During the summer, Connecting Eugene tried to appeal a Riverfront development permit extension with the city and the Oregon Land Use Board of Appeals. The permit extension granted those working on the development an additional three years to the 20 years they had previously. The group lost both appeals to the permit extension and withdrew based on the LUBA’s decision, which concluded that a 23-year-old permit was not significantly different from a 20-year-old permit. Paul Cziko, a University graduate student and member of the group, said Connecting Eugene abandoned its appeal because fighting administrative systems wasn’t worth its time and money. This year, Connecting Eugene will instead focus its attention on making sure the plans comply with land use laws and checking the contract between the University and the Oregon University System. A big part of the group’s plan this year will be to include University President Richard Lariviere in the discussion.

Fire Station 13 responds to University and neighborhood calls for assistance Mat Wolf news reporter Last Wednesday at 8 a.m., the garage doors of Eugene’s Fire Station 13 flew up. A red fire engine roared out the driveway with its flashers blazing, and an onboard crew prepped for action. This was no reason for alarm, however, because after pulling out of the driveway about five feet, the engine slowly pulled back in and had it systems checked, and all the equipment on board accounted for by the station’s oncoming crew. It was only a test, a routine done every morning by oncoming engine crews to ensure that, in the case of a real emergency, the engine company can respond appropriately. STATE Tests and routine checks of gear and equipment are how Fire Station 13 stays prepared to deal with any situation to which it may be called.

The first and possibly only debate between the candidates found them somewhat antagonistic toward one another in their talking points, with Dudley trying to frame Kitzhaber as a defender of the status quo, and Kitzhaber attempting to portray Dudley as a new face beholden to the interests of the wealthy. The two men did agree on a number of issues, such as establishing a rainy-day fund for the state, modifying the capital gains tax visit us online Log onto dailyemerald.com to get news updates, watch multimedia and listen to weekly podcasts Dudley characterized himself as the candidate of change and job development through private-sector investment and the reduction of government. Dudley summarized his main philosophical difference from former governor Kitzhaber by referencing the age-old private investment versus public investment argument. “My opponent John believes politicians and government create jobs; I believe it’s business owners and entrepreneurs,” Dudley said. “Our past two governors have had more than 60 years in political experience, and yet look where we sit.” Kitzhaber redoubled his effort to establish himself as the candidate of the middle class, environmental conservation and clean energy. He made a dedicated effort to portray Dudley’s economic stance as not unlike those that caused the federal economic crisis of 2008. read our blogs Visit blogs.dailyemerald.com for extended coverage of campus and community news John kitzhaber chris dudley democratic candidate republican candidate “(Dudley) is proposing an $800-million tax cut that benefits the wealthiest of Oregonians and won’t create a single job for the 200,000 Oregonians who are out of work today,” Kitzhaber said. “(W)e need to create a climate ... that keeps more Oregon dollars being reinvested in Oregon.” The debate was formatted in two parts, the first of which was led by designated questioners: The Oregonian’s Jeff Mapes and KGW’s Laural Porter.

We arrived at Cabo Polonio at midday, with the sun directly overhead. Surrounded on three sides by the Atlantic Ocean, the town seemed to have been plucked out of an ’80s foreign flick. Each building was constructed with old plywood and recycled lumber, using vibrant paintings to cover every blemish. Each dwelling had a name. There were no power lines. Running water was 40 miles away. Not a single American product or advertisement was in sight. Cabo Polonio exhibited a pure, raw culture: the fact that they will miss the newest episode of “Jersey Shore” is as strange a thought as math to a journalist. The single bar in town was made out of plants — its owner a blind, bearded old man who waited on customers by candlelight. The fish served in the restaurants were caught and filleted within hours of dinner. The townspeople sifted through each other’s garbage daily — making treasure out of another person’s trash. My arrival in Rosario, Argentina, was met with a different feeling. Unlike Cabo Polonio, a fantasy paradigm sustained by a tourist economy, Rosario has undoubtedly been tainted by the big, yellow arch and the orange swoosh. However, it has not completely conformed. If Rosario were a person, it would be someone going through a midlife crisis. Arriving to live with my host family introduced the first of cultural paradoxes. Dinner was genuine — decorated with homemade “tartas” and “carne lunas” (fried bread with cheese and meat). Frequent conversation reduced my self-assured American gulps to more modest and reasonably paced helpings. Following the feast, I encountered an episode of “Family Guy” in the living room. The show was broadcast in English with Spanish subtitles. I couldn’t believe Stewie Griffin followed me all the way to Argentina; I turned to my host brother Ezquiel in confusion. “People love (“Family Guy” here), except it is difficult to translate the pop-culture references and many of the jokes, so there are often awkward moments,” he said. My host-brother has an intriguing, grounded, Argentine mojo. After a month in Eugene at the Knight Law School and trips to New York and San Francisco, his bilingual proficiency enables him to talk in one language and laugh in another. I envy his ability to transcend the limits of his native tongue. That night we went out to Berlin, a popular bar in town. At first I was humbled by the Italian architecture, the heavily distilled Fernet liquor, and my grave inability to speak the native tongue. Trying to talk to a girl in broken grammar and cavemanlike Spanish has a way of putting you in your place. Then the English chorus started resounding from all directions. The crowd, numbering around 300 people, was singing the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ “By the Way.” Right after was Incubus. Then Beck. And then the Black Eyed Peas. My world became flat and small, altering the complexion my cross-cultural experience had exhibited. Leaving the club didn’t do much to save me from this feeling. Strolling down Cordoba Street is like walking through Valley River Center. On the left is Nike. On the right is Ross. McDonald’s is situated on the first floor of perhaps the most elegant building, with prices unaffordable for the majority of Argentines. The youth venture up and down, window-shopping with mannerisms that could be compared to Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. It appears that purchasing from American companies is a sort of status symbol. “Kids today in Argentina pronounce some words without an accent to make them seem more American,” said Gaston Santhia, a communications specialist for Vision Media. “When I was a kid, we used to wait for ‘El Nino Dijos’ to bring us presents. After 1983, we started waiting for Santa Claus. Even places with indigenous roots such as Salta and Patagonia started to celebrate Christmas.” Sunday in Rosario, there will be an “asado.” Friends and family will gather and cook meat on a parilla barbecue, talk about soccer and argue over politics. At night, the youth will take to the “discos” and dance to “cumbia” music. Newly formed couples will meet in the park the next day to drink “mate” and kiss each other as the sun sets over the Rio de Panama. But the next day, more of their bands will write songs in English. More of their children will ask their parents for a Big Mac. More of their college students will purchase a knock-off iPod; more of their 15-year-olds will go to Walt Disney World for their birthday. We are in a bold new world — shrinking in both size and identity — with Cabo Polonio quickly becoming nothing more than a tourist attraction.

