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.
