Willie Taggart just started his weekly Monday press conference. Here are notes on what he had to say
- Herbert "will be out for a while"
- Apelu out for season with broken ankle
- Everyone else is "day-to-day"
- Alie and Burmeister are nearly identical to him "Other than age they can do what we need for them to do."
- Jelks and Mondeaux have been playing "at another level" recently
- Swain is a guy who is ready to step up in the absence of Hotchkins and Apelu
- The Autzen crowd played a role in re-energizing his guys after the raft of injuries against Cal "They were rocking and rolling, swag surfing, and that helped."
- Burmeister is steady... "never gets too high or too low."
- "Absolutely" a chance Herbert will return this season. Confirmed fractured collar bone.
