Beavers, Ducks square off
in 107th edition of Civil War
The Civil War takes on
post-season implications
when Oregon State comes
to Eugene on Saturday
By Mindi Rice
Senior Sports Reporter
The 107th Civil War is coming to
Oregon and Oregon State, and the
game has Pacific-10 Conference im
plications.
Ihe team that comes out of Autzen
Stadium victorious Saturday can
claim state superiority and a likely
No. 3 finish in the Pacific-10 Confer
ence.
"It's going to be a big game this
year," defensive end Devan Long said.
"It decides what bowl we're going to.
It's going to be exciting."
The Ducks (7-4 overall, 4-3 Pac-10)
secured their lOth-consecutive win
ning season Saturday with a victory
against UCLA.
Oregon's trip to the Rose Bowl
started on the right foot when line
backer Jerry Matson intercepted a pass
on the third play of the game. He re
turned it 22 yards for a touchdown
and the Ducks never lost the lead.
Quarterback Kellen Clemens made
the most of Saturday's game. For the
first time this season, the starter did
n't relinquish the field to senior Jason
Fife until the victory was solidly
wrapped up in the fourth quarter.
Senior Sarnie Parker caught a 40
yard pass for the second score of the
game, putting Oregon ahead, 14-0. It
was all they needed to reach their
eventual 31-13 victory.
Saturday's game against Oregon
State doubles as the Autzen farewell to
14 Oregon seniors, including Fife and
Parker.
"This senior class has gone to a
bowl game every year, has had a win
ning season every year, has been to
the pinnacle of Oregon football,"
head coach Mike Bellotti said. "It's
certainly been one of the cornerstones
in the history of Oregon football.
Some of these guys will go down as
some of the best players ever to wear
the uniform, so it's with a combina
tion of a little bit of pleasure and a lit
tle bit of sadness that 1 wish them
goodbye."
The seniors will see their home
farewell during many players' favorite
game of the season: Civil War.
"I've been to just about every Civil
War game since I was a young kid, so
to be playing in one is a dream come
true," senior fullback Matt Floberg
said. "I think there's just a deeper re

Clemens, Anderson's paths
intersect Saturday at Autzen
Way back in July of 2000, Oregon
quarterback Kellen Clemens told Bud
Withers of The Seattle Times that he
foresaw then-Scappoose High School
star Derek Anderson choosing Wash
ington State.
By September of the same year, An
derson proved that Clemens should
stick to his day job: football. He made
Clemens' prediction inaccurate by
choosing Oregon State.
Anderson's decision has put his
and Clemens' path on a collision
course, one that is going to come to a
head Saturday at Autzen Stadium.
When the two were seniors in high
school, Clemens was named the fifth

lust a month earlier, the two had at
tended the prestigious Elite 11 Quar
terback Camp in San Juan Capistrano,
Calif. Twelve high schoolers attended
the event, including current Purdue
QB Kyle Orton, Florida's Ingle Martin
and USC's Matt Leinart.
Anderson and Clemens have been
ranked with the best of the best for
years now, and only recently has ei
ther begun to blossom.
Clemens showed the confidence
and consistency Oregon coaches were
expecting when he led the Ducks to a
21-17 comeback win over California.
That was followed by an outstanding
performance against UCLA last week.
