Tyler Shough passed for four touchdowns in his Louisville debut, freshman Isaac Brown added a 77-yard scoring run and the Cardinals scored on six of their first seven possessions to overwhelm Austin Peay 62-0 in Saturday's season opener for both teams. L ouisville flexed its muscle right away against the FCS Governors and never let up in the inaugural meeting between schools that each won at least nine games and reached the postseason last year. The Cardinals gained 56 yards on their first three plays al one, though that game-opening drive stalled near the red zone and they had to settle for Brock Travelstead's 30-yard field goal.They added seven offensive touchdowns from there, with Shough's arm leading the way toward a 38-0 halftime lead. The Te xas Tech transfer completed 18 of 24 passes for 232 yards in just two quarters, while his TD total tied Browning Nagle for the best starting debut by a Louisville QB. Jadon Thompson pulled in two of those scores for 33 and 5 yards, the second score comin g just two plays after T.J. Capers' 29-yard interception return to the Austin Peay 13. Ja'Corey Brooks and tight end Mark Redman caught scoring passes of 9 and 21 yards, while Keyjuan Brown rushed for a 4-yard score as Louisville outgained APSU 321-82 at the break. - AP College Football

Oregon will face its former starting quarterback in 2023. Tyler Shough, who started for UO in 2020 and has spent the past two seasons at Texas Tech, announced he'll be returning to the Red Raiders for his senior season. Texas Tech hosts Oregon on Sept. 9 . "Based on where I feel like I can go in the draft next year and also because I love this team so much and a lot of guys coming back, including coach (Joey) McGuire, coach (Zach) Kittley," Shough said of his reason for returning for a sixth year of coll ege football. "I have such a great relationship with them and all the guys on staff to where it's just like, why would I want to leave when I feel like we're building that momentum where I really want to be a part of something special, especially with su ch a great team and a close-knit unit."Shough completed 59.9% of his passes for 1,304 yards with seven touchdowns and four interceptions and ran for 269 yards and four scores in seven games this season, missing six weeks with a left shoulder injur y. He led Texas Tech to a 42-25 win against Mississippi in the Texas Bowl on Wednesday night and was named the game's MVP. - The Oregonian

Tyler Shough threw for 242 yards and a touchdown and ran for two more scores as Texas Tech took advantage of three early turnovers to build a big lead and held on for a 42-25 win over Ole Miss in the Texas Bowl on Wednesday night. Shough, who finished wi th a career-high 111 yards rushing, accounted for three TDs in the first two quarters to help the Red Raiders (8-5) to a 26-7 halftime lead. Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart had 361 yards passing with two TD throws and a scoring run. But, he threw two of his three interceptions and lost a fumble in the first half to put the Rebels in a huge hole. The victory gives Texas Tech its first eight-win season since 2013 and caps a successful debut for first-year coach Joey McGuire, who was given a new six-year, $26.6 million contract earlier Wednesday.The loss continues a terrible stretch for Ole Miss (8-5), which dropped its final four games, and five of its last six, after opening the season 7-0. The Rebels played a sloppy game with five turnovers and eight penalties for 86 yards and had two defenders ejected for targeting. Ole Miss scored consecutive touchdowns to get within 35-25 with three minutes to go. But the Rebels attempted an onside kick after that, but Texas Tech's Loic Fouonji grabbed it a nd returned it 44 yards to push the lead to 42-25. The Rebels cut the lead to 26-13 on an 11-yard touchdown pass from Dart to Jordan Watkins with about nine minutes left in the third quarter. SaRodorick Thompson scored on a 1-yard run early in the fourth quarter, but Tech’s 2-point conversion run failed to leave the Red Raiders up 32-13. Dayton Wade fumbled on the next drive by Ole Miss to give Texas Tech the ball back, and the Red Raiders settled for a field goal to extend the lead to 35-13 with 9 1/ 2 minutes left. The Rebels finished with 197 yards rushing, led by freshman Quinshon Judkins, who had 91. Judkins finishes the season with 1,567 yards rushing, which is the second-most by a freshman in SEC history behind Hershel Walker, who had 1,616. - Texas Tech/AP College Football