This is her first year on staff at the Emerald, where she is writing the college life blog called “College Ruled.” Aside from writing, Baylea loves to work out, listen to music, read, drink coffee and meet a variety of different people on campus and in Eugene. make your ideas known Have something to say about an article we wrote? Comment online at dailyemerald.com relationship out a little bit longer. Sophomore Jennah Stillman is one of coffee’s many lovers. Not only does she involve herself romantically with him — she works two jobs for him. “I think being a barista gives you the ability to help others and bring a smile to their face,” Stillman said. Working at both Marche Cafe and Hideway Bakery, Stillman admits to still drinking two to three cups of coffee daily. “Some days I have my own natural energy to get through the day without it — but at the same time I’m not naturally endowed to keep up with the pace of life at all times. I don’t need it, but I love it,” Stillman said. Stillman simply refers to coffee as “the dance with the liquid devil.” “Coffee give s me the chance to sit and slow down from my day and take a look at the world around me,” Stillman said. Accepting his love makes her relationship with coffee one of enjoyment — not. Jennah Stillman will be embracing her love of coffee as frequently as she desires, but I will spend this year fighting my lingering temptation of my love/hate relationship. I spent my summer far from Oregon enjoying my independence from coffee and even started seeing other beverages. My friends have always raved online opinion blogs brian morton illustrator about the health benefits of tea, and they urged me to give him a chance. It would be absurd to say there wasn’t some curiosity floating through my head, and in the end their opinions persuaded me. Although we were only in the early steps of a relationship, we could never make it anything real. Tea was only a rebound, and although he was much more Look for a new opinion blog every day of the week at blogs.dailyemerald.com/opinion affordable and not as clingy, I never felt the same connection with him that I did with coffee. I said it was me, not him, and we decided it wasn’t meant to be. Coming back to Eugene and breaking my attachment to coffee will be trying. Late-night studying will be more difficult, and making plans to have coffee with friends may be less frequent. I’ll probably got something to say? Send guest commentaries and letters to the editor to [email protected] editorial board Baylea O’Brien Last year my love life took an unexpected turn. Following high school, freshman year of college marked a new beginning. After getting out of a two-year relationship, I knew the last thing I wanted was a serious commitment. That was, until I met coffee. It started out simple — a flirtatious cup every other morning, a cool frappuccino on a hot day — you know, casual dating. But the relationship quickly gained momentum, and before I knew it, that one cup every other day became at least two a day. No longer did I order a 12-ounce single-shot vanilla latte with no foam. My orders became more and more complex. Before I even knew it, my single, proactive mission turned into a dependent and exclusive relationship. We were in love — but I couldn’t bear being so dependent on anyone. So much so, that at times, I actually hated being with coffee. Like most girls, I confided in my friends; to my surprise, almost half of them were dancing around the same cycle. This love/hate relationship would have to stop, and I held on to summer as my only opportunity for freedom. So I waited … and after nine long months of dragging out the relationship, summer finally granted me closure. But some chose to stretch the meet with coffee (if he is willing, that is) occasionally to reminisce on the good times and remember how naive I once was. As my wallet recuperates and my heart mends, it seems I’ll soon realize I did the right thing. And I’m sure, one day, coffee will too. Jennah is a much better fit for him than I could ever be. bobrien @ dailyemerald . com Nora Simon Kaitlin Kenny editor in chief scene editor Lauren Fox Greg Dewar managing editor columnist Tyree Harris Thomas Kyle-Milward opinion editor columnist Friday, October 1, 2010 Oregon Daily Emerald 3a NEWS Textbooks HIGHER EDUCATION continued from page 1A Benefits of college degree extend further into society stefan verbano news reporter Attaining a college degree may benefit more than just your pocketbook, says a new College Board report released last week. The third and final installment of “Education Pays: the Benefits of Higher Education for Individuals and Society,” released on Sept. 21, finds that bachelor’s degreeholders will be better off throughout their lives in terms of salaried earnings, healthy lifestyles, job satisfaction, employment opportunities, health care and pension benefits, and even parenting abilities. The general findings of the report go further than the 2004 and 2007 installments, delineating how a college-educated workforce is more likely to vote, send their children to college and ease the burden on fellow taxpayers by keeping in good health. According to the report, the median income of bachelor’s degree-holders working yearround, full-time jobs in 2008 was $55,700, while the median yearly income of a similar worker holding only a high school diploma was $33,800. In terms of job satisfaction, 58 percent of college graduates and individuals with some four-year college education, along with associate degree-holders, reported being “very satisfied” with their current employment in 2008. Comparatively, 50 percent of high school graduates and 40 percent of individuals without a high school diploma reported having enjoyable occupations. The College Board report also said that a college degree may correlate to healthier diets and lifestyles. Between 1998 and 2008, college-educated adults were less than half as likely to be smokers (around 10 percent) The report, titled “A Cover to Cover Solution,” notes that increasing textbook prices can deter students of lower socioeconomic statuses from attending college and often places an unfair amount of power into the hands of large, wealthy book publishers. Percent of parents who read to their children daily in 2007 based on degree Bachelor’s Degree: 68 percent Associate Degree: 57 percent College education but no degree: 47 percent “The average student spends $900 per year on textbooks, which increases at roughly four times the rate of inflation,” Denson said. High school graduates: 41 percent No high school diploma: 26 percent than high school graduates (almost 30 percent). Degree-holders are less likely to be obese in every age group, and even children living in households with more educated parents are less likely than their peers to be obese. Jessica Wilson, a nutritionist with the University Health Center, said recreational activities and nutrition awareness on college campuses helps students develop and maintain healthy habits. “There are far more opportunities in post-secondary education to learn about healthy eating for little or no cost compared to the general public,” Wilson said. “Universities and colleges provide a lot of opportunities to access information to help students create behavior changes like one-on-one nutrition education, nutrition courses, emotional and spiritual health services, and free recreational activity services, and these can contribute to creating healthier lifestyles and behavior changes.” Sandy Baum, co-author of the report and policy analyst for the College Board, is quick to note that the report’s purpose is not to convince all potential college students that a post-secondary degree is necessary. Baum simply wanted to provide data and point out overall trends so that people can make up their own minds about pursuing additional education. “Nobody is saying everybody should get a bachelor’s degree ... we need all kinds of people in all kinds of jobs,” Baum said in the report. “Our goal is not to be convincing people of something so much as it is to provide solid information to which people can refer in order to reach conclusions that are based not on anecdotes but on evidence.” Some members of the University administration share the report’s sentiment in that the pursuit of higher education benefits more than just individuals. “There is no question in my mind that a college education is one of the most important investments an individual and a society can make,” Vice President for Finance and Administration Frances Dyke said. “Education is the very foundation on which a strong and free society is built.” At the same time, Dyke feels that the group of potential students who can reap the benefits associated with a college degree is shrinking due to declining publicly-sponsored educational opportunities for the middle class. “The challenge (surrounding) the rising price of tuition is that public support has declined dramatically and below acceptable levels,” Dyke said. “The unfortunate consequence of (this) is that students also must acquire additional loans ... and universities must make prudent decisions that ensure both quality and access.” The speakers presented the current status of federal and state textbook affordability laws, including the federal Higher Education Opportunity Act of 2008 and Oregon State Senate Bill 365, adopted by the legislature in 2007. This legislation requires college textbook publishers to afford professors Debate continued from page 1A moderator took questions from audience members and questions submitted by citizens online. During the second part of the debate, when a more spontaneous atmosphere was created by the involvement of the audience, Kitzhaber challenged Dudley to a second debate at the City Club of Portland on Oct. 8. Dudley’s response wasn’t to accept or deny, but instead to I teach,” Dembrow said. “Sometimes their textbooks cost more than the tuition for their actual classes.” challenge Kitzhaber to a debate in Medford. Jeff Mapes, one of the debate’s questioners and a reporter for The Oregonian, said in a post-debate interview that he thought both candidates did a good job making their cases. “Kitzhaber came across as very knowledgeable, as usual,” Mapes said. “Dudley did a good job of returning to his talking points ... he maybe faltered a couple of times.” 1994 debate in which Kitzhaber “carved up” opponent Denny Smith. Mapes said he was surprised that political newcomer Dudley held his own the way he did against the seasoned politician. “I watched Kitzhaber in 1994 ... and I recall him almost wielding his surgeon’s scalpel. And he wasn’t able to do this. That was striking to me,” Mapes said.

