: Outdoor practice fields: Full padsTwitter account identifies the UO junior cornerback as "Mr Bump N Run." When Lenoir was sidelined by injury last week at Washington, his fellow starter at cornerback found out why that is such a fitting nickname.switched sides of the field after Lenior's injury, from the "field" — the wide side of the field, depending on the hashmark from which the ball is snapped — to the "boundary." In the second half at UW, it was Graham who became "Mr Bump N Run.""That's really all you do over there, is just press coverage — lock somebody down all game," Graham said Wednesday. "I commend him for that. Because I like pressing, but I like playing off, too."Lenoir can afford to play closer to the line because, as the corner to the boundary, he will typically have a safety likeorhelping out over the top. Graham plays to the field with safetyand also typically nickel defender, and isn't as likely to play up at the line.After Lenoir was hurt in the first half last week, his backuptook over the boundary role. As Saturday's game wore on, Graham moved over to that spot, and his backupentered at the field corner position."We needed him to step up and be able to do that," UO defensive coordinatorsaid. "Some guys went down, obviously, and ultimately he stepped up and did a great job over there."Graham said the move was manageable from an assignment standpoint, but challenging in terms of technique. He'll be more ready in the future, he said — and predicted he'll need to be, given that Wright is deserving of more playing time at the field position.That said, Lenoir is ramping up his preparation for facing Washington State on Saturday. So Graham is preparing as well to play his usual position — which means covering a large swath of the field, and making tackles in space.That latter skill, he said, is "the hardest thing to do" on defense. But Graham is up for that challenge this week, after proving himself capable of answering a different challenge the week before, in moving from field corner to boundary corner midgame."It's a little different," McKinley said. "But Thomas is really smart.": In 1-on-1 pass drills early in practice, Graham lined up to the field against, and closed fast to break up a pass. He moved over to the boundary, andtucked a deep ball over his shoulder and into the arms of. But Graham closed out the drill by slapping the ball out of the hands of Devon Williams as the freshman looked to secure a catch. With no help from teammates, defenders aren't in an advantageous position during 1-on-1 coverage drills, so going 2-of-3 was a good showing for Graham. …The field-goal kickers had a very good day. In drills, bothandwent 3-for-3, with Lewis capping his series from 46 yards out. Then, in the weekly two-minute drill, both kickers made "game-winning" field goals for the offense, with Katleman's attempt coming from 40 yards out. … In driving the offense to the "winning" field goal, Herbert was 7-of-9 passing; his incompletions were a ball intentionally thrown away under pressure and another spiked into the turf to stop the clock.: Assistant coachspoke to the team after practice. He related the message of a speaker he himself once heard; the man had climbed Mount Everest, and spoke of the way the climb only got more difficult as the climbers progressed higher. That's a good metaphor for this season, Williams told the Ducks, with each challenge tougher than the last. … Wide receiverhas informed the program he intends to play elsewhere in 2020 as a graduate transfer. "We support him and his choice, and we move on," UO coachsaid. … Cristobal also confirmed Wednesday thatis now back at cornerback full-time, after moving to receiver in late August due to injuries at that position. "That guy's about as unselfish as it gets," Cristobal said. "He really picked up right where he left off on defense."Head coachDefensive coordinatorSenior linebackerJunior cornerbackJunior safetyRedshirt freshman safety
