Oregon: Clemens continues TD streak
Continued from page 3
on Washington’s all-time passing
list with 6,781 yards and 67
touchdowns for his prep career.
“He was in the mix (for the
backup position) but was beaten
out,” Bellotti said. “He was closer in
some ways to being our second quar
terback, and I was optimistic that he
could challenge not just for the back
up role, but eventually for the start
ing role. It was a very competitive sit
uation. I wish him well.”
No smell of victory
for Idaho since 1950
Saturday’s tilt will mark the 59th
meeting between the schools since
the series originated in 1901. Only
California, Oregon State, Stanford,
Washington and Washington State
have faced the Ducks more times
than Idaho.
Oregon has won the past 22
games since the Vandals’ last victo
ry in 1950, while Idaho’s only win
in 34 tries in Eugene (there were
two ties) occurred in 1925. The
Ducks are 7-0 in games played vs.
Idaho in Autzen Stadium.
In the Ducks’ last victory against
Idaho, running back Onterrio Smith
rushed for 104 yards and three
touchdowns to propel Oregon to a
58-21 win. The Ducks jumped out to
a 34-7 advantage with less than a
minute elapsed in the third quarter
despite the Vandals accumulating
more total yards of offense (404-403)
by game’s end. Kicker Jared Siegel
successfully converted all three field
goal attempts, and quarterback
Kellen Clemens came off the bench
to misfire on his only pass in addi
tion to succumbing to a quarterback
sack for a 6-yard loss.
Outland Trophy candidate
Adam Snyder would probably like
to concern himself with nothing
more than the next practice or next
opponent, but the senior lineman is
already on the Outland Tfophy
watch list. The Outland Tfophy is
given annually to the best lineman
in college football.
You would have to go back almost
40 years to find the last time the Ducks
returned a first-team Pacific-8/10 all
conference offensive lineman.
Snyder started all 13 games last
year, with his biggest moment com
ing when he was named Pac-10 Of
fensive Player of the Week following
Oregon’s 31-27 win over Michigan.
That marked the first time a Pac-10
offensive lineman was afforded the
honor since UCLA’s Jonathan Og
den in 1995, and the first such Ore
gon honoree since Gary Zimmer
man in 1983.
Lucky seven
With touchdown passes in each
of his first two games this season,
quarterback Kellen Clemens has ex
tended his streak of consecutive
games of throwing at least one
touchdown pass to seven. In com
parison, Jason Fife had a streak of
12 straight in 2002, while Joey Har
rington only managed a streak of
eight games from 2000 to 2001.
What's a missed PAT?
Jared Siegel has run his string of
consecutive conversions to a school
record 95 successful kicks. The sen
ior has only missed two attempts in
151 tries in his collegiate career, and
only Mississippi senior Jonathan
Nichols is currently riding a longer
uninterrupted string, as he has made
101 in a row. Both Siegel and Nichols
are a long way from the NCAA
record of 161 made without a miss,
set by Tennessee’s John Becksvoort
(1991-94).
Nelson steps up his play
The pain from the departure of
Ducks free safety Keith Lewis has
been eased somewhat by the strong
play of sophomore free safety J.D.
Nelson.
Nelson — who is said to be the op
posite of Lewis’ visible and vocal style
of play — has asserted himself on the
field. He posted a team-high 10 tackles
vs. Indiana and then followed that per
formance up with eight stops against
Oklahoma. Nelson is the son of former
Stanford All-American and Minnesota
Vikings running back Darrin Nelson.

Harrington and the Vandals’ short,
precise passing attack.
“The defense has a lot of confidence

the season around, starting with
a win against Idaho.
“(Oregon players) have a lot of
pride,” Bellotti said. “They understand
to this point that we have under
achieved. Not saying with wins and
losses, but the way that we play. To
me, it's more important that we play
up to our potential and we feel good
when we leave the field, and the win
ning and losing will take care of itself. ”
