: Autzen Stadium: ScrimmageTwo out of three ain't bad.Coming into Saturday's scrimmage, UO football coachwanted to see depth emerge throughout the team, a reduction in penalties and quality special teams play. Though penalties continue to be a source of frustration, several young players had solid days in Autzen Stadium, and all phases of special teams were drilled over the course of the two-hour-plus practice.Among the most consistent standouts of camp so far has been freshman safety, a ballhawk who had an interception on three of the first four days of camp. That has earned Holland some reps with the first team, in both base and nickel situations, and he was a playmaker again Saturday.Holland was with the No. 2 defense to open the scrimmage, and had a sack of quarterbackearly on, the only defensive highlight during the first touchdown drive of the day for the No. 1 offense. Later, playing with the ones, Holland tackledfor loss on first down to put the offense in a hole; a punt followed, after incompletions on second and third down. The No. 1 units stayed on the field to face off again, and Holland ended the possession by breaking up a pass on fourth down."I just wanted to give 100 percent effort," Holland said. "Coach Leavitt always talks about having fanatical effort. In the last scrimmage I didn't feel I gave it my all, so today I just wanted to come out and play for my teammates."For Holland, the tackle for loss in the run game was a point of particular pride."Of course I want to get picks and all that," he said. "But coming into the hole and making a tackle like that, that's something I've wanted to work on. That's my main focus right now, is tackling. So that's one of my highlights of fall camp so far."The offense also saw a newcomer contribute Saturday, graduate transfer. The receiver missed most of the first week, began easing into position drills earlier this week and was able to participate in some 11-on-11 action by Saturday's scrimmage.Hines was the primary slot receiver with the No. 1 offense. He had two catches but also a drop early in the scrimmage, then sprungfor a touchdown with a block in a red-zone drill and caught a pass from Herbert during the offense's march to a touchdown in the two-minute drill."It's been a slow grind, just getting the timing down and my legs underneath me," said Hines, who underwent an offseason knee procedure. "Just trying to find ways to celebrate the process. It's coming along pretty fast, but just taking it day by day."Indeed, the Ducks are deep in the grind of camp. But Cristobal continues to create ways to energize the team in the dog days of August, and Saturday was no different.Cristobal ended last week's scrimmage with a goal-line drill, and he found a way to end Saturday on a fun, competitive note that had guys pumped up when they left the field. He called for one play at the goal line, between the second-string guys — but with the offense playing defense, and vice versa.played offensive coordinator, and drew up a double reverse throwback pass. Linebackerlined up at QB, handed off and then leaked out into the flat to receive a pass from, but TEwas playing outside linebacker and sniffed it out, intercepting the pass.Cristobal called the creativity by the defense "pretty impressive.""That's something competitive, but a way we can remind them that it's football, and it's a game — and games are supposed to be fun," Cristobal said. "Now, you only have fun when you're winning. But it's a good way to end practice and also test guys, see how they rationally think when placed in a situation like that.": The No. 1 offense started slow, losing a couple drives to the No. 2 defense due to some penalties and dropped passes.

Gregory, who uses crutches to walk and has braces on both legs, took pictures with players on the field after the scrimmage. … When he wasn't lining up at receiver and throwing throwback passes Saturday, Stephens was again a near constant presence in special teams drills. He looks like a potential starter on the kickoff, kickoff return and punt return teams. … During punt drills,had a kick travel about 55 yards in the air, andwas able to angle a kick from midfield out of bounds at the 1-yard line.: The Ducks will hold a walk-through Sunday after a team BBQ, and then have Monday off from practice.
