Defense prevails in Oregon Ducks’ second spring scrimmage

EUGENE — The protection obtained the higher of Oregon’s second spring scrimmage.

The Geese held their second scrimmage and eleventh general spring observe Saturday at what finally turned a cool, windy and moist Autzen Stadium.

After the prior two practices have been held indoors on the Moshofsky Middle it was a possibility to see how gamers handed the inclement situations.

“The situations have been clearly a little bit bit completely different,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning stated. “I assumed we had higher ball safety general from an offensive standpoint however I’d say the protection most likely had the day in the present day. That being stated, final scrimmage offense type of gained; so that you need to see that some as coaches. There was definitely some adversity on the market and we did some situational work identical to we did earlier than. However completely satisfied to see our guys go on the market and work and embrace the climate and get after it.”

As was the case with the primary spring scrimmage, which featured three dashing touchdowns, Saturday’s scrimmage was closed to outdoors observers. Nevertheless, there weren’t any dashing scores, per UO, because the offense relied on the passing recreation for its scores.

“I positively really feel like we responded the best way we needed to,” security Steve Stephens IV stated. “We watched the movie and we checked out (and) corrected what we did flawed so far as matches and lining up. We obtained again to it and did our factor in the present day.”

Lanning stated the offense did properly on third downs, however the protection was capable of get off the sector as properly, significantly in some pink zone and two-minute conditions.

Bo Nix obtained at the least a number of the first-team reps and Lanning stated the quarterback battle stays aggressive.

“We need to proceed to see that competitors exist,” he stated.

Subsequent week’s spring recreation will likely be “similar to a recreation format,” Lanning stated, and the Inexperienced and Yellow groups will likely be cut up up within the days forward.
