Cardinal good for what ailed No. 19 Ducks
The Associated Press — Nov 3rd, 2002
EUGENE, Ore. -- Jason Fife threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score Saturday as the No. 19 Ducks bounced back from two straight defeats with a 41-14 win over Stanford.
The Ducks, coming off home losses to Arizona State and Southern California, beat Stanford for just the second time in six tries at Autzen Stadium.
They won without starting tailback Onterrio Smith, sidelined with a minor knee injury that is not expected to keep him out of action next week against Washington State.
Terrence Whitehead ran for 132 yards on 29 carries in place of Smith, who entered the day as the leading rusher in the Pac-10.
AT OREGON ST. 38, ARIZONA 3 -- Steven Jackson ran for 134 yards and two touchdowns for Oregon State. It was the fifth straight loss for the Wildcats (3-6, 0-5), who are the Pacific-10 Conference's lone winless team. Arizona had minus-23 yards rushing and 93 yards overall.
