SPORTS Friday, November 23, 2018 East Oregonian Page 3B Smith’s OSU plays for bragging rights in Civil War By ANNE M. PETERSON AP Sports Writer Jonathan Smith played in four Civil War games between Oregon and Ore- gon State, but one moment stands out from 2000 when the No. 5 Ducks played the No. 8 Beavers. Smith was quarterback for the Beavers while Joey Harrington was behind cen- ter for the Ducks. The game had big postseason implica- tions for both teams. Smith set the scene: “Sun was out. It was cold. Keith Jackson — the whole thing.” He threw a pair of touch- down passes to Robert Prescott and Jake Cookus (currently an assistant for the Beavers) pulled down three of Oregon State’s five inter- ceptions. The Beavers went on to win 23-13, reaching 10 wins for the first time in school history, then played in the Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame. The Ducks fin- ished 9-2 and played in the Holiday Bowl. “When you go 10-1 at a school that has never been 10-1, and was at rock bot- tom a few years ago, it doesn’t get any better than that,” Beavers coach Dennis Erickson said afterward. Smith said this week: “Probably one of my favor- ite memories of playing was taking a knee to win that game.” The other Civil War that sticks out for Smith is the 1998 double-overtime Ore- AP Photo/Elaine Thompson AP Photo/Chris Pietsch Oregon State quarterback Jake Luton passes against Washington in the first half of an NCAA college foot- ball game on Saturday, Nov. 17 in Seattle.

He fin- ished his career 2-2 in the rivalry game. The stakes are nowhere near as high in the 122nd Civil War. The Beavers (2-9, 1-7 Pac-12) are essen- tially playing for bragging rights in Smith’s first season as head coach in Corvallis. The Ducks (7-4, 4-4) are looking to improve their bowl prospects. First-year Ducks coach Mario Cris- tobal said emphasizing the postseason implications is just part of the team’s preparation. “I think you always assess yourself, the oppo- nent, you talk about both. We’re rebuilding a program, too,” he said. “To me that’s bert may the big- CIVIL WAR gest focus or may not of anything be playing else.

Here are some other Patrick, a four-star tight end things to know when Ore- who has committed to the gon and Oregon State meet: Ducks. Herbert’s last? Ore- Herbert has passed for gon quarterback Justin Her- 2,883 yards with 27 touch- downs this season. His streak of 26 games with a TD pass is the longest cur- rent streak in the nation. Luton’s last? The Civil War could cap quarterback Jake Luton’s tenure at Ore- gon State, which has been marked by injuries. Last season, he suffered a tho- racic spine fracture against Washington State. This year he had a concussion and a high ankle sprain that kept him out of four games. Smith said there’s a pos- sibility that Luton could petition for a medical hard- ship waiver for a sixth year of eligibility. Luton told The Oregonian this week that he’d be open to returning for another season. Mitchell history: Ore- gon wide receiver Dillon Mitchell has 68 catches for 1,105 yards and nine touch- downs this season. He ranks atop the Pac-12 for receiv- ing yards and is ninth in the nation with an average of 100.2 per game. He needs just 36 yards to break Josh Huff’s single-season school record for receiving yards. Freshman sensation: Oregon State true fresh- man running back Jermar Jefferson has rushed for 1,316 yards and 12 touch- downs this season. His total yards lead the nation among freshmen and his average of 119.6 yards puts him at seventh among all rushers nationally. “Obviously the back has garnered a lot of attention, and rightfully so, as a fresh- man he’s widely considered one of the best freshmen in the country. The offensive line has done a tremendous job for him,” Cristobal said in assessing the Beavers’ offense. The last time: Oregon State capped a turbulent year with a 69-10 loss to the Ducks at Autzen Stadium. Beavers coach Gary Ander- sen had abruptly left the team in the middle of a one- win season. Royce Freeman ran for 122 yards and two touchdowns and Herbert passed for 251 yards and three scores. It was the final game of a one-year stint as head coach for Willie Tag- gart, who left for Florida State in early December. “Probably one of my favorite memories of playing was taking a knee to win that game” — Jonathan Smith, OSU quarterback in 2000 for the No. 8 Beavers, beating the No. 5 Ducks 23-13 EASTERN OREGON marketplace Place classified ads online at www.easternoregonmarketplace.com or call 1-800-962-2819 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