OSPIRG came under fire during the 2008-2009 academic year when the ASUO discontinued its contract after the Athletics and Contracts Finance Committee decided the group sent too much incidental fee money towards offcampus issues that did not directly pertain to students. The group attempted to regain student funding last year, requesting a new $117,000 budget contract from the ASUO, but was denied. OSPIRG has since worked to redevelop its image in the eyes of students. According to its website, OSPIRG’s mission is to amplify student voices on topics including health care, environmental issues and consumer protection in legislation. higher education [email protected] city & state politics Is your car ready for Fall and Winter driving?

Other cost-saving strategies were discussed in the conference, including the prospect of state-wide bulk book purchasing, used book exchanges and open-source course materials. “The next step to making textbooks more affordable is to support open-source textbooks,” Arora said. “However, since three-quarters of students surveyed (in the report) prefer print textbooks, it is important to have both print and digital formats available.” In addition to his work in Oregon politics, Dembrow has also taught English literature classes for the past two decades at Portland Community College, where he has witnessed the problems surrounding textbook affordability firsthand. “This is a huge issue, especially for the students www.waynesgarage.com higher education sverbano @ dailyemerald . com gain experience [ now hiring web designer & web developer ] The Oregon Daily Emerald Web desk seeks a Web designer to create short-term, content-based projects and a Web developer to work on long-term, programming-based projects for www.dailyemerald.com.

This includes all of the stations’s equipment, not just the engines: defibrillators, radios, thermal imaging devices, hoses, air tanks and breathing masks. Smith estimates both of the station’s engines combined have well over a million dollars worth of investment of equipment and training behind them. All of the medical equipment onboard the engines is also checked every morning. Cziko said. Senate resolution read. ASUO Environmental Advocate Nathan Howard is working on a resolution for the University Senate. Over the years, ASUO Senate has passed resolutions condemning the non-transparent method of simply renewing the permit for the lease without consulting student input. A large part of the group’s opposition to the development is based on the fact that the proposal was originally permitted in October 1989 and was approved for an extension last year for three more years while they feel the community was not allowed comment. “The Campus Planning Committee serves as the primary mechanism for student voice with regards to University Development, and was not properly consulted with regards to this specific 4.2-acre site,” a 2009 ASUO Rousseau and former ASUO presidents Emma Kallaway and Sam Dotters-Katz have worked with Connecting Eugene, but ASUO involvement began in October 1989 with the original permit request. There was an ASUO ballot measure at the end of BE HEARD. This is especially important because most of the calls Fire Station 13 responds to are medical in nature, and usually involving fires. Some of the medicine and painkillers onboard have to be accounted for at all times because of their controlled substance status. Fire Station 13 also adheres to a strict code for everything to be put in its place. First responders in Lane County are required to store all medical equipment and substances in the exact same quantity and location on every engine. As a result, any and all personnel know exactly where something is when they need it. Smith eagerly demonstrated some of the tools firefighters have at their disposal. He demonstrated a thermal imaging camera (TIC) that displays human body heat as bright white light. All of the hair on the body is invisible, but the outlines of the eyes and mouth can still clearly be seen because they give off less heat. The result is an image of a human figure that looks like a ghostly skeleton. the 1989-90 school year that was passed to discourage development place north of the railroad tracks. Rousseau said she does not oppose the purpose of the building, but the location of the proposal. She would like to see a plan to redesign the building to promote a better use of space. “We’re not against research, but it shouldn’t be in our precious green spaces,” she said. Cziko went to a meeting of the Oregon State Board of Higher Education in June with Rousseau and attorney Jan Wilson of the Western “If you saw that laying on the floor or something, you’d definitely know what it was. You could definitely identify the human features,” Smith said. They also operate with customized self-contained breathing apparatuses. Theoretically these hold enough air to provide a half-hour’s worth of air to their wearer, but this may not always be the case. After a firefighter dons 40 pounds of equipment, and has to perform work that’s physically exhausting, the air supply might be substantially reduced. Once his day is done, Smith and his crew will hand off the responsibilities of the station to the next day’s crew, and be back on the job two days later to begin their routine all over again. Ideally, their route will be an uneventful and safe affair, but in the event it’s not, Fire Station 13 makes sure it’s overly prepared to respond to their community’s unique emergencies. crime & safety mwolf @ dailyemerald . com Environmental Law Center. They were not on the official agenda for the meeting but presented anyway in an attempt to get the attention of and put pressure on Lariviere. Their intentions with the meeting in June and the University Senate proposal have been to compel Lariviere into some action on the proposed development. “Connecting Eugene is trying to keep the conversation going,” Rousseau said. “Why are they building the structure that the entire community doesn’t want?” campus & federal politics fbains @ dailyemerald . com Write a letter to the editor [email protected] [R] 150 440 730 1020 [R] 220 505 740 1025 Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Inception [PG-13] 1225 345 705 1025 d_5x10p_1 Legends of the [PG-13] 100 230 400 530 Guardians: The Owls 700 830 1000 You Again of Ga’hoole [PG] 120 350 620 850 Legends of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga’hoole (3D) [PG] 1215 245 515 745 1015 27512 [PG] 1205 235 505 735 1005 [R] 145 430 715 1000 “This is a student voice issue ...

