Duck Stuff: Morning Mud

Morning Mud

• Rob Moseley notes that although the Oregon OL is smaller than most it is rarely overmatched.

Oregon is thriving thanks to a group of intelligent, hard-working players who created just enough room this season for Darron Thomas, LaMichael James and company to lead the nation in scoring.

• Lavasier Tuinei is pain-free and ready to help his team anyway he can on Monday night.

• Rob Beard is glad that Jackson Rice is back to be the holder on place kicks. They have been working hard at getting their timing and rhythm fine-tuned.

• Nate Costa says that you shouldn't count him out of making an appearance in the title game.

• I like the way Cliff Harris answered questions yesterday during the media day and A.J. Jacobson has the transcript.

• Ted Miller notes that the Oregon offense is greater than the sum of its parts

• GoDucks.com reports on activities to participate in if you are in the Scottsdale area as well as online broadcasts.

• Rob Moseley provides links to all of the stories in the special BCS section of the Register Guard that was included in the paper yesterday. I am definitely saving my copy.

• Ken Goe has a nice story on the rapid and unconventional rise of Oregon head coach Chip Kelly.

• Kenjon Barner is Oregon's not-so-secret weapon and it will be nice to have him and LaMichael in the backfield.

• Oregon's 2011 schedule fell into place yesterday with the addition of a Missouri St. home game on Sept. 17th. Click here for the full schedule.

• Dale Newton lists his six keys for an Oregon victory. Solid analysis.

• Dom over at Addicted to Quack has posted a very personal story on how "Win the Day" became more than catchphrase to him. Excellent read, don't miss it.

GO DUCKS!
