Oregon Register Guard: Avoiding Spring Breaks

Here’s the link.

Excerpt:

Kevin Riley continues to push Nate Longshore at quarterback, after unseating the veteran last fall. This spring, Longshore was redeeming himself until he pulled a pectoral muscle and missed the final three weeks of drills.  Cal coach Jeff Tedford said the job remains open entering the fall. The offense was without electric tailback Jahvid Best for contact drills because of a hip injury. But he impressed onlookers in non-contact drills and is reportedly on track to be 100 percent in August.

On defense, coordinator Bob Gregory moved to a 3-4 this spring, taking advantage of a deep linebacker corps led by Zack Follett and Worrell Williams. It’s a look uncommon to the Pac-10, though Oregon runs it enough that the UO offense should be prepared when the Ducks travel to Cal on Nov. 1.
