Oregon's prep week for the team's showdown with No. 7 Stanford is underway. The Ducks spent Tuesday on the practice turfs in full pads.

The significance of this week’s game was clear. The practice felt more subdued and methodical than in previous weeks. Defensive grad assistant Kwame Agyeman summed it up best, telling the inside linebackers “every rep will matter Saturday, so make every rep matter today” as the group went through individual drills. Loud rap music still accompanied practice, but it was a noticeably quieter at practice than in previous weeks, as everyone appeared to be on high alert.

Following practice, offensive coordinator Marcus Arroyo felt the team was dialed in during the second practice of the week, saying "I think we had a good practice".

Oregon struggled in both the run and pass games in last week's win over San Jose State. The team built a 14-0 lead, but was unable to build upon that advantage. Arroyo said it came down to execution and consistency.

“There were some times there during the game where I felt like we had some miscues," He said. "More than anything, the thing we got to learn was that it’s hard to do things right all time regardless of who you’re playing.

“[San Jose State] played hard, but we did some things that really put ourselves in jeopardy. That’s why we preach Oregon cannot beat Oregon."

Below are our observations from Tuesday's practice.
