The Ducks and Utes play
a rare Friday night game
as both hope to keep just
one blemish on their record
By Mindi Rice
Senior Sports Reporter
They've all done it dozens of times
before this season.
Every player on the Oregon and
Utah benches has played in one.
It's Friday night under the lights
— just like they played in high
school — only in a larger stadium
and on television.
"I like night games, so I'm excited
about it" quarterback Kellen Clemens
said. "But after kickoff, it's all the same"
The Ducks travel to Salt Lake City
for a 7 p.m. game tonight at Utah's
Rice-Ecdes Stadium.
Memories of Friday nights on the
field have more sentimental value this
week as the Ducks also hit the books
for their first week of classes.
"I think a lot of kids have been
ready for school to start," Oregon
head coach Mike Bellotti said Mon
day. "This is the first day we've prac
ticed when they've been in school, but
I haven't seen anything different.
There's a bounce in their step so I
think 1116/re all just excited."
"It's nice (to be back in classes) be
cause there's some more people back
in town now," Clemens said. "You get
to see some people other than the
football team."
Oregon (4-1 overall, 1-1 Pacific-10
Conference) has seen five opposing
teams this season. For the most part,
the Ducks have liked what they've
seen, including a 31-27 win against
then-No. 3 Michigan on Sept. 20.
Saturday, Oregon wasn't as lucky in
a 55-16 thumping by Washington
State. The Ducks found their flaws
against the Cougars after four weeks
of seemingly sound play.
"Any time you lose, you want to
make sure you understand why it
happened, but you've got to move
on," Bellotti said. "They're not going
to cancel our season because of a loss.
They certainly weren't going to cancel
it when we beat Michigan. *
No seasons will be canceled in col
lege football, regardless of wins and
losses. The Ducks, however, are look
ing to rework what went wrong in Sat
urday's loss to Washington State.
"We've still got a lot of work to
do," Clemens said. "We know it. We
got our butts kicked and we're back
to the grindstone."
Clemens and his quarterback coun
terpart Jason Fife were intercepted sev
en times by the Cougars. Neither

Utah sees past UO mistakes,
braces itself for Friday fight
Utah enters with full force
and is ready to match up
position for position with
the No. 19-ranked Ducks
By Jesse Thomas
Sports Reporter
Utah is well aware of the destruc
tion that took place in Autzen Sta
dium on Saturday. The bomb that
was Washington State forced Ore
gon to make every mistake seeming
ly possible.
Does that mean that the Utes (3-1)
will have a relaxing Friday evening in
Rice-Ecdes Stadium?
Not in the mind of Utah safety
Dave Revill.
*1 think that they are even more
dangerous because they will have all
week to work on what they did
wrong," Revill told The Daily Utah
Chronicle.
Revill was named the Mountain
West Conference Defensive Player of
the Week on Sept. 29 for his part in
Utah's 28-21 win over Colorado State
two days earlier.
And like the Cougars, Utah has no
trouble causing havoc on opponents.
The Utes intercepted two passes over
the weekend and forced the Rams to
fumble the ball four times.
"When you force six turnovers
and score on two of them, then you
should win the game," Revill said.
"If we do it again we should be able
to win."
Beyond the mess of turnovers and
interceptions, Utah has deeper feel
ings about Friday's match up, espe
cially for junior wide receiver Paris
Warren, a former Duck in the 2001
season.
Warren sat out last year because of
transfer rules, and since his return
into the Utah lineup has averaged
81.7 receiving yards per game in 24
total catches.
And on the other side of the ball,
cornerback Arnold Parker has his
work cut out in dealing with wide re
ceiver Demetrius Williams. Hie Ore
gon sophomore has accounted for
508 yards already and averages 18.8
yards per catch.
"This will be one of the defining
points in Arnold's career," Utah head
coach Urban Meyer told The Daily
Utah Chronicle. "He works so hard,
