Quack Fix: Catron says he's "fine," expects to play in Saturday's Civil War

It's Civil War week! Here's your Wednesday Morning Quack Fix:

  • It sounds like Joevan Catron will suit up for Saturday's Civil War in Corvallis. Head coach Dana Altman told reporters earlier Tuesday there's a 50/50 chance the senior returns, but according to Catron, he's "fine." The Ducks' leading scorer has been out the past two games with a strained calf muscle and as John Hunt points out, plays a big role in Oregon's offense, so it will be nice to have him healthy and back in the lineup.
  • And for those of you whose excitement for Oregon hoops is waning, watch this. That's incoming recruit Jabari Brown posterizing some poor sap.
  • In other recruiting news, Oregon verbal commit and local boy Colt Lyerla has been upgraded by Rivals.com to 5-star status, bumping Oregon's 2011 class to No. 6 on Rivals' list.
  • Ted Miller lists all former Pac-10 players who will appear in the Pro Bowl in a week and a half. Congratulations to former Oregon star Haloti Ngata, who will be making his second appearance in as many seasons.
  • Miller also examines the effect of the "misses" on the Pac-12 schedule next fall. Despite retaining the 9-game conference slate (the Big 12 is the only other major conference to play 9 inner-conference opponents), Pac-12 teams won't play two teams from the other division each year.
  • Despite being named Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year, Walter Camp Coach of the Year, Sporting News Coach of the Year, Associated Press Coach of the Year, and AFCA Coach of the Year, Chip Kelly lost out to Auburn head coach Gene Chizik for the Paul "Bear" Bryant Coach of the Year award yesterday. If you're going award Chizik, don't you kind of have to give it to Gus Malzahn too? Just saying...

ESPN's MO...

is that if they aren’t from the South, then they aren’t really worthy of their highest rankings. Obviously California is the exception, there, but I’ve always noticed with ESPN that most of their scouts focus on the southern region. Scout.com focuses a lot more attention on the west coast recruits than ESPN, and Rivals is usually the most balanced.

Anyone know how many starts that our guys on the O-line who return will have???

Many people are comparing their expectations for the LSU game with the fBSU game and I remember that we only returned 19 career starts between the 5 0-linemen. I am too lazy to look up how many starts that Asper, York, Cody, and Weems account for between them in their careers but I’m guessing it’s much more than 19. If anyone could find this I would greatly appreciate it.

Other factors that make the LSU game different than the fBSU game:
1) Won’t be Chip’s first game as head coach.
2) We won’t have the team psyche of “we should beat these guys easily”
3) LaMichael has played in a game before.
4) Robo-Masoli won’t be playing QB
5) Bellotti won’t be on the sideline trying to tell big balls Chip what to do.

Thoughts?

My eye started twitching uncontrollably with the thought of Allowalotti being head coach. He has a ton of redeeming characteristics, and the new D he installed under Chippy is much improved, but I find it hard to believe he is or ever will be head coach material. Listen to him ramble on during interviews and compare that to the best head coaches out there and that is enough for me.

To tell you the truth

I don’t think Petersen would come to Oregon. He just passed up Stanford, and that tells me he’s either
a) Holding out for some ginormous job like Florida, Texas or Ohio State, or
b) Staying at BSU until they bury his cold dead carcass under the blue turf.

I realize the likelihood that we’d get them wasn’t a part of the hypothetical question (becaue I don’t think we get Gruden either), but that’s my two cents on Petersen.

Do you really think that Auburns coaching staff was just that good, or was it just they had the best player hands down in the country playing for them. I am interested to see how well they do next year.

by ducksfan on Jan 19, 2011 2:28 PM PST up reply actions  

I’m kinda with you. Without taking anything away from Chizik and Malzahn, it doesn’t seem like Auburn’s playbook was anything special. Newton accounted for 50% of their rushing TDS and had 30% more carries than their starting running back. They could be excellent coaches…or they could just be guys who were smart enough to ride Newton’s coattails.

