.3 yards per game,
third-best in the league.
“If you can’t stop the run then
you can’t stop anything,” USG head
coach Pete Carroll said. “We’ll have
to play the run very effectively to
have a chance in this game.”
One advantage Oregon may have
is that USC has not beaten a
ranked opponent on the road since
1995. Since then, the Trojans are
0-7-1 in those games, including a
30-27 overtime loss to Washington
State on Oct. 5.
The Ducks have also won four
straight over the Trojans, including
the last three at Autzen.