Eugene Fire & EMS Department spokesperson Glen Potter, said there is never an exact number of personnel stationed at any given station. The Town The Expendables Let Me In Capt. Ray Smith, one of three captains who operate the three engine crews assigned to the station, said 80 percent of his calls are medical in nature and often involve students. His station responded to the Gerlinger Annex fire in June, but the majority of fire alarms, like the recent spate at the EMU, are false alarms. Earlier Thursday morning $15 Unlimited Per Week $60 Unlimited Per Month Alpha and Omega (3D) Fire Station 13 is located near the intersection of the East 17th Avenue and Agate Street. It’s immediately across from Hayward Field and next door to the University’s ROTC program offices.

This weekend, the Ducks will visit the Bay Area to take on a pair of national powers, No. 8 California and No. 1 Stanford. And even though Oregon has achieved its fair share of early season success, Duck coach Jim Moore knows his squad is in for a challenge. “It’s going to be real tough,” Moore said. “People want to make a big deal of what happened in the past, but that doesn’t matter.” That’s not to say that Oregon’s undefeated start and home sweep of Washington and Washington State are totally irrelevant. With only one upperclassman in its playing rotation, Oregon is one of the youngest teams in the conference, and a hot start has given the Ducks a needed confidence boost. “I think that’s the biggest thing, it proved to (the team) that they could be competitive,” Moore said. The win over the highly-rated Huskies also gave Oregon more insight into what it needed to improve upon to be competitive in Pac-10 play. Several Washington players had big nights hitting, and the Ducks know they will need a better defensive effort to stick with the Bay Area schools. ”If we can block and play defense better, we’re going to have a better opportunity to win some more games,” redshirt sophomore Alaina Bergsma said. At the same time, the Ducks hope to build off an offensive attack that was clicking on all cylinders last weekend. Bergsma, who earned American Volleyball Coaches Association National Player of the Week honors for her 33-kill weekend, said Oregon’s passing was on target. “We passed really well and that helped (setter) Lauren Plum open up the offense and distribute the ball really well,” Bergsma said. Oregon will need to repeat that feat to have a shot at knocking off two of the nation’s premier teams. Despite the loss of last season’s Pac-10 Player of the Year, Hana Cutura, Cal is 12-0 and leads the conference in hitting percentage (.347). Oregon split its two meetings with the Bears last year. To beat Cal, the Ducks will have to slow down the powerful combination of setter Carli Lloyd and outside hitter Tarrah Murrey. Lloyd ranks fourth in the Pac10 in assists, while Murrey checks in at No. 3 in kills. That said, Moore has no plans of changing his team’s approach to combat such a dynamic opponent. “(To beat) Cal, it’s the same thing it is with everybody,” Moore said. “We’re going to have to serve and pass really well, and if we pass, then we can run our offense. We have to block better and keep digging balls.” The same will hold true on Saturday against the nation’s best team, Stanford, who ended Penn State’s 109-match winning streak earlier this year. Stanford has excellent depth, but is best known for its senior outside hitter, Alix Klineman. Klineman made the AllPac-10 team in each of her first three college seasons, and presents a challenge for any defense. “I don’t know that you can control Klineman,” Moore said. Although the Ducks were able to contain the Pac-10’s kill leader, Washington State’s Meagan Ganzer, over the weekend, Klineman poses a different kind of threat. “Ganzer at Washington State, I said we had to be able to slow down, but (Klineman) is a kid who touches 11 feet, so she basically renders the block non-existent because she can go right over the top of it,” Moore said. And though the Ducks can take some consolation in a 3-2 home defeat of Stanford last season, leaving Palo Alto with a victory will be a tall task. “They’re very hot right now,” Moore said. “We can try to do some things defensively we were able to do that last year up here, but its another thing to be able to do that down there.” adrukarev @ dailyemerald . com jack hunter photographer Oregon freshman Lauren Plum sets the ball during Oregon’s 3-1 win against Washington at McArthur Court on Sept. 25 .

CHRIS FITZGERALD Oregon is an even .500 on the year after dropping its fourth match to No. 13 Santa Clara in Northern California. On paper, the match was just another loss, but the flow of that game gives Oregon reason to think they can beat some of the nation’s best teams. In Santa Clara, the Ducks outshot the Broncos 12-9, the ninth time this season that Oregon has outshot an opponent. “We controlled that second half (and) gave them a good match ... we are on the road to becoming a dangerous team FREELANCE REPORTER Oregon soccer head coach Tara Erickson expects to learn a great deal about her team on Friday night. The unranked Ducks (4-4-2) will take on No. 4 Portland (10-1) in an annual clash which has gone Portland’s way for the last twelve years. The Pilots’ lone defeat this season came in Palo Alto to the nation’s best, the Stanford Cardinal. That contest was just last week, but game day coverage “They’re good.

