WEEK 3 TEAM REPORT




QB JEFF TUELL OUT 6 WEEKS!!

After a week long of practice, SR M. Lobbestael will start this week against #12 Oregon, however rumors are that it was a close battle with RS FR C. Halliday and if Lobbestael struggles we could see the Freshman.

KARTSETTER AND BARTON PAC-10 POW'S.
(POW=Player of the Week)

In Week 1 we saw JR WR I Barton catch 14 balls for 378 yds and 5 TD's breaking school records in single game yds and TD receptions. Barton was named the NCAA POW as well as the Pac-10 POW

In Week 2 it was SR WR J. Kartsetter who was making noise around the Pac-10 with 10 rec for 246 yds and 2 TD's.

COACH DODGE ANNOUNCES PLAYBOOK CHANGES

With the ground game struggling to produce yards, Coach Dodge has decided to switch up the offensive attack looking to get 5 WR sets on the field more often and give his QB time to find open WR's, the Cougars are switching up from their Spread/Pro style Offense to a Air-Raid Offense. Expect to see a jump in pass attempts (50-60)..

WEEK 3



(1-1) VS #12 (1-1)

GAME PREVIEW

After a disappointing loss to Kansas State in Week 1, the Oregon Ducks showed they can still score points as they crush BYU 45-29 in Week 2.

On a roster note. Orginally QB D. Thomas had declared his intentions to go pro, however after all the other underclassman QB's declared including Ohio State's T. Pryor, Thomas decided it was best to return to Euguene and hopes of conviencing NFL scouts that he can play QB at the next level.

GAME RECAP

Oregon dominated on both sides of the ball, scoring 31 points in the 1st half, off 4 turnovers (1 fumble and 3 INT's by Lobbestael). Lobbestael would throw 1 TD in the 2nd Q (20 yds J. Kartsetter) and D. Wagner would connect on a 21 yd FG but WSU would go into the locker room trailing 31-10.

Oregon would continue to put up points in the 3rd Quarter (2 TD runs by L. Seastrunk), but the Cougars Offense would show big play ability as RS FR QB C. Halliday took the field tossing 2 TD bombs!! (59 yds Kartsetter and 91 yds I. Barton) Score 45-24

WSU would cut the lead to just 2 scores as Halliday passes for his 3rd TD (4 yds to TE A. Dunn) with 7 minutes to play (45-31), but the Ducks "D" would answer the call picking off a endzone pass by Halliday and then force a fumble on a option pitch returning the ball 58 yds for the TD to seal the victory. Oregon would tack on a 41 yd FG just to rub it in.

FINAL SCORE WSU-31 OREGON-55

POST GAME INTERVIEW

Coach Dodge "Obviously I am happy with the stats we put up in the air with our new offense (using Texas Tech playbook), however are "D" continues to show they can get the stops when we need them. We let them complete 8/18 3rd Down conversions (44%) as well as 2/2 on 4th down. That's just not going to cut it.

After comparing both QB's I feel that our best gameplan is to move forward with Halliday at QB as we continue to run the Air Raid attack. Lobby will stay as our #2 and we will continue to work the ball into the hands of Kartsetter and Barton. Both did a amazing job of opening up the middle of the field for our TE's (Stormo and Dunn) and our #3 WR G. Simone. I was also happy to see Halliday working the ball to our #4,#5, and #6 WR's as well.

Rough start. Looks like Halliday's gonna be a good QB. Can't wait to see how the rest of the season plays out with you running the Air Raid offense.

Thanks. It does seem like it's going to be a roller coaster type season.
