PREVIEW
continued from page 2
As almost an afterthought to Nga
ta's injury, Oregon fans should expea
to see both Clemens and Fife behind
center against Nevada, and again, a
train of running backs slicing through
holes and sweeps.
It's not as though the Duck offense
didn't prompt its fair share of acco
lades, anyway.
Clemens was 14 of 21 for 247
yards and three touchdown strikes,
while Fife was 8 of 8 for 111 yards
and one score.
Bellotti has not hinted who will get
more playing time against Nevada.
He showed against Mississippi State
that he is not afraid to rotate the two
even if one has a hotter hand.
The running game, meanwhile,
racked up 198 yards against the Bull
dogs and Junior Ryan Shaw led the
way offensively, having ran for 84
yards in 16 carries last week.
"We were just all fresh, ready to go,'
he said. "Whenever one of us got tired,
somebody was there to step up."
With the Michigan game looming
— Sept. 20, to be exact — the Ducks
are entering the Nevada contest with
the thoughts of a must-win this week.
With a strong showing against the Wolf
Pack, the Ducks could gather momen
tum next week against Arizona, then
focus on the biggest non-conference
game at Autzen in 20 years.
But they can't look past the Wolf
Pack. After all, it is just the second
game of the season.
Last week, "We made enough mis
takes for the season and we made
enough mistakes to learn from,"
Mitchell said. "We went over it,
learned from them, and now it's just
time to move on."