To put those losses in perspective, that trio essentially made Oregon volleyball during the past few years. Newcombe finished her Oregon career as the career leader in points (1,852) third in attacks (4,318) and digs (1,233), and fourth in kills (1,580). She was named a second-team All-American her senior year. Enesi is No.1 in Oregon history with 389 block assists, third in points (1,315.5), and fifth in total blocks (436). She was a third-team All American her senior year. Djordjevic is Oregon’s career leader in assists with 4,400. She earned All-Pac-10 honorable mention honors her senior year. So, yeah. That’s a lot of talent to replace. To make matters worse, there’s only one upperclassman (Heather Meyers) in the Ducks’ regular playing rotation to replace the massive void. Because of that, logic would dictate Oregon would regress this season. Instead, the Ducks have taken a step forward. Sophomore Katherine Fischer has continued to improve from her All Pac-10 freshman campaign, checking in at No. 4 in the conference in aces per set (.42 per) and No. 8 in points per set (4.57). Redshirt sophomore Alaina Bergsma has been a revelation since arriving on campus as a transfer from Loyola Marymount. She recently earned both Pac-10 Campus Digital Printing Best Hangover Breakfast! Authentic Korean & Asian cuisine Player of the Week and National Player of the Week honors for her play last weekend against the Washington schools. Sophomore libero Haley Jacob ranks sixth in the Pac-10 in digs, freshman middle blocker Ariana Williams is No. 6 in hitting percentage, and sophomore outside hitter Jocelyn Levig and sophomore Kellie Kawasaki have made strong contributions. Heck, a few months ago freshman setter Lauren Plum was navigating the halls of Poway High School in Southern California. Now, Plum leads the Pac-10 in assists per set with 12.23. The team’s lone upperclassman, Meyers, has also been excellent, leading the Pac-10 in service aces with .78 per set and checking in at No. 7 in points, but is only a part of the Ducks’ success this season. You get the point. With the exception of Meyers, the players on this Ducks squad will be around for a while. If the team matures like you could reasonably expect, look out. Some of the Pac-10’s premier players will be lost to graduation after this year. I’m looking at you, Stanford outside hitter Alix Klineman. That means the conference should be up for grabs for the next several seasons. And if the early returns are any indication, the Ducks will be right there in contention. So why not jump on the bandwagon now, while there’s still space and front row seats to be had. adrukarev @ dailyemerald . com 39¢ Color Copies Full Digital Service Binding Prints up to 12"x18" PDF Files Only Campus Cash Department Index Cash and Check Pan-fried noodles Vegetarian options Healthy hot soup Monday-Saturday 11:30 a.m.-3 p.m., 5 - 9 p.m. 860 Pearl St. 541-686-1114 27142 21641 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2x3p_1 27400 13th & Kincaid 541.344.6174 Like it does every fall, football fever has overtaken the University of Oregon campus. The Ducks are ranked No. 4 in the nation and are set to take on No. 9 Stanford in prime time tomorrow. The ESPN GameDay crew is here, and the University again finds itself in the national spotlight. A win over Stanford would likely catapult the Ducks into the national title discussion — and might even allow Oregon to move past the blue turf-lovin’ Boise State Broncos in national polls. But you already knew that. So, fellow Oregon students, a piece of unsolicited advice: If you’re struggling to find something to do during your lengthy pre-game tailgate Saturday, I’d recommend paying attention to another highly touted Oregon team you might not know so much about. The No. 11 women’s volleyball team finds itself 14-0 after a historic upset of then-No. 7 University of Washington on Saturday. In that game, the Ducks topped the Huskies in Eugene for the first time in a decade. On the surface, that’s impressive, but not all that remarkable. After all, the Pac-10 is the strongest volleyball league in the country with six schools ranked in the top 12 nationally. But many expected the volleyball team to encounter its fair share of struggles this season.

Four of the top five women’s teams, as ranked by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll, are among 11 ranked schools in the 24-team women’s field. The men’s team features 19 schools, eight of which are ranked in a competitive early test for the Ducks. Five Oregon cross country All-Americans — junior Luke Puskedra, senior Matthew Centrowitz and senior Danny Mercado for the men, and senior Alex Kosinski and sophomore Jordan Hasay for the women — will make their season debuts in South Bend, along with program veteran seniors A.J. Acosta and Zoe Buckman. The women’s race will begin at 1:15 p.m., encompassing 5,000 meters. The men’s 5-mile race follows at 5 p.m. Eastern.

Kuhns’ four-goal game against Butler put her second on the Ducks in scoring this season. Micaela Capelle paces the Pilots. She has six of the team’s 22 total goals. Fellow freshman Erin Dees is the Portland anchor in net. Over eight starts, her goalsagainst average is well below one per contest (0.500). Oregon will have to contend with a Portland team that has won its last 30 home matches dating back to the very first match of the 2008 season. So far this season, the Pilots have outscored opponents 11-3 in Portland, but within those same scoring numbers exists a quandary. by senior Ken Scoggin, juniors Spencer Carter and Travis Stanford, sophomore Walker Augustyniak and freshmen Tim Costin, Mitch Hunt and Hank Morrison. In the same way the Ducks got off to a slow start in Santa Clara, the Pilots have been slow starters throughout this season. Opponents are outscoring Portland by a 6-5 margin through the first 45 minutes of play, a statistic which Coach Erickson plans to exploit. Despite outscoring the opposition 17-2 in the second half of matches, Portland’s skewed goal-scoring numbers give the Ducks a well-defined plan of attack. Senior forward Jen Stoltenberg headlines Oregon’s offense. The veteran has six goals this season, which is good for fourth in the conference. Senior midfielder Kirstie Kuhns has launched her way into the upper echelon of Oregon scorers; she netted all of her four goals on the season in a convincing 6-1 win over Butler two weeks ago. The onslaught of production echoes the senior’s effectiveness all season long on the field. “Kirstie (and Linsday Parlee) do a lot to motivate us on the field,” Stoltenberg said. “They’re both very helpful in that way.” Oregon’s plan of attack is no secret — they want to get ahead quickly against the Pilots.

The No. 11 Oregon Ducks are facing third and goal to go from the 1-yard line. Alex Zendejas’ 41yard field goal to open up double-overtime put the Arizona Wildcats ahead, 41-38. The Ducks responded with a 23-yard strike from Jeremiah Masoli to Ed Dickson on first and 10 from the 25-yard line. A sense of inevitability creeps over the ZonaZoo — at least, those that remained from prematurely rushing the field at Arizona Stadium. Oregon has three wide receivers in the formation; Dickson is split out in the left slot. LaMichael James is positioned just behind Masoli’s left shoulder in the backfield. Arizona has seven defenders in the box; each receiver is single-covered. Center Jordan Holmes snaps the ball. As Masoli extends his arms, placing the ball in James’ chest, Wildcat linebackers crash the offensive line. The left outside linebacker and left defensive end move outside as the middle linebacker and right outside linebacker travel inward. Masoli then pulls the ball away from James, freezing the left-side defenders momentarily. That moment was all he needed. The now-former Ducks quarterback scored his third rushing and sixth overall touchdown on the night. Oregon 44, Arizona 41, Final, two overtimes.

