he’s a real smooth guy. He has real
good moves,” Campbell said. “He
sees the field very well. He has a
good feel for where defenders are
and makes nice cuts.”
Getting to Eugene wasn’t easy for
Whitehead. Originally signed in 2001,
he had to sit out last season because
his entrance exam score was chal
lenged. After two games this season,
though, an anonymous tip from the
NCAA put Whitehead’s eligibility in
question again, forcing him to miss
the final two preseason games before
taking another entrance test.
Now surely entrenched on the
Oregon roster — and the man
tabbed to replace Smith should he
opt for the NFL after this season —
Whitehead is no longer getting
headaches from entrance exams.
Instead, he’s creating the headaches
on the field.
“I see myself as a playmaker,”
Whitehead said. “I see myself putting
up some big numbers for the Ducks.”
While Whitehead provides the fi
nesse, Shaw is the power.
The son of former a former NFL
player, Shaw is finally getting his
chance to carry the load. In a losing
effort against Washington last week,
the 5-foot-ll, 201-pounder had his
best game in a Duck uniform, lead
ing the Ducks with 42 yards on sev
en carries, a 6-yard average.
“I’ve been waiting for my oppor
tunity for awhile,” Shaw said. “I’m
just trying to make my reps count.
“I have faith that everything will
work out.”
His father, Pete Shaw, played eight
seasons as a comerback for the San
Diego Chargers and New York Giants.
But Shaw said he never felt pressured
to play football, which he picked up
as a freshman in high school.
“I just can’t say enough about
him,” Campbell said of Shaw.
“Ryan’s a quick guy with a little
more power than Terrence. Right
now, I’d venture to say that (Shaw’s)
running a little bit faster right now
because he’s healthy. Unfortunately,
he hasn’t gotten to play a whole lot
this year, but fortunately he’s got
fresh legs because of it.”
At La Costa Canyon High School in
Carlsbad, Calif., Shaw tallied 2,580
yard and 33 touchdowns in his final
two seasons. Upon coming to Oregon,
though, Shaw faced the challenge of
competing for playing time against
the likes of Smith and Morris. As a
freshman, he participated in just
Adam Amato Emerald
Redshirt sophomore Ryan Shaw, who worked on the scout team last year to learn
from Maurice Morris and Onterrio Smith, had 42 yards on seven carries against UW.

he redshirted to save his eligibility.
“He’s going to see more action
this week and those guys are going
to share the duties,” Campbell
said. “(Whitehead and Shaw) have
some things that they both can do
and we’re going to let them do
what they do best.”
What a show it could be.
