"Whoever does step up to the job, I mean, whatever the coaches decide, that's their decision. They're going to have their decision." When Fife and Clemens were on, the offense clicked and national pub lications took notice of the then-up start Ducks. Neither threw an interception through the first four games, and Clemens was ranked in the top-10 na tionally in passing efficiency. During that time, Fife threw or ran for a touchdown, helping lead the offense to more than 30 points each game Back then, the rotation was no con troversy. Instead, Bellotti was receiving accolades for developing a scheme that worked so well. Ihe offense was working so well, in fart, that the Ducks nearly inserted a third quarterback into the offense. During Oregon's 48-10 win over Ari zona, freshman Johnny DuRocher nearly came into the game, which would have ended any possibility of him redshirting the season. "Ideally, I'd want to save my year," he said. "But if an emergency-type sit uation happened, I'd be more than happy to step in. "It's hard to sit on the sideline every week, but it's what's best for me and the team." Clemens and Fife will both get on the field on Saturday against Stanford, and how each does will surely deter mine how the Oregon offense fares against the Cardinal. Bellotti, for one, experts Clemens to get over the demons that haunted him against the Sun Devils. "I expert Kellen to come back with a vengeance," Bellotti said. "He's a winner. He's a young man that has an inner strength that will sustain him and it is our job to provide the confi dence, and I have confidence in him. "In fart, I have confidence in both our quarterbacks. I've seen them play and play very well and be part of the solution, and I expect them to be that again." Contact the sports editor at hankhager@dailyemerald.com.
