	Sunday, September 3 Quack attack has Rose Bowl dreams
	By Ed Graney Special to ESPN.com Season notes: 1999 record: 9-3, 6-2. Coach: Mike Bellotti. Starters returning:9 (5 offense, 4 defense). Outlook: There are more questions here than on any contending roster, but Bellotti always seems to position the Ducks for a high finish. The obvious answer this time might be handing the ball to transfer Maurice Morris early and often. He was the nation's best JUCO running back a season ago and two-time All-American while setting career records for yards (3,708), carries (593) and all-purpose yards (4,487). There is precedent here -- Saladin McCullough and Reuben Droughns also had successful careers at Oregon after arriving from junior college. And who did Oregon beat for Morris? USC. The quarterback duel between junior Joey Harrington and senior A.J. Feeley could last into the season, but whoever wins it will be throwing to an unproven group of receivers. The offensive line is without a senior and no depth after the first string. It is a defense that feasts off creating opportunity, having totaled 31 takeaways last year. There is some question about Oregon's strength up front, although end Saul Patu has all-conference ability. So too does senior linebacker Matt Smith (6-4, 250). "We've done a pretty good job of overachieving in the minds of others," Bellotti said. "Hopefully, we can do it again." Keep an eye on: Feeley. He enters camp No. 2 based on how well Harrington played at the end of last season, but improved in the offseason and took advantage of honing his skills as a counselor at the prestigious Elite 11 camp. Feeley, you might remember, ranked in the top 10 nationally in pass efficiency after eight games last year. It's a good season if: Oregon puts a scare into the top few teams and goes to its sixth bowl in seven years. The Ducks begin play riding a six-game win streak and a 14-game home winning streak. Its last three games are at Washington State, against Cal and at Oregon State. It's not out of the question that when January arrives, Bellotti's team is last year's Stanford.
