Oregon's Quarterback Career Ends

In the third quarter of play, Oregon QB Kellen Clemens was sacked resulting in a broken left fibula. Clemens, who was finally starting to get the attention he deserved, was easily on track to become the schools all-time leading passer and total offensive leader before the injury at Arizona Stadium on Saturday. "I thought the marriage of the new offense with Kellen Clemens was something that was sort of made in heaven," Bellotti said. Offensive coordinator Gary Crowton is now looking to sophomores Dennis Dixon and Brady Leaf to split the remainder of the season at quarterback.

"The two quarterbacks have complementary skills: Dixon is a fast runner better suited to the spread-option offense, Leaf a pocket passer who has a little better grasp of the offense."
