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-

gon State victory. 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

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
