Football: Comebacks secure Oregon's win

the way and I just read his block.”
Saturday’s offensive explosion
was much needed for a team that
had been struggling to score.
Clemens came up huge when he
was needed the most, completing 16
of 21 passes in the fourth quarter for
200 yards and three touchdowns. He
also rushed for 12 yards and a score
in the game’s final quarter.
“Kellen had a great game,” Day
said. “(He had) three rushing touch
downs, threw the ball great and was
poised in the pocket.”
Clemens had plenty of weapons
at his disposal. Wide receiver
Demetrius Williams, who was bat
tling foot and shoulder injuries,
caught 12 passes for 126 yards,
while taking advantage of favorable
matchups in the Cougar secondary.
The Ducks also found success by
forcing the ball to Day over the mid
dle of the field. The 268-pound tight
end caught a pair of fourth-quarter
touchdowns and hauled in eight re
ceptions for 152 yards overall.
Despite the late fumble, White
head put on another outstanding
performance. The junior rushed 22
times for 166 yards and caught sev
en passes for 71 yards. The Los An
geles native repeatedly burned the
Cougars by turning shovel passes
into big gains.
Wide receiver Cameron Colvin
also showed his play-making abili
ties. The true freshman had three re
Oregon tight end

second touchdown
pass of the fourth
quarter to pull the
Ducks within four
points of
Washington State.
Day finished with

catches.

ceptions for 35 yards, including a
one-handed, drive-saving catch near
the left sideline in the first quarter.
The 14-yard reception on third-and
11 led to Oregon’s first touchdown
on a 1-yard run by Clemens.
Swogger and the Cougar offense
were impressive early, scoring on
two long touchdown passes against
Duck defensive back Marques
Binns. After the junior cornerback
was replaced by true freshman Jack
ie Bates, the Oregon defense started
to slow down the Washington State
passing attack.
Swogger finished 13 of 36 for 231
yards and three touchdowns, but
the sophomore threw two costly
interceptions.
Oregon cornerback Aaron Gipson
picked off Swogger early in the third
quarter, leading to a 3-yard touch
down run by Clemens. Safety Justin
Phinisee also intercepted Swogger
later in the quarter.
“We’ve been this good of a team
all along and that’s the thing people
don’t understand,” offensive tackle
Adam Snyder said. “We showed it a
little more tonight and we’re just go
ing to keep going and keep that posi
tive attitude.”

Soccer: Match against USC ends in shutout
Continued from page 7
against USC on Friday. The Trojans
defeated the Ducks 2-0 at McAlister
Field by capitalizing on some
opportune moments in the second
half.
USC junior forward Tina Sutorius
scored her career-high fourth goal
of the season, with a header off a
corner kick in the 46th minute by
teammate Jocelyn Leche. Sopho
more Jocelyn Hein added an insur
ance goal for the TYojans, with her
kick — off a deflection by Sutorius
—• into the right side of the net.
“They threw a lot of people for
ward into their offense, so we felt
pretty good being able to withstand
that in the first half,” Steffen said.
“In the second half, they caught us
at an inopportune time early in the
half, then did it again a little bit lat
er. The stats didn’t indicate the level
of play between the teams, which I
thought was fairly even.”
The TYojans outshot the Ducks
(15-4), leading in shots on goal (6-3),
corner kicks (6-5) and fouls (13-8).