Trey Wolff made a 35-yard field goal in overtime after a tying kick in the final seconds of regulation, and Texas Tech erased an 18-point deficit in a 51-48 win over Oklahoma on Saturday night. Dillon Gabriel threw for 449 yards and six touchdowns, but t he OU quarterback was knocked out for a play in OT after a hard hit from safety Reggie Pearson Jr. on a catch on a throwback play. The Sooners were unsettled on offense and had to settle for a 34-yard field goal try from Zach Schmit after Gabriel was sac ked. The kick was wide right. After Wolff's winner, Texas Tech fans stormed the field just as they did after an OT victory over Texas in September. The Red Raiders ended a 10-game losing streak against OU and beat the Sooners and Longhorns in the same se ason for the first time in coach Joey McGuire's first season.Texas Tech (7-5, 5-4 Big 12) secured a winning conference record for the first time since 2009. The Sooners (6-6, 3-6) couldn't hold a 24-6 second-quarter lead, finishing without a winni ng record in the regular season for the first time since 1998 in a disappointing debut for coach Brent Venables. Texas Tech's Tyler Shough threw for a career-high 436 yards with two scores, but he was intercepted by C.J. Coldon to set up Schmit's tiebrea king 43-yard field goal with four minutes remaining. Shough put the Red Raiders in position for the tie in the final seconds. Wolff's first kick was blocked by Josh Ellison, but Venables had called a timeout. Wolff made the 43-yarder on the second try. O klahoma's Marvin Mims Jr. had a career-high 162 yards receiving and two touchdowns, and Brayden Willis also had two TD grabs. Eric Gray rushed for 161 yards. Jerand Bradley also finished with a career best in receiving yards with 173 for Texas Tech, and he had a 44-yard tiebreaking TD catch in the fourth quarter, one of six lead changes in the second half or overtime. - Texas Tech/AP College Football

The Cyclones ran five plays from the 2-yard line or closer without scoring a touchdown.They finally broke through when Hunter Dekkers found Easton Dean open down the sideline for a 24-yard touchdow n.

Texas Tech quarterback Tyler Shough will miss significant time again after re-injuring his non-throwing shoulder in the season opener. Red Raiders coach Joey McGuire said Monday that he expects Shough to be out three to six weeks. The quarterback, in his second year starting at Tech after three seasons at Oregon, has an examination scheduled for Wednesday, and surgery is a possibility. "That's where it could prolong to six weeks if it is," first-year Tech coach McGuire said during his weekly news confer ence. Shough missed the final eight games last season after breaking his left collarbone during the fourth game.He started Saturday night and injured that same shoulder in the first half of Tech's season-opening 63-10 win over Murray State. McGuir e said this injury is "not exactly" where it was last year, but was still related to the collarbone. Shough didn't have surgery after getting hurt last season. Texas Tech's depth chart for Saturday's home game against No. 24 Houston lists Donovan Smith a s the starting quarterback, ahead of Behren Morton. Shough was listed as third on the chart. - AP College Football

The announcement Sunday came just less than two weeks before the Red Raiders play their season opener Sept. 3 against Murray State.

Tyler has a great football IQ and has really captured what we want this offense to loo k like with the type of responsibility we put on the quarterback." Shough completed 64 of 92 passes (69.6%) for 872 yards and six touchdowns in Texas Tech's four games last season before breaking a collarbone. He had started 11 games at Oregon before joi ning the Red Raiders. - AP College Football

New Texas Tech coach Joey McGuire has announced is targeting about two weeks out from the Sept. 3 opener against Murray State to name a starting quarterback. "You know, I want to get to two scrimmages," McGuire said. "We've had a good spring now. They're way ahead in the playbook. And so there's no excuses." Senior Tyler Shough, who won the job last season after transferring from Oregon only to get injured four games into the season, is competing with sophomore Donovan Smith and redshirt freshman Behren Morton. Smith started Tech's final four games including the Liberty Bowl win over Mississippi State. - Dallas Morning News

Texas Tech announced the largest investment into its football program to date on Monday as the athletics department unveiled plans for an approximately $200 million facilities project. The school plans to construct a new, four-story south end zone buildi ng in Jones AT&T Stadium, connecting via skybridge to the Sports Performance Center and the newly planned Womble Football Center. The project will be largely funded through private fundraising and annual athletics department revenue streams, the school s aid.Pending approval from the Texas Tech University System Board of Regents, the project is slated for groundbreaking immediately following the 2022 football season, with plans to open prior to the 2024 season. "This is an historic day as we annou nce our intentions to construct what will be the premier football facility in the Big 12 Conference and nationally," Texas Tech director of athletics Kirby Hocutt said. "This facility, when completed, will not take a backseat to any other school in the c ountry. We have received tremendous interest from many of our supporters regarding this project and anticipate that continuing as we get closer to officially breaking ground. "Our intent is to be the top athletics department in the country. As we look in to the long-term future of college athletics, this project will set the stage for what we anticipate as decades of success on the gridiron for our Red Raiders." - Dallas Morning News

