Moseley also reviews the special teams, post-spring practice.  With Beard, Rice, and a fleet of talented returners, it's hard to imagine a team being more set in the special teams.  Oregon's depth and athleticism shines in the return and kick units, and special teams coach Tom Osborne does a marvelous, meticulous job with them.

How many touchdowns will Huff, Barner, Harris and the rest produce in the return game this year, and how much plus-field position?  It is a huge weapon, and an incredible emotional lift for a team to get a big play in special teams.  The Ducks will get a lot of them, increasing the effectiveness of both the offense and defense.  Scheme all you want, but speed kills.
