Oregon running back Ryan Shaw (27) is a part of the Ducks’ running back by committee this season. Shaw, along with Terrence White
head, Chris Vincent and Kenny Washington, will be counted upon to contribute to the rushing attack.

The wait is over.
An eager Oregon team takes to the
field for the first time this season Sat
urday. The Ducks face an Indiana
team that is already halfway to its
win total from last year.
The Ducks, ranked 24th in the lat
est Associated Press poll, are the last
Division I team in the country to start
their season.
Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti,
beginning his 10th season at the
helm, anticipates a conservative Big
Ten Conference-style football team
coming to town.
“They have their entire offensive
line back and they ran the ball
very well against Central Michi
gan,” Bellotti said. “For us to be
successful in this game we need our
defensive line to play well, because
Indiana will run the football until
you stop them.”
Senior linebacker Jerry Matson also
thinks stopping the running game will
be key as the Hoosiers ran for 203
yards against Central Michigan.
“They’re a hard-nosed team, and
they get after it and stay on their
blocks,” Matson said. “It’s Big Ten foot
ball, and we just got to have rules so
whatever they give us we can adjust.”
Indiana won its opener 41-10,
but is coming off a lackluster

“We’ve got a tough game this
weekend traveling to Oregon,”
head coach Gerry Dinardo said. “It
will be loud and tough to communi
cate, and it is going to be tough for
us going up against one of the bet
ter teams in the Pac-10. ”
DiNardo said he doesn’t see his
team already having played a game
as an advantage.
“There are advantages both sides,”
DiNardo said. “If you already played
you have some of the first game,
issues behind you. If you have not
