Oregon's Media Day

Today was Pac-10 media day. Mike Bellotti opened up the day by saying: " Its exciting to be back for 2008 season, despite the fact we are mourning Todd Doxey." He also says that Jeremiah Johnson is back almost fully back to himself. Last week johnson ran a 4.4 40 which puts him way ahead of schedule. He says he sees Oregon using Johnson and Legarrete [Blount]as a 1-2 punch such as he did early with Stewart and Johnson. Bellotti commented by saying:" Legarrete is a north to south runner, while Jeremiah is a jitter bug.
As everyone knows oregon will have 4-5 Qb's competing for the starting job. But Costa is the man til someone beats him out. Jaison Williams(or as picky duck fans call him 50-50) is set to break the all time recieving record held by Samie Parker. Williams has potential to be a top 40 pick in this upcoming draft depending on his senior year. I see Williams being a huge threat and posting a 1200 yard season that we all know he is capable of. Oregon was picked to finish 3rd by the coaches behind USC and ASU.
On another note, practices will be starting soon and that means one thing people. Duck football is less than a month away from kick off.
Here is the site that broadcasts the media day. It should be archived fairly soon.
