  10/16/20 - Jordon Scott, Sr/2021, Oregon, 6-0, 311 (DS#20 DT) + More +

  Jordon Scott shed 14 pounds this offseason, more than any other returning Oregon player, and dropped a number from his jersey from 34 to 3. Fat Mac, as the 311-pound nose tackle goes by, is now more of a Big Mac and he's aspiring to be Fast Mac. "Losing weight definitely was a conscious decision," Scott said. "Talking to a lot of the scouts, they all say they want to see me pass rush and get up field more. I hope that'll help me this year." Scott's transformation was one of several among Ducks defensive tackles this summer. Four returning UO interior defenders lost a combined 46 pounds, not including freshman Jayson Jones dropping 40 pounds from his listed 350 as a recruit. "We shed some weight but if you look at our body (compositions), our body comps are considerably better than what they've been before," Oregon coach Mario Cristobal said. "We've added muscle mass, we've shed some fat, we move better, we're more explosive and we range anywhere from as light as the 278s to as heavy as the 325-330s. I feel like we're in really good shape there." - The Oregonian

  10/12/20 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  The Auburn Tigers, given a gift inadvertent whistle on a botched spike in the closing seconds, sent Anders Carlson out for a second try at a game-winning field goal Saturday. This time the junior did not miss. Carlson booted a 39-yard field goal with seven seconds remaining to give No. 13 Auburn a controversial 30-28 victory over the University of Arkansas on a rainy, muddy afternoon before a crowd of 17,490 at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Arkansas (1-2), which fought back from a 17-0 deficit to take a 28-27 lead in the fourth quarter, nearly pulled off its second road win over a ranked team in as many weeks.

The controversy over Auburn quarterback Bo Nix's muffed snap and spike in the game's final half-minute is certain to live long in the lore of the series between the SEC West rivals. On a third-down play from the Arkansas 19 with the clock dropping below 30 seconds, Nix fumbled the snap, grabbed the ball from the grass and clearly spiked it behind him. As the officials flagged Nix for intentional grounding and began blowing their whistles, Arkansas safety Joe Foucha pounced on the loose ball. After a lengthy replay review, referee Jason Autrey announced that it confirmed the call of intentional grounding, and the officials actually ran 10 seconds off the clock for the grounding flag to rub salt in the Hogs' wound. - Northwest Arkansas Times

  10/10/20 - *Kayvon Thibodeaux, rSo/2022, Oregon, 6-4, 256 (DS#3 DE) + More +

  Kayvon Thibodeaux was the best pass rusher in the Pac-12 by the end of last season and he enters this fall in the same place. Even in a short season, Thibodeaux should have every opportunity for ample production. The Pac-12 North lost a lot of very good offensive linemen, which sets up as a potential feeding frenzy for Thibodeaux. The depth behind him at defensive end is less certain. Mase Funa is the projected starter at Stud and Austin Faoliu at defensive tackle, though both could move to end as well. Bradyn Swinson spent the spring at defensive end and the freshman will clearly be in the mix for early playing time. The interior of the defensive line returns starters in Faoliu and Jordon Scott and though there are hits to the two-deep, Oregon actually is arguably in a better position in terms of talent. Along with Thibodeaux, Faoliu and Scott give the Ducks their top three tacklers back on the defensive line. But the tackles need to be more consistent pass rushers and have a short sample to show that before trying to make it to the NFL. - The Oregonian

  10/09/20 - Jordan Happle, rSr/2022, Oregon, 6-0, 202 (DS#50 SS) + More +

  Former Boise State safety Jordan Happle is heading home to Oregon to finish his college football career. Happle is from Portland, Oregon, and on Monday, he announced on Twitter that he's heading to the University of Oregon, where he'll be immediately eligible as a graduate transfer. Boise State confirmed on Sept. 24 that Happle was in the transfer portal. He was limited to five games last fall due to injuries, but he was expected to compete for a starting spot this season in the Broncos' secondary, which already has to replace safeties Kekoa Nawahine (graduation) and D'Andre Pierce, who transferred to Arizona State. - Idaho Statesman