Shough's first season in Lubbock was lackluster. The junior threw for six touchdowns and three interceptions before breaking his collarbone four games into the year. The arm talent is obvious, but the decision making was questionable at best during his s hort season. That pattern repeated itself in Texas Tech's spring game, where Shough through an all too familiar pick-six while projecting a throw to the sidelines. Shough needs to be better, and he can be. All eyes should be on No. 12 to be QB1 heading i nto August. - Dallas Morning News

The identity of Tech's starting quarterback for the Liberty Bowl is an unanswered question. Tech quarterback Tyler Shough is not yet medically cleared to return from the broken collarbone he suffered Sept. 25 at Texas, running backs coach DeAndre Smith s aid Thursday. "We're still working through that," Smith said. "What you try to use bowl practices for is to evaluate the guys as you go. So we're going to evaluate them all through bowl prep, and then we'll make a decision later on down the road." Shough started Tech's first four games of the season, Henry Colombi the next five and Donovan Smith the past three. - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

Texas Tech quarterback Tyler Shough threw for 399 yards and four touchdown passes to spark a 54-21 victory against Florida International on Saturday at Jones AT&T Stadium. The Red Raiders shook loose from a tight game after the first quarter with four to uchdowns in the second period and racked up 264 yards along the way. They finished the night with 584 total yards. In the best offensive night this year for Texas Tech (3-0), Shough was an effective catalyst. He spread the ball around to 11 receivers and twice completed eight passes in a row, going 26 of 35.In the first two games, the Red Raiders ran only 102 plays and star receiver Erik Ezukanma had 17 of the team's 27 receptions. He faced double-teams most of the night and Shough adjusted. "We got to spread the wealth a little more and you saw guys making plays," Texas Tech coach Matt Wells said. Added Shough, "It was just part of the progressions. Guys were getting open and I got them the ball." The Red Raiders needed that spark after falling behind 7-0 in the first quarter. The Panthers (1-2) blended inside power runs by D'vonte Price and deep throws by Max Bortenschlager to piece together an 88-yard drive. Price bulled into the end zone with 6:27 to go in the opening quarter for a 7-0 lead . Meanwhile, Texas Tech's offense scuffled. The Red Raiders' first two possessions ended in punts, and when they forced FIU into a three-and-out, returner Adrian Frye muffed the ball to give it back to the Panthers. - Texas Tech/AP College Football

Texas Tech coach Matt Wells on Tuesday officially named Tyler Shough to be the Red Raiders' starting quarterback, confirming an outcome that had been expected for weeks. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound junior from Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton transferred to Tech in March from Oregon, where he started all seven games the Ducks played last season. He's been competing primarily with Henry Colombi, who started four games for the Red Raiders last season and was a 1,000-yard passer. The others in the conversation since training camp began have been redshirt freshman Donovan Smith from Frenship and true freshman Behren Morton from Eastland, the latter a consensus state top-50 signee.The Red Raiders also have two-time NJCAA passing leader Parker McNeil, who came t o Tech as a walk-on transfer from Troy, and former state top-100 recruit Maverick McIvor. "As I've said for several months now, this is the most talented our quarterback room has been since we arrived here at Texas Tech," Wells said in a statement Tech r eleased. "After evaluating the entire body of work, we feel as a staff that Tyler gives this team the best chance to win. He is well-respected by his teammates, a tireless worker and has developed a strong understanding of what we want to do as an offens e. "Tyler's arrival has only increased the competitiveness of our quarterback room as Henry Colombi has put together possibly the best camp of his career. Our staff has confidence in Henry's ability to lead this offense, and I know he will continue to pr epare with the same mindset. Donovan and Behren both have bright futures here at Texas Tech, and they will continue to battle for backup reps." - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

It may seem daring to claim that someone who's been slotted as a top pick in the 2022 NFL draft will be better than advertised. But even with all the buzz that Shough has created, he's been met with cautious optimism from Red Raider fans. The quarterback position at Texas Tech has been a lackluster revolving door since the Patrick Mahomes Era. But after a handful of grim seasons in Lubbock, Shough appears to have the tools to take the program's offense back to something that resembles its glory days. He looks the part of an NFL quarterback, standing at 6-5 and weighing in at 220 pounds. He threw for 1,559 yards, 13 touchdowns and six interceptions last season - numbers that display the talent of his arm, and also the room for improvement in areas like decision making. His legs are serviceable, something new offensive coordinator Sonny Cumbie will likely utilize. Behind an experienced offensive line and with reliable targets at receiver, Shough should have a much-improved campaign this season. Ex pect Texas Tech to have their first 3,000+ passing yard QB for the first time in Matt Wells' tenure. - Dallas Morning News