NEWS Story tips? 541.346.5511 x320 2x3p_1 d_2x7p_1 When asked by reporters to describe the versatile Stanford offensive attack, cornerback Anthony Gildon summed it up by explaining, “You never know what you’re going to get.” As it turns out, Gildon’s description also proves apt at predicting the outcome of Saturday’s matchup between No. 9 Stanford (4-0) and No. 4 Oregon (4-0). Bloggers and pundits may come up with their own projections, but the truth is, no one knows quite how this game will turn out. What Chip Kelly and the Ducks do know, however, is that Stanford may provide the toughest competition they face all season. “(Stanford’s) got quality depth on both sides of the ball,” Kelly said. “(They are) really well coached, and they’re a good special teams team, that’s why they’re a top-10-ranked team coming in.” Indeed, a quick look at the numbers backs up Kelly’s description. The Cardinal ranks fourth in the nation in points per game (48.0) and 24th in total offense (457.50 yards per game). Stanford’s attack is evenly divided between the run and pass, as the team averages 223.3 rushing yards per game to go along with 234.3 passing yards. Priority number one for head coach Jim Harbaugh and his offense, however, is the running game. “Stanford’s a run first team,” Gildon said. “So they like to establish the run and then hit you with play action fakes over the top. So we’ve gotta stop the run and we’ve gotta stop the pass.” Stanford’s statistics on defense may be even more impressive. The Cardinal gives up just 13.8 points per game, and ranks 11th in the nation in total defense (256 yards per game). Against a squad that allows just 144.25 passing yards per game, Oregon quarterback Darron Thomas knows that he has his work cut out for him. “It’s going to be a competitive game,” Thomas said. “I think it’s the hardest game we’ve played this year, so it’s going to be a challenge.” One thing the Ducks will not lack on Saturday will be motivation. No one has forgotten the 51-42 beating the Cardinal put on Oregon last season in Palo Alto, and revenge will be on the mind come Saturday night. “We’ve just got to make sure simon warby stanford daily Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh has rebuilt the Cardinal program over his three-plus years in Palo Alto. Harbaugh’s defense ranks 11th in the nation in total yardage and has given up an average of 13.8 points per game in 2010. we come out better prepared that we were last year,” defensive tackle Brandon Bair said. “Because they wanted to win it more than us then. So this year is a whole new year.” Led by All-American running back Toby Gerhart, Stanford racked up 254 rushing yards in last year’s matchup. Gerhart may have departed for the NFL, but the Cardinal still clogs the line with up to seven offensive linemen looking to pound opponents on the ground. “We knew they were a six offensive linemen, seven offensive linemen scheme last year going into the game,” Kelly said. “We just need to do a better job getting lined up and tackling … We didn’t do a good job of tackling against them last year and that’s going to be the key.” Bair echoed K el l y ’ s sentiments, and sounded confident that this year’s story will be quite different. “We’ll handle whatever comes our way,” Bair said. “Seven offensive linemen, five, two, I don’t care what they put up there, we’ll get ready for it, we’ll handle it.” Of course, the running game is far from the only thing the defense has to worry about. Redshirt sophomore quarterback Andrew Luck has quickly emerged as one of the top passers in the country, and could be the difference maker on Saturday. “I think he’s one of the smarter quarterbacks we’ve ever faced,” Kelly said. “Because he’s got a great understanding of what they’re doing … He’s the total package.” As one of the cornerbacks charged with stopping Luck, Gildon was effusive in his praise. “He can make all the throws, and he’s a smart player,” Gildon said. “So you’ve gotta account for that, and he can run, so he can basically do it all.” Tight ends have also proven to be key weapons in Stanford’s attack, as Gildon discovered while watching film. “One thing about Stanford is they run a lot of tight ends,” Gildon said. “So they get a lot of max protect … The receivers get a lot of time to run routes, but they run really nice routes, and they’ve got some good speed on them.” The Oregon defense will have to rely on varying schemes designed to fluster Luck. Whether they work or not will not be known until Saturday. “We’ll see, won’t we?” Gildon said. pmalee @ dailyemerald . com Nude Hours 26976 12pm - 2:15am Daily Full Bar • Lottery • Outdoor Patio Champagne Room 1836 South ‘A’ St., Spfld • 541.762.1503 Only 5 mins from campus!

They are playing a lot better on the defensive side of the ball,” Oregon head coach Kelly said. “They’ve changed their scheme defensively, and are really playing very hard on the defensive side of the ball. (They’re) really well coached,” he said. Stanford head coach Jim Harbaugh hired Baltimore Ravens defensive assistant Vic Fangio last offseason to help upgrade a defense that finished ninth in the Pac-10 Conference in total defense and last in third-down and red-zone defense. Fangio, a 26-year veteran of the NFL and USFL, replaced the Cardinal’s 4-3 defensive scheme with a base 3-4 defense. “They play a lot of odd, a lot of 3-4, a lot of three big guys, ‘backers lock down, stuff like that to just try to use their defensive scheme to their advantage,” Ducks offensive tackle Mark Asper said. “You don’t know who’s coming or where pressure is coming from each play to throw off your offensive blocking scheme.” Thus far, Stanford is 11th in the country in total defense (256 yards per game) and passing defense (144.25 yards per game) and is tied for 12th in scoring defense (13.75 points per game). The team that tallied 21 sacks all of last season has 14 this season, tied for sixth in per-game statistics nationally. “They’re big, they’re fast and they’re, well, Stanford. They look smart,” Asper said. While the revamped Cardinal defense has caught opponents off guard this season, Oregon players expressed confidence in their preparation. After all, the Duck offense sees similar looks in practice. “It’s very similar to our defense. Their scheme is very similar to our scheme,” center Jordan Holmes said. “Since we’re so familiar with it, we know what to look for. We need to make sure we know where they’re coming from blitz-wise, and how many people they bring.” One of the familiar aspects of the Cardinal defense is the presence of Thomas Keiser. The junior from Wexford, Pa., started all 13 games at defensive end for Stanford last season, racking up a team-high 15.0 tackles for loss. Kaiser will encroach upon the line of scrimmage in the same fashion as Oregon’s “drop end,” a defensive end who often blends into coverage. “They have their Kenny Rowe,” Holmes said. “That’s 2 tacos & a Pacifico $7 Econo Pint Wednesdays All draft beers only $2.50 Drink Wheel Thurdays $2.50 drink specials starting at 10pm Been to yet?

