Scouting the Ducks
Tuesday, August 19, 11:30 a.m.
The Ducks have a single workout on Tuesday (2:05) before their final day of doubles on Wednesday. After today's workout, only 10 practices remain heading into the season opener on Aug. 30 against the Huskies.
The presence of NFL scouts on the sidelines at Oregon practices is nothing new, but they have been out in force during Fall Camp.

Unsolicited, he offered the following: "You've got a really good team here. They could be something special."

ESPN The Magazine did a recent piece on college football fans and ranked Autzen as the second loudest and third best overall stadium in the land.New to the blog?
