STORY: Oregon's Defensive Backs up to Challenge in Darren Carrington's Return

Wide receiver Darren Carrington spent his four four years after high school in Eugene with the Ducks. In his Oregon career, the San Diego native helped the Ducks advance to the inaugural College Football Playoff Championship Game. Carrington also has 100-or-more receiving yards in seven games while donning the green and yellow. After DUII charges surfaced over the summer, Carrington was booted from the program. As a member of the Utah Utes, Carrington leads the Pac-12 with 92.7 receiving yards per game. On Saturday, he makes his much-anticipated return to Autzen Stadium on the opposing sideline. Oregon's defensive backs are eager to matchup against their long-time friend and teammate. Listen to the full story below.

Ducks get second Pac-12 win with 3-0 victory over Utah

Papé Field looked like something out of a movie with the fog and mist taking over the field. That didn't have an effect on the Oregon soccer team as they asserted their dominance and took down Utah 3-0. The Ducks had possession for most of the game and finally broke through with Nicole Seaman's header in the 41st minute. They then capitalized on a Utah mistake and Miranda Schulz scored in the 47th minute. Seaman later got her second goal of the night in the 88th minute. They move to 8-9 on the season and 2-7 in Pac-12 play. The Ducks will finish off their home schedule on senior day as they take on the Colorado Buffaloes at 11 a.m. on Sunday.

STORY: Oregon's Jumbled Right Side Displaying Depth in the Trenches

After weeks of consistency along the offensive line that led the way for a dynamic rushing attach that averages nearly 250 yards a game, injuries forced the Oregon offense to finally make changes up front. With Jake Pisarcik unable to go against UCLA, the Ducks saw Jacob Capra earn a start at right guard, only to be replaced by Calvin Throckmorton and Brady Aiello later in the game. The change didn't stop the Ducks ground game, as they ran their way to 246 yards in the loss. With Pisarcik potentially unavailable once more, the right side will likely be occupied by the two redshirt sophomores Throckmorton and Aiello. Listen below to the full story on the two big men displaying intellect, toughness, and versatility as they secure the right side of Oregon's offense.