After producing a two-decade low in points per game, Tech replaced offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach David Yost with former Red Raiders quarterback and assistant coach Sonny Cumbie, back after seven years at TCU. Yost and quarterback Alan Bowm an, the latter now transferred to Michigan, couldn't move the chains consistently enough. Now the Red Raiders will see if the Cumbie-Shough combo clicks. Standing 6-foot-5 with a strong arm and good mobility, Shough has the tools to make NFL scouts pay c lose attention. He needs to be more consistent. At least he arrived at Tech in time to take part in 13 of 15 spring practices. "He's a football junkie," Wells said. "He's a really good leader and fit in well with our players almost immediately." In two y ears at Troy, Geiger averaged 70 catches for 812 yards and four touchdowns. The Fort Worth Paschal graduate went to Troy after spending two years at Navarro College, where he caught 70 balls for 954 yards as a sophomore. - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

As soon as Tyler Shough's name hit the NCAA transfer portal, the suitors lined up for the Oregon quarterback. In a process where things like personal relationships and geography play big roles, Shough choose Texas Tech as his next landing spot. He had me t coach Matt Wells - once - at a high school recruiting camp when Wells was still at Utah State. That's about it. "I did my own research on the coaching staff here and the guys," Shough said recently, "but I didn't really have any connection." The bigger question is about the connection that Shough has developed, with Tech's spring scrimmage set for Saturday in Lubbock and the quarterback competition still in progress.In a crowded quarterback room, Shough and Henry Colombi, who started four games last season, bring the most experience. Like so many coaches, Wells is not handicapping the race outside of what he wants in a quarterback. Wells says he values their leadership and accuracy, while holding greater regard for accuracy over arm strength. The decision is likely to come in preseason camp and has major ramifications for the program. Tech hasn't had a winning football season since 2015 and hasn't been .500 or better in the Big 12 since 2009, Mike Leach's final season in Lubbock. - Dallas Mor ning News

Covering more than 1,200 miles, all on the road from Oregon to Arizona, gives a man plenty of time to think. Time to hear recruiting pitches. Time to ask questions. Time to choose where to take the next turn on the road. All those hours are welcome if yo u're a high-profile player in college football's NCAA transfer portal. That's where Tyler Shough found himself in mid-February: in the portal, on the road, hearing his cell phone buzz. Something about Matt Wells and Sonny Cumbie, the research Shough had done on the Texas Tech coaches and the Red Raiders' roster, persuaded him more than anything else. "It was a long process," Shough said this past week."That was when I was driving back from Oregon to Arizona, a 21-hour car ride. I was pretty much on the phone that entire time. It really came down to...the opportunity to come in and compete, a coaching staff I had a good relationship with and a good supporting cast around me. "It obviously wasn't an easy decision, because there were a lot of schoo ls that had that offer (extended), but Texas Tech was the best opportunity and overall team that I wanted to be a part of and wanted to grow in. So I'm definitely happy with it and excited to get better." Shough, who started all seven games Oregon played last year during his sophomore season, joined his new team two weeks ago. The Red Raiders have had nine of the allotted 15 sessions of spring practice, Shough having arrived in time to take part in the past seven. The 6-foot-5, 220-pound junior finished degree requirements at Oregon in March. - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

Texas Tech announced Monday that former Oregon quarterback Tyler Shough has arrived on campus and will be in uniform with the Red Raiders when they resume spring practice on Tuesday. Shough announced on Feb. 12 that he was having his name put into the NC AA transfer portal and committed to Tech on Feb. 22, but still had to earn a degree at Oregon to leave as a graduate transfer. He completed coursework this month with dual undergraduate degrees in criminal justice and political science, Tech's announceme nt said. Tech had its first two spring workouts last week and has 13 of the allotted 15 remaining. When former Tech starter Alan Bowman departed as a transfer, it left the Red Raiders with four-game starter Henry Colombi and a cast of talented but inexpe rienced candidates at quarterback.Shough, a nationally sought recruit three years ago, started all seven games Oregon played last season. "We're excited to add a quarterback with Tyler's ability and experience to our quarterback room," Red Raiders coach Matt Wells said in Tech's announcement. "I'm looking forward to watching all of our quarterbacks compete this spring under coach (Sonny) Cumbie, and Tyler will only help in making that position better." - Lubbock Avalanche Journal

