Stiffling Sun Devil defense
responsible for 4-0 start
Derek Hagans consecutive streak of 100-yard
games ends, but he is second in Pac-10 receiving
BY STEPHEN MILLER
SPORTS REPORTER
The idea of sweeping both Oregon
schools in its first two weeks of Pacific
10 conference play has the mouths of
the Arizona State Sun Devils salivating.
One thing is certain, both Oregon
and the Sun Devils are drooling over
a victory this weekend, but only
one (fan win.
“We know Mike (Bellotti) will
have those guys foaming at the
mouth,” ASU head coach Dirk Koet
ter said, “and our guys are anxious
too. We are looking forward to Ore
gon this week.”
Sunny defense
Oregon State's rushing offense was
shoved into a negative-19-yard hole
last week by the Sun Devil defense.
Arizona State's defense is tied for first

including seven straight dating back
to 1996. Arizona State is included on
the list with its 42-24 loss in 2001.
More honors for Siegel
Oregon senior kicker Jared Siegel
continues to add accolades to his al
ready impressive resume. In addition
to holding the school record for most
points scored (276), no fewer than 16
Oregon school and conference records
and the longest field goal in Pacific-10
Conference history, Siegel was just
added to the list for the Lou Groza
Award — given to the most outstand
ing collegiate kicker in the country.
Siegel was one of three finalists for the
award in 2002 and is one of three Pac
10 kickers — joining USC’s Ryan
Killeen and UCLA’s Justin Medlock —
to be included on the list of 30 finalists.
Rosario continues
to impress
Sophomore fullback Dante Rosario
has the talent to change the way Ore
gon thinks about its fullback position.
The standout from Dayton has not
been shy about asserting himself on
the football field. Rosario caught a per
sonal collegiate-best five passes for 60
yards and two touchdowns in the sea
son opener against Indiana, only to
better that mark with six catches for 64
yards and one score against Okla
homa. Not only is he Oregon’s recep
tion leader (13), he leads the team
with 24 points scored this season. His
four touchdowns this year are the
most by an Oregon fullback since A J.
Welks scored five times in 1997.
Youngsters get a chance
True freshmen usually don’t play
until their sophomore years.
However, this year is different as
Bellotti said that Oregon could use 10
to 12 true freshmen over the course
of the season. After three games,
Oregon
sophomore
tailback Dante
Rosario leads
the Ducks with
13 catches and
24 points
scored. Rosario
has also caught
a touchdown in
five consecutive
games.

Oregon is halfway there as two more
newcomers took the field last week.
Freshmen that have played so far in
clude outside linebacker Kwame
Agyeman, wide receiver Cameron
Colvin, quarterback Dennis Dixon,
defensive tackle David Faaeteete,
linebacker Ryan Phipps, and corner
back Jackie Bates, who has im
pressed Bellotti with his play already.
“I think he is going to be a very
good football player,” Bellotti said of
Bates. “He’s learning everyday. He
didn’t play last year at the high school
level so he’s seeing some things for
the first time — the speed and athleti
cism of some of the receivers and the
sophistication of the defense. You
know he is going to be a viable punt
returner, he’s a good cover comer and
not afraid to make tackles and I’m
pleased with how he’s playing.”
