State, No. 21 in the nation entering the game,
went up 17-2 after the first quarter and held a
36-point lead at halftime.
Oregon's two-quarterback rotation also took a
severe hit in the loss. Kellen Clemens, who started
his fifth straight game, threw four interceptions.
In addition, Jason Fife was picked off three times.
"Every tipped ball seemed to come down
into their hands," Bellotti said.
Clemens and Fife ended the game complet
ing 24 passes in 58 attempts. They combined to
throw for 360 yards.
"It was a nightmare," Clemens said. "We got

even one pass picked off.
Oregon also fumbled twice, the first coming
by wide receiver Demetrius Williams after the
completion of a 47-yard pass that would have
found Oregon at the Washington State 21. The
other came on a kickoff return by Justin
Phinisee with 16 seconds left in the first half.
'They were just ready to play," Mitchell said.
"We had some breakdowns on the defensive
side and we just didn't play the way we should
have played."
The only highlight of the first half for the Ducks
came on a punt block by safety Keith Lewis. The
senior broke through the Cougar offensive line
and easily blocked Kyle Baslers kick.

It was Lewis' third
straight game in which
he blocked an oppo

he blocked it with so
much force he knocked
it out of the end zone,
giving Oregon just two

Oregon pounced on
two Washington State
fumbles in the first half,
both times coming after

Whereas the Cougars sacked Clemens and Fife
four times, the Ducks were able to get to Kegel just
once through the first three quarters. Oregon also
sacked Cougar backup Josh Swogger, but not un
til the game was deep into the fourth quarter.
The Ducks threw five interceptions in the first
half— three of Clemens' four came in the first
two quarters and Fife turned the ball over twice.
Kegel rumbled the snap.
The Ducks scored their first touchdown of
the game with 9:28 to play in the third quar
ter. Terrence Whitehead crossed the plane af
ter a 4-yard run.
Clemens connected on his only touchdown
of the game eight minutes later, finding
Williams for a 26-yard reception.

Cougars’ 55-16 win at Autzen Stadium on Saturday.
the Cougars visited Autzen Stadium, and the
win was the first for Washington State in Eugene
since a 24-13 defeat of the Ducks in 1997.
Oregon wide receiver Iordan Carey and line
backer David Martin both suffered concussions.
Williams had to be carted off the field after the
game with an ice pack on his knee.
Williams led the Ducks with nine catches for
175 yards.
The loss sent the Ducks to 19th place in the
Associated Press top 25 and to No. 22 in the
ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll on Sunday. The
Cougars sit at 14th and 15th, respectively.
The Ducks now turn their attention to Utah
as Oregon travels to Salt Lake City on Friday.
"We have to watch the tape, learn from this
and get ready for Utah next week," Clemens
said. "They aren't going to cancel our season be
cause we lost to Washington State."

continued from page 11
They've insisted that 2003 can be
more like the 2000 and 2001 seasons,
when it seemed that the bounces
went their way and the holes in op
posing teams' defensive lines were
bigger than the state of Washington.
Those teams; however, never faced
anything like the loss to the Cougars.
Oregon's two losses were by a com
bined 14 points in 2000, and its only
defeat in 2001 came by seven points.
To see the Ducks lose like they did
to Washington State boggles the mind.
Oregon has Utah on Friday — pre
ceded by a short week of preparation —
and the Utes can be a tough opponent.
Granted, they've lost their starting
quarterback, but a few seasons ago they
showed that they can be a thorn in Ore
gon's side. In 2001, Utah lost 24-10; a
close finish considering the Ducks fin
ished No. 2 in the nation that season.
Utah plays in the Mountain West
Conference, an upstart league that
would love nothing more than to up
set a Pacific-10 Conference team.
If the Ducks think the bull's-eye
was lifted after the recent loss, then
they've got something else coming.