Asper said the Stanford defense runs the same hybrid 3-4 defense that the Ducks do, giving his team an edge in preparation for Saturday’s game. what we refer to other teams when they have a drop end.” Stanford’s two inside linebackers, senior Owen Marecic and sophomore Shayne Skov, are dynamic players that command attention in the film room. “Against Notre Dame, a couple of times I saw those guys time up the cadence,” Asper said of the Cardinal’s 37-14 victory over the Fighting Irish last week. “They figured out the other team’s cadence, so they were in the backfield before the offensive line was even up. They run downhill and fill really hard. And, I’ve also seen them power through some of those Notre Dame offensive linemen, so they’re strong.” Marecic (pronounced maREE-sick) has plenty of power in reserve, pulling double duty as the team’s starting fullback on offense. Skov was third on the team with 62 tackles as a true freshman, and has a reputation as a fierce hitter. oregon continued on page 7B STANFORD NOTES Portland native leads dominant defense TheKeystoneCafe.com Serving breakfast & lunch for vegans/vegetarians/meat lovers We serve locally brewed Wandering Goat coffee, mimosas, Oakshire & Ninkasi brews – Corner of Lawrence since 1979 – Owen Marecic and the Cardinal are Oregon’s toughest competition yet 24166 395 W. 5th • Eugene, OR • 541-342-2075 Open Daily, 7 am. -3 p.m. LUCAS CLARK sports editor With 7:58 remaining in the fourth quarter in Stanford’s game against Notre Dame last Saturday, senior Owen Marecic scored two touchdowns in a 13-second span to extend the Cardinal’s lead over the Fighting Irish and helped the Cardinal improve to 4-0 on the year, marking the programs best start since the 1986 season. On his first score, Marecic capped an 11-play, 49-yard drive with a one-yard scoring charge through the middle of the stout Stanford offensive line. After the ensuing kickoff, Marecic then intercepted Irish quarterback Dayne Crist’s first pass of the possession and returned it 20 yards for another Cardinal score. Stanford 37, Notre Dame 14. Bring on Oregon. Now in his senior season as Stanford’s starting fullback and linebacker, Marecic has gained national attention as one of the few dominant two-way players in Division-I football. A biology and pre-medicine student, Marecic has all the right tools to disrupt any opposing game plan. “Just a will, the indomitable will and a great work ethic,” Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh said in his weekly sit-down PIZZA & A PINT ALL TUESDAY NIGHT! 8.95 $ jenn pegg stanford daily Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck runs past multiple Notre Dame defenders on Sept. 25.

A graduate of Jesuit High School in Portland, Marecic will be back in Oregon yet again to try and come away with his first-ever win in Eugene. Oregon has taken seven of the last eight matchups between the two schools, the lone Stanford win coming last year in Stanford Stadium — Oregon’s only conference loss — by a count a 51-42. The headliner in that game, Toby Gerhart, has since departed to the NFL to play for the Minnesota Vikings. But through four games it appears Stanford hasn’t lost a beat offensively. “We’ve got to stop the run,” Oregon senior linebacker Casey Matthews said. “Force them to pass a little more. Because if they have some success with the run it’ll make our (defensive backs) play closer, which we, we can’t have that.” That combination of a lethal running game and timely passing attack was the winning recipe for the Cardinal last November. Stanford tallied 254 rushing yards (Gerhart accounted for 223 of those) on 52 attempts, while thenfreshman quarterback Andrew Luck completed just 12 passes that went for 251 yards and two scores. Eight of those receptions were split between wide receivers Chris Owusu (four for 111 yards) and Ryan Whalen (four for 72 yards), who both returned this season.

NEWS d_2x7p_1 PAC-10 ROUNDUP Huskies ready to take on No. 18 Trojans Andy Drukarev sports reporter Washington at No. 18 USC (5:00 p.m. Saturday) While this battle between two teams led by former Pete Carroll assistants (Lane Kiffin of USC, Steve Sarkisian of Washington) looks like a mismatch on paper, the final score might be closer than you think. Until last week’s 50-16 drubbing of awful Washington State, the Trojans had yet to establish a rhythm, narrowly edging a trio of subpar nonconference opponents. While USC’s offense is strong both on the ground (21st nationally in rushing) and in the air (38th nationally in passing), the Trojan defense lacks depth and is susceptible to the big play, as exhibited by Hawaii’s 36 points in the season opener. That defense is especially vulnerable to a true dualthreat quarterback like the Huskies’ Jake Locker. Although Locker has struggled in the early going, completing only 51.1% of his passes, he’s still projected to be a first-round NFL draft pick this spring and has plenty of talent. With playmaking receivers in Jermaine Kearse and Devin Aguilar, and star running back Chris Polk, the Husky offense certainly has the potential to have a big game. But even if Locker plays up to his potential, it’s unlikely the Washington defense would slow down the Trojan offense. In its last game, Washington surrendered 56 points to a Nebraska team that only mustered 17 against South Dakota State. How will the Huskies fare against a high-octane attack like the Trojans possess? Key Stat: Washington’s 1613 defeat of the Trojans last year marked the first Husky win over USC since 2001. Washington State at UCLA (12:30 p.m. Saturday) UCLA returns home to take on Washington State, riding a wave of momentum from last weekend’s shocking upset of then-No. 7 Texas. The Bruins (2-2, 0-1) overwhelmed the Longhorns with a powerful running game (UCLA had 264 yards on the ground) and stout offense and will look to do the same against the woeful Cougars (1-3, 0-1). After a respectable showing against SMU two weeks ago, Washington State was horrid in a 50-16 blowout loss to USC. The defense allowed 613 yards of total offense and Cougar quarterback Jeff Tuel threw three interceptions. It will be a challenge for Washington State’s offense to take a step forward against a stacked UCLA defense that limited Texas to only 349 yards of total offense and forced five turnovers. The Cougars’ best chance to pull the road upset is a lowscoring, sloppy affair. UCLA’s offense has been known to be dormant at times, including in a 35-0 loss at home to Stanford a few weeks ago, and Tuel may possibly find a few openings in the Bruin secondary. Key Stat: Washington State hasn’t won a Pac-10 conference game since Nov. 22, 2008 when the Cougars edged rival Washington 16-13 in overtime. Arizona State at Oregon State (3:30 p.m. Saturday) Finally done with one of the most difficult non-conference schedules in the nation, Oregon State returns home from a loss at Boise State to take on a better-than-expected Arizona State squad. The biggest reason for the Sun Devils’ apparent improvement from last year’s disappointing 4-8 campaign is the addition of Michigan transfer Steven Threet into the starting lineup. Threet, who beat out Brock Osweiler and Samson Szakacsy in fall camp, has helped the Arizona State passing attack reach No. 5 in the nation. The Devils (2-2, 0-1) BE HEARD. had strong showings against two top-25 teams, losing 4231 to No. 4 Oregon and narrowly missing a road upset of No. 11 Wisconsin. Oregon State enters Saturday’s tilt on weak footing. Although the Beavers had respectable performances in their three non-conference games (a close win against Louisville and narrow losses to national powers TCU and Boise State), new quarterback Ryan Katz is unproven, and the defense has yet to find its rhythm. Of more immediate concern is the status of star wide receiver James Rodgers, who was knocked out of last Saturday’s game against Boise with a concussion. Then again, Oregon State historically is a much better team the second half of the season than the first, and maybe a Pac-10 game against a beatable opponent is just what the Beavers need to begin their traditional ascent up the conference standings. Key Stat: Through three games, Oregon State quarterback Ryan Katz is only completing 46.8% of his passes, a big drop-off from former Beaver quarterback Sean Canfield’s 67.9% last season. adrukarev @ dailyemerald . com Write a letter to the editor [email protected] the book arts and professional practices for artists series Fall 2010 Journal in Words and Images CRN 16908; 1 credit; $320; Saturdays, 10/2 and 10/9 Hardback Books Preparing to Hang Art CRN 17445; 1 credit; $305; Fridays, 10/8 and 10/15 Exhibit Construction CRN 16905; 1 credit; $320; Saturday, 10/9 Weekend Letterpress CRN 16906; 1 credit; $320; Saturday, 11/6 and Sunday, 11/7 CRN 17442; 1 credit; $315; Friday, 10/22 and Saturday, 10/23 Hanging Practices for Art CRN 17447; 1 credit; $305; Fridays, 11/5 and 11/12 Evening and weekend workshops.

