Autzen Stadium was shaking from the roar of more than 58,000 people packed in tight to see the season opener. It was Adams’ 27th consecutive game with multiple touchdown passes. Jones played tough despite his team’s devastating loss and King was hampered by head and ankle injuries in his first game of the year. Kupp’s block ends up taking two defenders out of the play because of those two factors, and Rodney Hardrick takes a poor angle and can’t get to the receiver in time.

“I think it’s a great weekend for all of us – for Michigan State, period”, said Izzo, who likes to sit with recruits in the student section during football games. “I was like, man this is insane, this is real life”.
“I was just making sure he was OK”, Baldwin said. This is why he came to Oregon. He is very aware of this special opportunity and has vowed to give his best effort. Adams Jr. may have more weapons at his disposal against Michigan State.
For starters, offensive coordinator Scott Frost was pleased with how the post-Marcus Mariota era began with Adams at the controls. If the Ducks get clicking, offensively, watch out. He won’t likely be racking up those sorts of sack numbers this week but getting the defense aligned properly will be key while he uses his speed to attempt to reign in Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams. Hoyer and Davis played for Dantonio at MSU but were recruited to MSU by John L. Smith, and Peko, Stanton and Vickerson all finished their MSU careers under Smith. “You saw flashes from all of them”.
It was a little bit harder to find as much info this week as it was to find it last week as there were a few players who had a week off. That happy note is nearly always a Royce Freeman run.
TBJ showed glimpses of his track speed with 2 touchdowns of his own.
365 yards passing, 18 yards rushing; 246 yards passing, 94 yards rushing – what do these statistics have in common?
After missing the season past year, the sight of Bralon Addison suiting up for the Ducks created countless ovations. “We had some first-time guys back there trying to peek on the backfield or peek on somebody that’s not their assignment or a fit that’s not their job”. Seems like poetic justice with the new Duck throwing to a seasoned veteran Duck. Aaron Burbridge had four receptions for 117 yards and three Spartan running backs combined for 190 yards rushing on 35 carries.
Three 2016 verbal commitments for a class now ranked in the top 10 will be on official visits – running back Abdul Adams (Durham, N.C.), receiver Cam Chambers (Sicklerville, N.J.) and linebacker Joe Bachie (Berea, Ohio) – and the most of the rest of the class has announced plans to attend. Coach Frost said that he expects Charles Nelson to terrorize opposing secondaries in the near future. If Eastern Washington can put up 42 points, I’m afraid of what MSU is going to do.
Allen looks to return as the speedster receiver but has not set a date for his full recovery from his torn ACL. With a birth in last year’s National Championship Game.

NCAA laws require he be suspended for half the following season, but the Ducks are appealing that rule.
