The two-quarterback system wasn’t working for Oregon and when Clemens took over full-time after his fourth-quarter comeback against California, the Ducks went 3-1. Clemens’ numbers speak for themselves. He went 72 of 107 for and nine touchdowns since taking over in the fourth quar ter of the California game last season. During his off-season workout pro gram, Clemens led all quarterbacks with a 308-pound squat and a 310-pound bench press. Even more distinguishable from last year is his leadership. Head coach Mike Bellotti said he has seen the strides his signal-caller has made. “Kellen has done well in camp. He’s a great leader, great quarterback and has been very efficient,” Bellotti said. Clemens said he is eager to get into Autzen Stadium in front of the fans. “Just thinking about getting in there and play ing gives me goose bumps,” Clemens said. “When it comes to Saturday, it’s going to be im portant for me to be calm and step back away from everything and execute our game plan.” Defensive end Devan Long said he be lieves Clemens’ time has come. “Kellen looks really good out there calling the shots, and it’s Kellen’s world, and we’re all just living in it,” Long said. Clayton Jones Matt LoVecchio Indiana starting quarterback Matt LoVecchio is proving to be the leader to take the Hoosiers out from the bottom of the Big Ten Conference. LoVecchio, a native of Franklin Lakes, N.J., is the only quarterback on the Indi ana roster with any significant experi ence at the collegiate level. In his first game this season against Central Michigan last week, LoVecchio threw for 121 yards and one touchdown. He also ran for 20 ya rds and scored one rushing touchdown. After transferring from Notre Dame following the 2001 season, LoVecchio started 11 games for Indiana and compiled 1,778 ya rds and threw for three touchdowns last season. His most memorable moment came when he drove the Hoosiers 66 yards for the game-winning touchdown against Illinois at Indiana’s Memorial Stdium on Nov. 8,2003. During his tenure at Notre Dame, he became the first freshman to start at quarterback for the first time in nine years. During the 2000 season, LoVecchio led the Irish to a Fiesta Bowl victory as part of a seven-game winning streak to end the season. Before his collegiate career, LoVecchio was a USA Today prep All-American and rated as one of the top prep quarterbacks in the nation. At Indiana, LoVecchio is majoring in business. ji — Alex Tam 2004 OREGON SCHEDULE September 11 Indiana, 3:30 p.m. 18 © Oklahoma, 12:30 p.m. 25 Idaho, 12:30 p.m. October 2 Arizona State, 12:30 p.m, 9 @Washingta$tafo2p.m. 16 Arizona, 12:30 p.m. 23 @ Stanford, 2 p.m. 31 Washingfcn 12:30 p.m. November 6 ©California, 12:30p.m. 13 UCLA, 12:30 p.m. 20 Oregon Stafo 4 p.m. STATISTICAL LEADERS T.