It’s going to take a lot of oomph to stop that charge.” Few BCS-conference teams base their defenses in a 3-4 scheme, and Cal is the only other Pac-10 school to do so.

Are you liking the dorms? JH: Yeah, real nice. ODE: What about the food? JH: No, only breakfast has been schooled in how to handle the multifaceted attack. “From a tackle standpoint, you’re always looking at the defensive end because he’s usually right on top of you,” Asper said. “You can pace your decisions off of that. If he widens, he’s probably coming outside. If he tightens in, he’s probably coming inside. Also, you’re looking at the linebacker that’s stacked over him. If he widens, he’s probably coming outside. If he tightens in, he’s probably coming inside. You can play off the two of them. Somebody has to control the outside, this season. Matthews still vividly remembers last years trip to Palo Alto and the imposing Stanford blocking scheme. “It was one of the more physical games I’ve ever played in,” Matthews said. “It was just a bad feeling, but fortunately we recovered and won the rest.” Stanford hopes to repeat its success from a year ago, but hasn’t faced an opposing is good. ODE: What do you like to do in your free time? JH: Before school started, I’d probably go home and go hang out with my teammates, we play the (video) games, have tournaments with the games. ODE: What kind of video games do you play? JH: Just Madden 11 and NCAA (Football) 11. ODE: Who’s your favorite team to play with on Madden? JH: Houston. ODE: What classes are you taking?

Huff is the only true freshman to receive significant playing time this year. and somebody has to control the inside. If they both go outside, somebody’s got to come back in. “Coach Kelly always says, ‘Anticipate the hard, react to the easy.’ The hard would be the linebacker running downhill fast, so you anticipate that. If he doesn’t, then just lock onto the end.” Stanford, of course, must stop a rushing attack that ranks fourth in the nation on its home turf. The offensive linemen don’t intend to give the Cardinal anything easy. go ducks! With a 2010 freshman class including the likes of Lache Seastrunk, Dontae Williams, Curtis White and Ricky Heimuli, few would have expected wide receiver Josh Huff to be first-year player earning the most snaps four weeks into the season. Yet the 5-foot-11inch freshman has made a difference for the Ducks with his game-breaking speed and nose for the ball. Huff came up with one of the mot spectacular plays in last week’s contest against Arizona State, hauling in a 54-yard touchdown pass from Darron Thomas in the third quarter to give Oregon an 11-point lead. Showing off his versatility, he also rushed for a touchdown against Portland State. The Emerald caught up with Huff after practice Wednesday to see how he is adjusting to life as an Oregon student-athlete.

Beyond individual performances, the most impressive element of the zone-read to the untrained observer is the ease at which the Ducks pull off misdirection. “We depend on deception in our offense,” running backs coach Gary Campbell said. “We run a lot of zone stuff and we run some options.” Oregon practices zoneread fakes regularly during fall camp and occasionally devotes extra time during the season. Each quarterback works with each running back to develop a sense of timing and feel. The goal: a believable and technically sound ball fake, every time. “The coaches have pounded that idea into our heads so much that it’s like, now, it becomes second nature to us,” running back Remene Alston said. “We still need to get better at our fakes, but it seems to work against defenses. They pound it in our heads every day: ‘Good fakes! Good fakes! Good fakes!’” Repetition is valuable to the quarterbacks because, as starter Darron Thomas said, “each running back is a little bit different.” “You’ve got to get the feel of each running back,” said Thomas, who has tucked the ball and gained 102 yards on 19 carries this season. “Kenjon (Barner) and LaMichael are about the same, though. They’re about the same height.” Quarterbacks treat each zone-read play the same, regardless of the ultimate decision that is based on the read of the opposing defensive tackle. Their arms are fully extended — bent elbows give the fake away — and their eyes are always focused on the clean exchange. Following through is critical — the longer the ball remains in the “pocket” created by the running back’s arms and chest, the longer the defense reacts to the handoff, allowing a quarterback to spring the trap. “Make it look the same as if you were running a run play,” quarterback Nate Costa said. “A lot of guys rush it because they don’t trust it. You’ve got to trust the fake.” Running backs are encouraged to “be actors” according to Campbell. (The ultimate decision to execute a fake, after all, rests with the quarterback.) They will come from the quarterback’s immediate right and left sides, behind him from both directions or in front from both directions. The opposite arm (right arm from the left side, and vice versa) is raised up to create the pocket that the quarterback places the ball into. “They have to hold it tight enough that if the quarterback lets it go, they can hold on to it, and if he wants to pull it out they can release it,” Campbell said. “It’s body language. They’ve got to be moving at the speed they’d be moving if they had the ball.” Running the play at full speed is the most important facet, according to offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich. “You’re running as hard as you are with the ball as without the ball,” he said. “(Masoli) ran as hard as he did without the ball as if he had the ball. If you were doing that when the tailback has the ball — if the tailback’s doing that when you have the ball — that’s deceiving.” Masoli was featured in a segment for ESPN’s College GameDay show on Oct. 30, 2009, that exhibited his ability to execute ball fakes like a magician performs simple card tricks. The program returns to Eugene this week as the No. 9 Stanford Cardinal attempts to resist the sleight of hand of the No. 4 Ducks, who are fourth in the country with 316.8 rushing yards per game. Thomas will get no such treatment. Kelly did, however, offer praise when asked about Thomas’ performance within the zone-read option game after Oregon’s home victory against Portland State. “I think he’s been outstanding,” Kelly said.