A crowded but largely unproven Texas Tech quarterback room just gained a transfer with starting experience. Tyler Shough, who started all seven games for Pac-12 champion Oregon last season and led the Pac-12 in passer rating, announced Monday on social m edia that he's transferring to Tech. He had been viewed as the top quarterback in the transfer portal after announcing his decision to exit Oregon earlier this month. Shough has three remaining seasons of eligibility, rare for a grad transfer. Blessed wi th good size (6-5, 221 pounds), Shough was ranked as the No. 1 prospect in Arizona in the Class of 2018. He redshirted as a freshman, backed up future NFL first-round pick Justin Herbert in 2019 and won the starting job last season. Shough completed 63.5 % of his passes for 1,559 yards. He had 13 touchdown passes and six interceptions and also ran for 271 yards and two touchdowns. But Oregon also used Anthony Brown at quarterback late in the season, and Shough sat for a long stretch in the Fiesta Bowl lo ss to Iowa State. - Dallas Morning News

Is Tyler Shough still Oregon's starting quarterback? Coach Mario Cristobal didn't waste a lot of time with the question, which was posed during his Zoom meeting with the media on Monday. "We assess everyone on a weekly basis," Cristobal said. "but he's o ur starting quarterback." Of course he is. In Shough's first five career starts, he has completed 91-of-143 passes (63.6%) for a Pac-12-leading 1,389 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 6-foot-5, 221-pound redshirt sophomore also has rushed for 256 yards and tw o touchdowns.But some costly mistakes in consecutive defeats at Oregon State (two interceptions) and California (lost fumble) have some critics wondering what Boston College transfer Anthony Brown or touted true freshman Jay Butterfield might look like taking the snaps. Shough and his teammates aren't flinching as the Ducks (3-2) prepare to host Washington Huskies on Saturday at Autzen Stadium (1 p.m., FOX) for the North Division title. "We're all behind (number) 12," senior tight end Hunter Kamp moyer said of Shough. "We all make mistakes through the course of the game. He's done a great job of being a leader, accepting those things and moving forward. There's nothing you can do about the last play, it's all about the next play. He's done a grea t job, and we've all been behind him 100 percent." - Register Guard

Running back Travis Dye of No. 11 Oregon recalled the bitter feeling after the Ducks lost at Washington State in 2018, and he didn't plan to experience it again Saturday night. Dye caught a pair of second-half touchdown passes and Oregon came back to bea t Washington State 43-29. "I remember every little detail of 2018," Dye said. "It stuck in my mind ever since we left that field." He called Saturday's win "a thirst quencher." Tyler Shough threw for 312 yards and four touchdowns for Oregon. The Ducks im proved to 2-0, piling up 582 yards of total offense.Freshman Jayden de Laura threw for 321 yards and two touchdowns for Washington State (1-1), which led at halftime but could not stop the Ducks in the second half. Freshman defensive back Ayden He ctor recovered three Oregon turnovers in the first half. "We're looking like a real great offense right now," Dye said. "We are moving and grooving way better than we have in the past." Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said the touchdown Oregon scored in the closing seconds of the second quarter was key. It cut Washington State's halftime lead from 12 to five points. "Certainly a huge momentum swing," he said. "Guys went into the locker room with a lot of juice, a lot of energy." Shough played well, especia lly in the second half, Cristobal said. "He made some great plays and some great decisions. Great job with protections, used this feet to get out of stuff," Cristobal said. "Just showing tremendous maturity in just a second start, so big days ahead for T yler." - AP College Football

Quarterback Tyler Shough was handed the keys to Joe Moorhead's new offensive system on Saturday after playing behind Justin Herbert for two seasons. After a slow start, the redshirt sophomore settled in and made several big plays. Shough completed 17-of- 26 passes for 227 yards and one touchdown. He also rushed for 85 yards with a 9-yard scoring run on 11 carries, which no doubt thrilled the fan base watching from home. A common criticism of the Oregon offense the last two seasons under former offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo was his failure to utilize Herbert as a runner. Shough's start was far from perfect, with an interception early in the second quarter. But he also completed long passes to Mycah Pittman (44 yards) and Johnny Johnson III (38 yard s) and threaded a pass between three defenders to Jaylon Redd for a nice gain. - Register Guard

