Football notes: High praise for Dont'e Thornton and the WRs, Bo Nix's unique perspective on Dan Lanning and more

Ty Thompson had some great perspective on Oregon's WRs, especially noting the growth he's seen in Dont'e Thornton, and how quickly transfer Chase Cota has picked up the offense.

Kenny Dillingham said Oregon will have the ability to go under center in short-yardage situations.

And Bo Nix talked about his experience going against Dan Lanning's Georgia defenses.

Ducks vs UCLA series (baseball)

Ducks lost a pitchers duel last night. Oregon could never really get the bats going, losing 3-2. The good news, pitcher RJ Gordon (true sophomore) is looking better as the starter went into the 6th before giving up a run. If the ducks can start to get some pitching going they would have a great shot at Omaha. Ducks will look to even the series tonight in LA

Softball swept by the Bruins....

They lost all three in So. Cal. as the Bruins pitching staff was just too much for the lady Ducks. The Bruins were the team that got the clutch hits during the series and hit I believe 4 or 5 dingers over the series.
The Ducks are a solid team but not quite elite at this point, the bats went quite silent against their deep and talented group of hurlers!
Here's to continued improvement!
