struggle, but they also both have good
days. Everybody has bad days.
"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."
