Arizona State has been one of the
few teams that has owned Oregon as
of late, and the Ducks will try to re
verse that trend Saturday.
“We haven’t had a win of that
magnitude in a while,” Oregon quar
terback Kellen Clemens said of the
Ducks’ upcoming trip to Tempe.
Clemens has been less-than-spec
tacular in his career against the Sun

Devils. The senior is 0-2 and has
completed only 19-of-38 passes for
203 yards with one touchdown and
two interceptions.
The 17th-ranked Sun Devils own
a 16-9 all-time series lead against
the Ducks and, more importantly,
have won the last three meetings.
Most recently, Arizona State defeat
ed Oregon last season in Autzen
Stadium 28-13.
Oregon head coach Mike Bellotti,
fresh off his 50th Pac-10 win last
week at Stanford, is 4-6 against the
Sun Devils with his last winning
coming back in 2001, a 42-24 victory.
Under Bellotti, the Ducks are 1-3
in games
played at Sun
Devil Stadium.
Their last win
on the road in
the series came
in 2000, when

school record
“Kellen Clemens continues
to play excellent football —
just a great field general, a
great passer. ”

by throwing six touchdowns to lead
the Ducks to a thrilling 56-55 double
overtime victory.
“ASU has got to feel good about
themselves. They competed well
against the No. 1 team in the nation,
so I have a feeling they will be fine,”
Bellotti said “We need to make sure
we don’t relax at all, but continue to
get better and better.”
Streaks end at Stanford
Though the Ducks dominated the
football game against the Cardinal,
many long-running streaks ended.
Clemens had his streak of 162
consecutive passes thrown without
an interception ended in the first
quarter by Stanford linebacker
Michael Okwo.
Clemens did, however, continue
his streak of touchdown passes. He
has thrown at least one in his last
nine games.
Comerback Aaron Gipson had
recorded an interception in each of
Oregon’s previous four games, but
that streak came to end Saturday as
well. The senior comer was sidelined
with a concussion, but is expected to
play Saturday.
Running back Terrence White
head’s string of 17 consecutive
starts also ended against the Cardi
nal as did wide receiver Demetrius
Williams’ streak of five consecutive
games with at least one touchdown.
A day of firsts
Running back Terrell Jackson and
linebacker Blair Phillips each started
his first game last Saturday against
Stanford. Jackson finished the day
with 29 yards in 11 carries and
Phillips was tied for second on the
team with four unassisted tackles.

“The young tailbacks (Jackson,

made plays,” Bellotti said.
Freshman wide receiver Jaison
Williams also hauled in his first
career touchdown pass, a 19-yarder
from Clemens in the second quarter.
Clemens' career day
By throwing for 393 yards against
Stanford, Clemens moved to fourth in
the school’s career list of total offense
with 7,114 yards and fifth in career
passing yards with 6,665. The senior
from Bums has thrown for 1,516 yards
and 12 touchdowns this season.
“Kellen Clemens continues to play
excellent football — just a great field
general, a great passer,” Bellotti said.
“Overall, I was very pleased with
Kellen’s play and his distribution of
the football.”
