With four days to go before the Ducks open their 2017 football season in Eugene against Southern Utah, Co-OC Marcus Arroyo answered questions about his offense and their readiness.
On playing any quarterbacks other than Herbert
"We don’t have that in our plans right now. Our plan right now is Justin going out there and go win a football game."
On what he wants to see from his offense on Saturday
"The biggest thing with the youth we’ve got and the youthfulness in our program, is going out and seeing guys play fast. Execute. Have fun. The score will take care of itself. I am a firm believer in that. If we do things that we’ve been coached to do, the score will take care of itself.
"What wins games is time-tested and infallible; turnovers in critical situations. No mental errors; not beating ourselves. That’s the biggest thing."
On freshman WR Johnny Johnson winning the start
"He has executed really well for a young guy. He has matured every day. He has come out and made plays. He has played hard and he is excited. He is a perfect of example of the opportunities we have got. He is a young guy who we are excited about seeing go out there in his first game.
"We know there are going to be some nerves there. We’ve all been there."
