Spring Game Type: 1st Team (Green) vs. 2nd Team (White)Final Score: Green 16, White 0
Oregon reached the property limits of the promise land last season, only to find a sign that said “No Ducks Allowed”. With only three months to recover from that disappointing ending, many expected Oregon to come out a little sluggish this spring. This was hardly the case.
Offense:
LeMichael James didn’t miss a beat from last year’s astonishing season. While he only carried the ball three times, on his final carry, he broke off a 67-yard touchdown run, reminding the world why Oregon is once again a National Championship contender.
While Darron Thomas didn’t put up spectacular numbers, he managed the game properly and came out with his first spring game win in three tries.
Grade: B+
Defense:
The first team defense pitched a shut-out for the Green squad, collecting two sacks, nine tackles for a loss, a fumble recovery, and an interception.
Sophomore defensive tackle Wade Keliikipi made the biggest splash in Oregon’s spring game, rattling off six tackles, two sacks, one TFL, and a broken up pass.
Grade: A-
