True freshman running back Jeremiah Johnson (20) has produced on the field since he was brought out of his redshirt season against
Stanford. Johnson is fourth on the team in rushing yards (113) despite playing in only three games.
Johnson brings new burst
of speed to Ducks' backfield
Kellen Clemens continues his climb into the upper
echelon of quarterbacks with 36 completions last week
BY JEFFREY DRANSFELDT
SPORTS REPORTER
The end of Jeremiah Johnson’s red
shirt season added more than depth to
the Oregon backfield. Possessing a
quick burst, Johnson has added a
valuable option on kickoff returns.
Returning the opening kickoff 35
yards and the second 21 yards last
week against Washington, Johnson
strengthened Oregon’s special teams.
Johnson combined with Jonathan
Stewart for four kickoff returns aver
aging 31.25 yards per return and with
Justin Phinisee, who returned three
punts for 21 yards, as the special
teams gave Oregon quality starting
position on nearly every possession.
That starting position helped
quarterback Kellen Clemens and the
Oregon offense have a record
setting afternoon.
Johnson earned extra time at run
ning back, gaining 38 yards on three
carries, as Oregon controlled the
game 21-7 at halftime.
Stewart continued his recovery
from an ankle injury as he gained
28 yards on six carries. His most
impressive play came in the third
quarter, when he took a handoff
and ran 17 yards along the right
side into the end zone.
Record-setters
The explosive Oregon offense is
putting up record numbers and old
marks are falling by the game.
Clemens set the Autzen Stadium
record for completions with 36.
He broke Paul Pinegar’s record of
completions set earlier this season
when Fresno State lost to the Ducks
37-34. Pinegar’s 33 completions were
shared with Brigham Young’s TV Det
mer, who did it in 1990. Clemens
passed for 425 yards and four touch
downs against Washington.
Fittingly, with former quarterback
Danny O’Neil in attendance for the
1994 football team’s induction into
Oregon’s Hall of Fame, Clemens
moved closer to the current Eugene
minister, passing Joey Harrington
into third place with 60 career
touchdown passes.
One week after Terrence Whitehead
brought up Bobby Moore’s name with
100 yards each running and receiving;
the senior running back had 59 receiv
ing yards to surpass 1,000 for his ca
reer. Joining Moore and Sean Burwell,
Whitehead is the third Oregon player
with more than 1,000 yards rushing
and receiving.
Wide receiver Cameron Colvin
caught a career-high 63 yards. He
had 55 yards receiving against both
Houston and Fresno State earlier
this season.
Defensive pressure
Anthony Trucks and Devan Long
constantly harassed Washington
quarterback Isaiah Stanback, dis
rupting the Huskies’ already strug
gling offense.
Thicks had eight tackles — five
solo — including one and a half
sacks for 10 yards lost.
Long’s 2.5 sacks gave him 24.5 for
his career, which ranks third on Ore
gon’s all-time sack list. Long had sev
en tackles — six solo — in moving
into a tie with Reggie Jordan with 40.
The Washington game strung to
gether three strong performances for
Long since returning from injury
against Stanford. He had a tackle for
loss against Arizona State and a pass
broken up. Against Stanford, Long
overcame a slow start with three solo
tackles, including two sacks for 17
yards lost.
Rover Patrick Chung played strong
against Washington, intercepting a
pass and returning it 26 yards. He led
Oregon with 11 tackles, four solo.
Breaking through
Wide receiver Jaison Williams had
his most impressive performance this
season, catching five passes for 55
yards and a touchdown against
Washington. The 6-foot-5, 237 red
shirt freshman from Inglewood,
Calif., now has 107 yards and two
touchdowns on the season.
Injuries
Kicker Matt Evensen had another
strong performance in Paul Mar
tinez’s absence with a leg injury.
Evensen converted six extra-point op
portunities and had a 30-yard field
goal in the third quarter.
Cornerback Aaron Gipson, who
didn’t play against Arizona State with
a concussion sustained against Stan
ford, returned Saturday and had two
solo tackles. His replacement against
Arizona State, Jackie Bates had an
other strong performance with three
tackles. Against the Sun Devils, Bates
had five tackles — four solo — and
two passes broken up.
