CS Long Beach Faces Oregon at Eugene

Cal State Long Beach’s football team, which lost to Oregon here last season, 49-0, will have a nonconference rematch with the Ducks at 1 p.m. today.

“We remembered what happened last year and hopefully that will be motivation enough,” said Long Beach Coach Larry Reisbig.

The 49ers, who lost to San Jose State last week, 21-10, are 3-5 overall and 1-3 in the Big West Conference. They have defeated only one Division I-A team, winless New Mexico State.

Oregon (4-3) is led by quarterback Bill Musgrave and tailback Derek Loville, neither of whom the 49ers could stop a year ago. In that game, Loville ran for 154 yards and Musgrave threw three touchdown passes.

Loville had a 203-yard game last week as the Ducks defeated Arizona State, 27-7.
