: Outdoor practice fields: Full padsAfter practice Monday, UO coachencouraged his team to get its mind right for what he said would be their toughest practice yet of preseason camp, Tuesday morning.From the get-go, it was clear the Oregon offense got the message. They set the tone in the tempo period to start the day, and as they came off the fieldwas clapping his hands and encouraging them to keep it up. They did, throughout what was the Ducks' third competition day of preseason camp.The final score ended up 121-116 offense, as the defense tightened things up in the 11-on-11 periods later in practice. Their efforts weren't enough to make up a big gap the offense opened up in the early periods, with the quarterbacks and receivers capitalizing on the chemistry they've been building the last couple weeks.The first major scored period was 1-on-1s. There weren't a ton of highlight-reel efforts, just a bunch of plays like thisreception in which a guy gets off the line, creates some separation in his route and benefits from great timing with the quarterback to haul in a reception:It was more of the same in 7-on-7. Prukop connected withon a beautiful deep ball andgot a safety to overplay a route while completing a touchdown pass to. The score was 80-45, offense, at the end of that period."The offense came out with a lot of intensity," junior defensive backsaid. "They wanted to shove it down our throats from the jump. As a defense we've got to come out with a strong mentality, and be ready to compete."The defense found its footing the first time the units went 11-on-11, perhaps not coincidentally.had a couple great runs to help the offense hold onto its lead, but the defense chipped into it thanks in part to a coupletackles for loss.Another 7-on-7 period was run under "clutch" conditions. Prukop connected on another deep ball to Brown, setting up a TD reception for. Then Herbert completed 6-of-7 passes, the last a TD pass to, Herbert's fifth different receiver on the drive.The defense really started to rally at that point, though. Withat QB, a drive stalled and the offense needed to attempt a Hail Mary, whichastutely batted down in the end zone. Then, with Prukop back behind center,plucked a ball out of the air at the line and ran it back for a pick-six.The score continued to tighten in the last team period, asmade a couple plays, breaking up a pass intended fora few plays after depositing a receiver who attempted to block him on his back. But the offense held on, for its second victory in three competition days this preseason.The Ducks will be in shells Wednesday, before holding a scrimmage Thursday that serves as the de facto end of preseason camp.: Wallace got the offense some points in the first 11-on-11 period when he went over the middle, leaped and reached back for a pass thrown just behind him, hauling it in for the reception. …broke up a couple different plays in the 7-on-7 clutch period, including one in the end zone on the final rep of the drill. Herbert had put the offense into position to score with a great throw while rolling out to his right, whichhauled in. The play before, Herbert fired a laser to Nelson streaking up the field, which seemed to catch the receiver off-guard; he wasn't able to haul it in, though Herbert put it right on his hands.Robinson played cornerback quite a bit Tuesday. He started there the latter half of 2015, and is staying ready in case the Ducks' depth becomes an issue.got some run with the No. 1 defense while Robinson was at corner, a day after secondary coachcited McGraw andas guys who have made progress this month to solidify the depth at safety. … Speaking of McGraw, the Louisiana native was no doubt thrilled when a New Orleans Saints scout spent some time during position drills watching the defensive backs. …A week ago I wouldn't have thought so, but it seems like(above) could be on track to play as a true freshman. The SAM linebacker can really run, and looks like he could be an asset on the kickoff teams. Robinson said the Ducks might look to play more young guys situationally this season. "This year we're focusing on having a lot of depth," he said. "Young guys, even though you might not see a lot of snaps playing on defense or offense, you've got to help us any way you can. … If the younger guys can help us out on special teams, give the veterans a break, that will help us out, make us a better team." … I mentioned yesterday thatalways has the quarterbacks doing something new, and today was no different; here he puts them through a drill that emphasizes their shoulder turn:
