: Nike World Headquarters: Full padsWrigley Field may be known as the "friendly confines," but that designation could have applied to Autzen Stadium for the Oregon football team in 2017.In seven home games last fall, the Ducks won six times, the exception their first game following the shoulder injury to starting quarterback. But it was another story outside of Eugene; identifying reasons for that was a primary goal this offseason."That's definitely something we're trying to figure out," Herbert said. "We were looking back at our record, and we were 1-4. And that's not acceptable."Indeed the Ducks were 1-4 on the road last fall, and that doesn't include their Las Vegas Bowl loss on a neutral field. In part to prepare his team to perform away from home, first-year UO coachon Tuesday took Oregon football practice on the road, to Ronaldo Field at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton."The approach to the entire thing has to be a change a mindset," Cristobal said prior to practice Tuesday. "It's a huge focal point for today."Cristobal noted that the Ducks practice in the morning, and so an afternoon practice Tuesday also would prepare them for the varied game times of a regular season. And Tuesday was also the first day of this preseason camp that the Ducks were in full pads."We have a lot of things to prove today," Cristobal said.The biggest was getting comfortable performing well away from home. Three of the road losses in 2017 came while Herbert was hurt, but he was healthy for a September loss at Arizona State. And the UO offense struggled to get untracked against Boise State in the bowl game.For a 2018 team with championship aspirations, that simply won't do. Something, they know, needs to change."It's a business mindset, a business mentality," junior linebackersaid. " 'I came to execute, and that's what I'm doing to do,' from the hotel environment to the field. I'm excited to see my team grow in that area this year.": Practice began with an Oklahoma drill.
