It was great to be back at Autzen for the ASU game and to meet several ATQ posters.  Here's hoping it doesn't take me another three years for a return trip home.  Here's your quack fix for Tuesday.

• George Schroeder has a column up that argues that the restrictions on LeGarrette Blount (i.e., no interviews, no clarification of the "academic and behavioral ladders",  and not seeing any game action last Saturday) might actually be making the situation a larger distraction than it otherwise would be.  
• Rob Moseley has a notebook up that previews the Arizona Wildcat defense.  Moseley also reports that  Jamere Holland was already back at practice despite the knee injury he suffered against the Sun Devils.
• Gary Horowitz looks at T.J. Ward's return to the Oregon secondary.  Horowitz notes that Ward currently has the fifth most tackles on the team after only playing in five of the ten games thus far.  Horowitz also has a preview up of Arizona that focuses on Chip Kelly and the team not looking too far ahead.
  
• Gregg Biggins has a story up about TE recruit Christian Thomas, who was at the game this past weekend.  It sounds like he came away awfully impressed, despite the cold weather.  Thomas is rated the #7 TE overall by Scout and the #3 TE by Rivals, both of whom have him at four stars.

There are few video clips after the jump.  Go Ducks!