  10/08/20 - Mase Funa, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 254 (DS#44 DE) + More +

  Bryson Young had a breakout senior season at the Stud position, which is always productive in Avalos' defense. Mase Funa is the clear favorite to take over as starter and Isaac Townsend and Treven Ma'ae are both coming off redshirt seasons but spent time with the second and third-team defenses, respectively, during the spring. Most of Funa's disruptive plays came against weaker nonconference play, but that has more to do with Young's ascent into a dominant force than anything. With more reps should come more explosive and disruptive plays from Funa, who will get to face a comparatively weaker mix of offensive tackles due to player graduations and opt outs. - The Oregonian

  10/08/20 - Deommodore Lenoir, Sr/2021, Oregon, 5-10, 199 (DS#29 CB) + More +

  Oregon's top outside cornerback isn't leaving for the NFL just yet. Deommodore Lenoir, the Ducks' starting boundary corner who declared for the NFL Draft last month, announced he's opting back in and will return to Oregon for the 2020 season. Lenoir had 47 tackles with 2.5 for loss, seven pass breakups, an interception, forced fumble and fumble recovery last season. As a sophomore, he had 52 tackles with three for loss and nine pass breakups. - The Oregonian

  10/08/20 - Brady Breeze, Sr/2021, Oregon, 6-0, 197 (DS#11 SS) + More +

  The Oregon secondary is losing yet another starter. Brady Breeze, who had a breakout second half to the 2019 season en route to earning Rose Bowl defensive MVP accolades, is opting out of the 2020 season and declaring for the NFL draft. Despite serving as a backup for the first eight games last season, Breeze had a career-high 62 tackles, two interceptions, three fumble returns including a touchdown, three pass breakups and a forced fumble. He made 40 of those tackles, both interceptions, two of his three fumble returns, three pass breakups and forced a fumble during the final six games and took over as the starter at boundary safety. Breeze was expected to start for the Ducks this fall, but instead becomes the fifth Oregon player to opt out. - The Oregonian

  10/06/20 - Dillon Gabriel, rSr/2025, Oregon, 5-11, 205 (DS#12 QB) + More +

  It was an off night for UCF quarterback Dillon Gabriel, who completed 28 of 51 passes for 330 yards with a touchdown and an interception. He started off hot, finding Jacob Harris for a 12-yard touchdown for the first score of the game. But Gabriel went 1-of-8 during a stretch that included his second interception of the season on a ball batted up at the line of scrimmage and picked off by Tulsa linebacker Zaven Collins. Gabriel threw two interceptions against the Golden Hurricane during last season's 34-31 loss. "I put this one on me," Gabriel said after dropping to 11-4 as a starter. "I've got to be better at QB play and we have to execute at a higher level. It shows when you don't do that what happens." Heupel said the entire team was responsible for breakdowns that cost the Knights a win. "Last year, we were 0-3 in those one-score games," he said. "You do the things we did tonight - coaching staff and players - that's how you end up on the wrong side of it." - Orlando Sentinel

  10/06/20 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Accountability was important after the Tigers' loss, and quarterback Bo Nix stepped up and took responsibility for what he considered a fall short of the mark on Saturday. Nix, who was 21-of-41 passing for 177 yards with no touchdowns and one interception, and who had eight rushing yards, shouldered the blame for taking pressure at different points against the Bulldogs, elaborating that he didn't slide the right way to help his linemen pick up that pressure. Nix also refused to place any blame on his receivers for drops and instead said he made some throws that the sophomore deemed "pitiful." When asked where Auburn needs to improve the most, Nix again placed the brunt of that burden on himself. "Just quarterback play," Nix said. "He needs to do a better job of moving the offense, being a better leader and completing passes when they are there." - Opelika-Auburn News

