STORY: Oregon's Front Seven Showing Steady Improvement

After struggling through all of last season, Oregon's defensive front seven is making major and steady improvements in 2017. Despite the loss, the Ducks' front seven pushed the Arizona State offensive line all night, totaling 13 tackles for loss and four sacks. A lot of the disruption is credited to Jalen Jelks, who set new career highs for both tackles for loss and sacks in Tempe. The unit as a whole, though, is also improving. Sophomore Troy Dye, who is looked upon by many as the leader of Oregon's defense, tallied just two tackles in the first half but the Oregon front still managed one of its better overall performances of the season. With a tough stretch of games upcoming for the Ducks, improvement in that area could prove to be a difference maker.

STORY: Ducks Looking to Youth in Charles Nelson's Absence

Through the first three weeks of the season, the Oregon offense appeared to be revitalized under Willie Taggart and had positioned themselves as one of the most explosive units in all of college football. Leading the way from the wideout position was Charles Nelson, the most experienced pass-catcher quarterback Justin Herbert had at his disposal. But following an ankle sprain in Week 3, the Oregon offense looked off against Arizona State, managing just 14 first half points, and totaling only 35 in their first loss of the season. With an increasingly dangerous PAC-12 slate ahead of them, the Ducks are in need of another playmaker stepping into Nelson's shoes for the coming weeks. Listen below to a full story on Charles Nelson's absence in the Oregon offense. Charles Nelson's Injury Leaves Void in the Oregon Offense (by Alex Castle)… Read More
