Finally this is becoming the Oregon offense. We took things from a bunch of teams, but we're finally making it our own.
alive attack biggest came created half inside plays point quite run second stay stuffed talked
What they did in the second half was run more laterally, created some gaps. And some of their biggest plays came when we stuffed it inside at the point of attack and then they reversed it. We didn't quite stay alive as much as we talked about.

People were viewing him as the savior, as the guy who's going to take care of everybody. I felt the pressure as his coach. Everyone is counting on him.

My secondary should be solid. Aaron Gipson has just been a veteran of the cornerback position.
cameron football guy last replace team toughest
One of the things we'll do with Cameron is look at him at that X position. I think the toughest guy to replace from last year's football team may actually be Demetrius Williams.
athletes best fastest great played reminds safety
(Costa) reminds me a lot of Kellen Clemens in that he played safety and quarterback, was one of the toughest, one of the fastest and one of the best athletes on the field. And he is a great leader.
bona ground
Terrence Whitehead is a bona fide, Pac-10, 1,000-yard ground gainer.

There were some good collisions. I was pleased with some things the defense did, though the offense maybe got the better of it in the end. We're a little rusty, but I've got to remember it was the first day in pads.

Dennis is by far the better athlete. Brady has a gamesmanship, a sense of poise, that it's hard to not want to have him in there sometimes. They do a nice job, a great job, of supporting each other, providing a spark for the team, and bringing some different things to the table.
backup entire maybe people starter
Dennis has been the starter the entire time, and he is the starter. We have just tended to play our backup more than other people are maybe comfortable with doing. I don't know that that's going to change.

As both of these men have shown, they have great resiliency. They're tough mentally and physically, and they bring something to the table when they enter the game. They don't drop their heads or hang their heads when they're substituted for.