Tyler Shough picked up where Justin Herbert left off, throwing for 227 yards and a touchdown and running for another score to lead No. 12 Oregon to a 35-14 victory over short-handed Stanford on Saturday night in the opener for both teams. Stanford was hu rt before game even kicked off when it was announced that starting quarterback Davis Mills was unavailable. Receiver Connor Wedington and defensive end Trey LaBounty were also listed as unavailable because of COVID-19 testing results and contact tracing protocols. Stanford did not specify whether the players had tested positive, but Wedington said on Twitter that he tested negative.Shough completed 17 of 26 passes with one interception, and ran for 85 yards, as he assumed the starter's role now t hat Herbert has moved on to the NFL. With Herbert at quarterback, Oregon went 12-2 last season and won the Rose Bowl over Wisconsin. CJ Verdell ran for 105 yards and a score for Oregon, which won its 11th straight game at Autzen Stadium, the seventh long est active streak in the nation. Mills started in six games for the Cardinal last season, throwing for 1,960 yards and 11 touchdowns. He was replaced by backup Jack West, who made his first start.

It's a very different look for Oregon compared to the past four years with Justin Herbert at the reins, but also not unexpected or something the Ducks weren't prepared to face. "It certainly is different," Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said. "We've been a ccustomed to seeing No. 10 take every snap under center for a good chunk of time now. You've seen bits and pieces of practice, probably more drill work than anything else, but something that I've said from the beginning since Justin's departed is that Ty ler Shough has done a great job, he really has. When he's had his opportunities in there in practice and in spring ball, he got off to a great, great start."He has a natural field presence. He has a commanding presence out there. In the short amou nt of time that Anthony Brown has been here, he also is an extremely talented guy that really is hungry and driven, just like Tyler. He's done some great things, has a really good career out there at Boston College. Then you got three young guys." Shough , who went 12 for 15 for 144 yards with three touchdowns in limited reps last season, will enter preseason camp atop the depth chart while Brown, who started 28 games during his time at Boston College and completed 55% of his passes for 4,738 yards with 40 touchdowns and 20 interceptions, will be with the second-team. "We'll enter Day 1 with Tyler taking the first reps and with Anthony taking the reps with the twos," Cristobal said. "We're going to make it a competition, but it's going to start off like that." - The Oregonian

Oregon's starting QB job was largely seen as Tyler Shough's to lose - and perhaps it still is. Shough, the backup to Justin Herbert last season, has been the presumptive favorite to take over the role in 2020. But Wednesday's commitment of graduate trans fer Anthony Brown at least creates significant competition prior to the season, whenever it begins. Oregon coach Mario Cristobal, who in December said there was there was going to be an "open competition" this offseason, said Shough did well in the Ducks ' four spring practices and is the starter as of today. "We think Tyler Shough did an outstanding job in the spring," Cristobal said during a conference call Friday. "He entered the spring as the starter; he leaves the spring as the starter. "We can't co mment on any players that are not currently enrolled.Like every single position on that field we're always going to present competition because it helps our players get better. But I can't emphasize enough how fired up we are about Tyler." Shough went 12 for 15 for 144 yards with three touchdowns and had two carries for 11 yards this season. He worked extensively with the first-team offense during spring practice while walk-on Bradley Yaffe and redshirt-freshman Cale Millen took most of the secon d-team reps and true freshman Jay Butterfield work with the third-team offense and rotated some with the second-team. - The Oregonian

The Ducks, coming off a 12-2 finish with a Pac-12 championship and final ranking of No. 5 in the Associated Press poll, begin spring practice on Thursday with an eye on the 2020 season. "Regardless of how good or bad you've done the previous year, you al ways want to improve," Cristobal noted at a signing day news conference last month. A look at five storylines to follow leading in to the April 18 spring game: Justin Herbert's eventful four-season stint as Oregon's starting quarterback spanned three hea d coaches, a 4-8 finish and his memorable touchdown runs for the Rose Bowl trophy.Four candidates will compete to replace the NFL-bound Herbert, who finished his collegiate career with 10,541 yards passing, 95 touchdowns and 23 interceptions. Reds hirt sophomore Tyler Shough is the favorite after serving as Herbert's backup in 2019. "It's obviously been great to learn from him and all these coaches and my teammates," Shough said leading into the Ducks' 28-27 win over Wisconsin in the Rose Bowl. "I just prepare myself for each game. That's been my goal is just to stay ready and get better." - Register Guard
