Adam Amato Photo Editor Redshirt sophomore justin Phinisee (31) has intercepted two passes and broken up four pass attempts in eight games this season. PREVIEW continued from page 2B it.lWe were happy that we had won. We were going through a lot of tough times like we are now, and we ex pressed some emotion, just like WSU celebrating on our field before a game (in 2001)." The rivalry takes place in Seattle this season, a city of nightmares for the Ducks in recent years. Oregon hasn't won in Seattle since 1997 — although they've only played the 1 luskies there once since then — and a trip to the Seattle Bowl last season wasn't quite what the Ducks were looking for. Husky fans verbally harassed the Ducks during the team's 38-17 loss to Wake Forest. This game should be no different. "They'll probably take me in with open arms," Oregon safety Keith Lewis said with a smile. "They proba bly won't be too happy to see me like I won't be happy to see them. I ran into a couple of them at the Seatde Bowl. They did their trash-talking and I said my piece, but at the same time, hopefully they welcome me with ' open arms." lust two Ducks remain from the - team that traveled to Husky Stadium in - 1999. SeniorsQuinn Dorsey and Jason Fife were both freshmen on the trip. Dorsey played minimally that sea son but did see a few plays against the Huskies. Fife was the third-string quarterback behind future NFLers A.J. Feeley and Joey Harrington. Fife ended up redshirting that sea son. The hostility the Ducks will face in Seattle may be unlike any the team has faced this season. Husky Stadium — with its scenic views, loud fans and usually poor weather — is Autzen North. "I think it will be a lot like Missis sippi State, actually," Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti said. "They're a very vocal crowd, very loud. Our kids responded very well to Mississippi State. They enjoyed that environ ment. They took a little bit of excite ment from it. "I'm sure we'll try to do the same thing for Husky Stadium. It is loud. It's a very raucous atmosphere and one, it's a great college environment." The game will be a homecoming of sorts for six Ducks listed on the 2003 roster in the Oregon media guide. Of those six, Long and line backer Jerry Matson have seen signif icant action for Oregon this season. Two others, quarterback Johnny DuRocher and wide receiver Jordan Carey, are recently out of high school. "I've been to a couple of Husky games when I was a young un," Long said. "They've got some pretty rowdy fans up there. I'm kind of ex cited. I always enjoy going to away games. I like playing against fans that kind of hate you." As much as tilings change — the fir ing of Washington head coach Rick Neuheisel before this season and the loss of Onterrio Smith to the NFL — they remain the same. Washington re turns Williams, who burned the Ducks last season for 14 catches and 198 yards last season as a sophomore He is a familiar sight to Oregon fans, as is Pickett, a senior who has passed for more than 300 yards in a game just once this season. Williams is, however, still ready to strike at a moment's notice. "We just can't give (Williams) an easy play," Oregon secondary coach John Neal said. "We give him an easy play if we let him get behind us, or miss a tackle and he runs down the sideline untouched. Obviously, that's not going to win us a game. We've got to have people around him. We've got to make sure we make tackles and as much as you can, have more than one set of eyes on him when the ball's in the air." Contact the sports editor at hankhager@daiiyemerald.com.