  10/02/20 - Brady Breeze, Sr/2021, Oregon, 6-0, 197 (DS#11 SS) + More +

  Oregon safety Brady Breeze is a semifinalist for the Campbell Trophy, presented annually to the top scholar-athlete in college football. Breeze is among a record 199 players who are semifinalists for the award, which goes to a senior or graduate student in their final year of playing eligibility who has a GPA of at least 3.2, "outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor" and displays strong leadership. Oregon's Justin Herbert won the award, which comes with a $25,000 postgraduate scholarship, last year. Breeze, who was previously named to the Wuerffel Trophy watch list, had a career-high 62 tackles, three interceptions, three fumble returns including a touchdown, three pass breakups and a forced fumble during a breakout junior season in 2019. He's expected to start for the Ducks at boundary safety this fall. - The Oregonian

  10/02/20 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  Georgia head coach Kirby Smart has had the challenge of preparing for Nix the last two seasons. For Smart, the biggest change he's seen from freshman Nix to sophomore Nix is his ability to make quick decisions, a natural result of having a year of playing under his belt. "You can put no price tag on experience. I saw that with Jake Fromm. The first year, you saw these simple mistakes, and then the next year it was like, 'OK, I know the down and distance better. I know where the yard marker is. I know I'm in field-goal range, don't take a sack. I know where I'm going with the ball. I've seen this defense already about eight times. I know exactly what to do with the ball,'" Smart said. "It's very obvious that his learning curve is really fast in terms of being able to understand his offense, how to use it. He made some decisions in the last game that last year he wouldn't have made that decision that fast. "He's done a tremendous job, and he's a really good football player." - Opelika-Auburn News

  10/01/20 - CJ Verdell, rSr/2022, Oregon, 5-08, 202 (DS#26 RB) + More +

  CJ Verdell is far and away the conference's leading returning rusher and coming off back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons. Verdell has proven himself to be the bell cow for Oregon each of the last two years. He's versatile, a great pass protector and runs hard downhill. The one lingering question remains Verdell's durability. When he can stay on the field, he's one of the best running backs in all of college football. But for two straight years he's had to leave numerous games due to an array of minor injuries. Having said that, Verdell is still tough as nails as none of those ailments has caused him to miss a game entirely. - The Oregonian

  09/30/20 - Bo Nix, rSr/2024, Oregon, 6-2, 214 (DS#6 QB) + More +

  After looking at what Nix and his receivers did in the 29-13 win over Kentucky, Georgia's Kirby Smart noted that Auburn has an ability to use its skill positions and get the ball to them from different locations. As the leader of the offense, Nix's skill is an essential component of that. And Nix has plenty of skill. Smart listed off Nix's attributes saying he has a vertical passing game, a great arm and great athleticism. That helped him complete 16 out of his 27 pass attempts for 233 yards and three touchdowns against Kentucky. He completed one of the throws with his legs wrapped up by a defender, and launched another deep ball from off his back foot. Nix doesn't just have an arm. He's also got a serious set of legs. "People don't understand how good of a runner he is," Smart said.

In Auburn's season opener, Nix was the team's leading rusher. He picked up 34 yards on five rushing attempts, averaging 6.8 yards per carry. He went for 13 yards on one of his runs. But out of all of his skills, Nix's decision-making ability is one of the most critical pieces of his success as a quarterback. As a coach's son, Smart said Nix has been around the game all his life and shows an he knows what good decisions look like. It has helped Nix to go six straight games without throwing an interception. He has made 220 pass attempts since his last interception, which was intercepted by Derek Stingley in the LSU game. "I think the dink-and-dunk is the decision making he has, and it gives him the opportunity to not throw picks," Smart said. "Quarterbacks avoid picks because they don't throw into situations that are adverse." - Birmingham News

  Auburn quarterback Bo Nix was named to the Paul Hornung Award Honor Roll for his performance against Kentucky, the Louisville Sports Commission announced Monday. Nix was versatile for the Tigers in their season-opening 29-13 victory against Kentucky. He was 16-of-27 passing for 233 yards and three touchdowns, rushed five times for 34 yards and punted twice with an average of 38.5 yards. His second punt came to a stop on the Kentucky 2-yard line. Nix was named to the honor roll along with Baylor senior running back and return specialist Trestan Ebner, who scored four times three different ways in the Bears' 47-14 victory over Kansas. - Opelika-Auburn News
