Starting from a Position of Strength

Last year the starting qb, coming off a dismal performance, lost his eligibility. This year's starter, coming off a strong performance, leads in the weight room and winter workouts.

Rob Moseley did a radio interview with the PB&J show previewing spring practice.  Moseley also has a spring practice preview story on the Register-Guard website:

Significant hurdles must be overcome for Oregon to continue its recent dominance in conference play. The Ducks lost three senior starters on the offensive line, three more on the defensive line, and two each at linebacker and receiver. Among the losses were some of the most experienced leaders and familiar faces on the two-time Pac-10 championship teams, such as receiver Jeff Maehl, linebacker Casey Matthews and underrated cornerback Talmadge Jackson III.



The Ducks will at least return stability at the top, beginning with Kelly and his assistants, after receivers coach Scott Frost spurned overtures from Nebraska to keep Oregon’s coaching staff intact for a third straight season, enviable cohesion. A predictable handful of players left the team for various reasons since the BCS National Championship game on Jan. 10, but none who were expected to make the two-deep come fall.
