Football: Defensive stands amount to wins
Continued from page 5
ence-high 41 sacks last season — a
3.73 per game average.
More questions arose as center
Enoka Lucas and right guard Ian
Reynoso were the only returning
linemen with significant experience.
Losing guard Shawn Flanagan to in
jury prior to the season didn’t help
matters either.
But with the emergence
of Schwartz, right guard Palauni Ma
Sun, left guard Josh Tschirgi
and left tackle Max Unger
to aid Lucas and Reynoso, question
marks have quickly turned to
exclamation points.
“I thought last week against
Washington was the best protection
afforded an Oregon quarterback
maybe in the time I’ve been
here,” Oregon head coach Mike
Bellotti said.
The offensive line has given up
only eight sacks in seven games this
season and has helped the No. 15
ranked Ducks race to a 6-1 record.
“We just have to continue to keep
playing how we’ve been playing,”
Lucas said. “We’re all doing a good
job and playing really good.”
In Oregon’s six wins this season,
quarterback Kellen Clemens has
been sacked only five times. He was
sacked three times in Oregon’s
45-13 loss to top-ranked Southern
California, but was not sacked
at all in wins against Arizona State
and Washington.
“I think it’s learning the concepts
of the offense,” Lucas said of the
offensive line’s marked improve
ment. “And Kellen’s doing a great
job of getting rid of the ball when
he’s feeling pressure and runs when
he has to. Kellen helps us and we
help him. ”
The offensive line has allowed
Clemens time to throw the ball and
the senior from Burns has respond
ed. Clemens is currently second in
the nation in passing yards and 15th
in passing efficiency.
Likewise, the Duck offense ranks
in the top 20 nationally in scoring
(19th), yards per game (13th) and
points per game (13th).
“Offensively, we just have the
kind of confidence that we’re going
to go out there and get our job done
no matter who’s playing in front of
us,” Schwartz said. “That’s a good
confidence to have.”
Defensive domination
With the offense moving the ball
efficiently, the play of the defense

Oregon wide receiver Jaison Williams (4) catches a ball over a Washington defender last
Saturday. Williams caught five passes for 55 yards and a touchdown.
has lifted the Ducks to their highest
national ranking since the 2003 sea
son. Led by Haloti Ngata, Matt
Toeaina, Victor Filipe and Devan
Long, and complemented by an im
proved secondary and surprising
linebacking corps, the Oregon de
fense has allowed a stingy 788 yards
in its last three games.
The Ducks have outgained their
opponents by a combined total of
944 yards this season. The defense
gave up only 238 yards of offense
last Saturday against the Huskies.
“We did a great job on defense, I
wouldn’t have planned to turn the
ball over the first two times we
touched it, but I was very glad we
recovered from that,” Bellotti said.
“We didn’t panic and again, this
team has that confidence. ”
Injury update
Sophomore linebacker A.J. TU
itele ran in practice on Monday in
attempt to return from a leg injury
that has sidelined him for consecu
tive games this season. If Tbitele
does not have any setbacks, accord
ing to Bellotti, he could make a re
turn to the lineup against Arizona
on Saturday.
Senior wideout Demetrius
Williams suffered bruised ribs in the
first half against the Huskies and his
status will be determined by his mo
bility in practice this week.
Senior defensive end Nate
LiaBraaten, on his doctor’s advice,
was forced to leave the team after
suffering a series of concussions. He
suffered his last concussion in the
45-13 loss to USC. LiaBraaten, a for
mer walk-on from Bend who played
in 11 games last season and started
two, will remain with the program
as an assistant.
“It’s very difficult. Nate’s a great
young man,” Bellotti said. “It’s
one of those things that you hate
to see happen. ”
