: Outdoor practice fields: Full padsOn Saturday afternoon in Autzen Stadium,can flip the script from his first collegiate start.Oregon's senior transfer at quarterback will make his UO debut when the Ducks host UC Davis on Saturday (2 p.m., Pac-12 Network). Prukop will make his FBS debut against an FCS team, two years after making his first collegiate start for Montana State of the FCS, against Arkansas State of the FBS.Prukop was 14-of-26 passing for 142 yards with two interceptions in that game, a 37-10 loss on the road for the Bobcats. Montana State was motivated to pull off a shocking upset that day, and Prukop figures UC Davis will come to Eugene this weekend with a similar mindset."I know this team's not going to lay down," Prukop said. "The level of play isn't that big of a difference, in my opinion. So we're going to be ready."Another fifth-year transfer from the FCS level, offensive lineman, figures to get significant playing time in his own UO debut Saturday. Morgan is a transfer from Dayton, and though the Flyers didn't face an FBS team in Morgan's three seasons there, he knows that a smaller school will have a chip on its shoulder in this situation."They're going to be really fired up," said Morgan, who got reps at both tackle spots in Monday's practice. "They have nothing to lose. This is their Super Bowl."Prukop has faced UC Davis once before, later in that same 2014 season. That day went a little better than the opener – Prukop threw for 361 yards and ran for 148 more, accounting for six touchdowns along the way."I remember getting pulled out pretty early, and not wanting to come out," he said Monday, while smiling at the memory of that 77-37 victory. "That was a fun game."Outside expectations no doubt will call for the Ducks to enjoy an outcome similar to that this weekend. FCS veterans Prukop and Morgan know from experience to be wary, and Prukop said he saw a good response Monday from the Ducks to the start of game week practices.Given the bonus day on the schedule Saturday, the Ducks jumped ahead and held what will be a Tuesday practice on Monday, in full pads and for two solid hours of work."We definitely have a sense of energy," Prukop said afterward. "Tuesday is our long day, and we got through it and did really well. We're just going to keep progressing throughout the week.": The Ducks had Sunday off, and that might have explained a little early rust. On the first play of the opening tempo drill,had a ball go off his hands right to, who also couldn't handle it.then threw a ball too high for, andpicked it off. But things got rolling after position drills. In the final two team periods, Herbert had a beautiful deep ball to, and later threw a dart to, who juked a scout-team safety in the open field and was off to the races. …A defense looking to force more turnovers did that in the last two periods against the scouts., who is constantly around the ball, came up with two fumble recoveries, on strips byand. … In pass-rush drills,showed off his sneaky quick first step to beat guards on a couple different reps.more than held his own when matched up witha couple times, andgot his hands onbefore pushing past him to get to the "quarterback.": Seven familiar Ducks joined practice Monday to begin the NCAA acclimation period, so that they'll be good to go for the start of next week. They included defensive lineman, linebackersand, defensive backsand, and receiversand Benjamin Thiel (above), the latter a veteran of the UO track and field program. … With the team now divided into the "travel squad" and scout teams, there are a few guys who are swing players between the two. They appear to include, but are not necessarily limited to, safety, linebacker, linebacker(below) and defensive end. …If the Ducks kick off to open Saturday's game, it appears the first two true freshmen to play in 2016 will be linebackerand cornerback. They both were on the No. 1 kickoff team as of Monday. …rotated in as the center with the No. 2 offense at times. Shouldbe unable to go for an extended period, it would seem Hunt it likely to get the call there.Senior quarterback
