Football: Civil War win means bowl eligibility
Continued from page 7
With less than two minutes left in the game and no
timeouts, Oregon drove down to its own 40-yard line. The
Ducks were down to a fourth-down play and, for the sec
ond consecutive week, couldn’t come through as quarter
back Kellen Clemens just missed on a pass to Garren
Strong down the middle of the field.
“I think as a team you always want to be in a po_.' '■

making those plays — and good teams find a way to make
124 yards on the ground which put him over the 1,000
yard mark on the season with 1,034. He is the 10th run
ning back to do so in Oregon history, and he also passed
Saladin McCullough on the all-time rushing list with
2,043 yards to move him up to ninth.
The UCLA victory gives the Bruins bowl eligibility,
while the Ducks will pin all hopes on Saturday’s Civil
War. With Oregon State’s victory over Stanford, the
Beavers improved to 5-5. In order to secure bowl eligibili
ty, a 6-5 record is needed, meaning the winner of the an

will be bowl eligible
while the loser will
be stuck with a los
ing season and no
bowl invitation.
Bellotti said he
wouldn’t have it
any other way.
“I can’t think of a
better situation or
zi points, including an interception returned tor a touch
down by cornerback Ttey Brown.
Clemens would throw two interceptions on the day, and
Bellotti said he was still feeling the effects of the Cal game.
“Kellen wasn’t as sharp today,” Bellotti said. “He had
65 (cubic centimeters) drained out of his knee on Mon
day, and it obviously still bothered him. I don’t think he
felt comfortable striding forward.”
Clemens admits neither he nor die offense were at the
top of their games.
“We didn’t execute a couple of times and I missed a
couple of touchdown throws,” Clemens said.
Terrence Whitehead led the offense on the ground despite
not carrying the ball in the fourth quarter. He accumulated
opportunity than to go to Corvallis and have your season,
your bowl game, everything riding on a game against
your natural rival. That’s the way it should be,” he said.
Cornerback Aaron Gipson said the key for Oregon will
be putting this loss behind them as fast as possible.
“We’ve just got to get our spirits up real fast because
we’ve got a big game against our rivals at Oregon State,
and they’re not going to have any sympathy for us,” Gip
son said.
Clemens said this week of practice is going to be intense.
“It’s the Civil War,” he said. “Right now, it is win or go
home.”