I agree, but the same could be said for Kelly too

It’s not just about the coaches, or just about the players, it’s about the coaches putting the players in a place to succeed and the players executing.

In this case, I think Oregon has superior talent and Malzahn has shown the ability to put players in a place to succeed, much like what he did at Auburn.

Keenan Lowe is the real deal.

Scored 6 touchdowns in the Oregon state championship 6A football game in a ‘losing’ cause. Against Curtis White’s Sheldon team. Look it up on line. I think he had 5 rushing TDs and 1 receiving and caught a lot of other passes besides. Fast, determined, had committed to Washington cuz OR didn’t offer cuz they didn’t have skolly. I think he got the SoCal tweeter’s skolly, the guy who vilified Chip and got 86d. White and Lowe were good friend and White asked him to reconsider so he stiffed the Fuskies and that’s another reason to love him.

I think the deal with Lowe

was that he wanted to play WR. For a long time UO only wanted him as a DB, and UW recruited him as a receiver. Once UO finally came around and told him he could play WR, it went a long way to causing the switch.

No way he gets drafted. He barely even played this year.

I would be curious to see how many snaps he played. I bet it is pretty close to the same number as say Ricky Heimuli. There has to be something weird going on here. Maybe he was about to be academically ineligible. I can’t see the coaches telling him he wouldn’t play much given the rotation we started using this season on defense.

There’s nothing wrong with aiming to be a scout team player. We’re so used to seeing guys leave for the millions but that isn’t in the stars for everyone. Maybe he’d rather make a living being a scout team / special teams / backup guy in the NFL or CFL or something like that then go back to school. If he wasn’t going to contribute much anyway and was already wrapping things up academically then it’s hard to fault him for trying to move on with his life now instead of next year.

He's Done (guess)

He redshirted in 07, so he might have already graduated, or about to, and decided to blow off his last year of eligibility for a quick pay check at a NFL camp for the summer. Couldn’t hurt.

Well, depends on the sport

if is it college football or hockey then it has to be close to 25-50%. I know the students at a football game have to have at least the BAC of a bar rag.
NBA, MLS, wrestling, fencing, pop warner etc have very few.

I’m so glad we’re keeping top in-state prospects in Oregon!

I hope we put him at LB or LB/DE hybrid

Man he’d be a beast on D.

Agreed

I think we need more talent on the D, maybe its because they get all the attention but it seems like we have tons of big time talent on offense but he could fill some needs for the D. I would love to see him as a LB/DE hybrid…

by Andomania on Jan 19, 2011 2:04 PM PST up reply actions  

I'll third this

I want to see him step up as a LB to replace a massive loss imo in the LB core. I think we have capable players to step up but I want to see Colt become the next Matthewes.

Oregon recendid an offer to Kyrie Wilson

link

It’s insider but basically they said that Oregon is getting too many LBs this year to offer a scholarship to Wilson. He’s not ranked but seems to be a fairly hot prospect. Hope he lands somewhere good.

This could mean that Colt will indeed be a part of next years LB core.

It sucks to pull a scholarship like that. I’m glad he’s taking it well, and it sounds like he’ll still get to play at a FBS school.

Agreed. Hate to do this to a Kid. We're not the SEC.

Would a coach ever get on the phones to plug a recruit after something like this happens? Wasn’t Wazzu interested? I’d hope that Chip does what he can to help the kid out since he thought he had a ride coming. Once again, this isn’t the SEC.

I’m not sure what the SEC has to do with this. It does kind of stink, but on the other hand, recruits can do this to schools as well.

I really don’t like this. You offer a kid, he accepts, it’s a done deal. I know that he’s not our highest rated prospect by any means, but it’s a bad precedent.

Someone want to explain to me why OSU wouldn’t be interested in an up and coming 3* LB? Looking at their Rivals page, they have one LB and aren’t even going after this kid.

I know it’s Corn-Valley and who the hell would want to spend more then 10 minutes there, but why no interest in a kid who’s obviously shown interest in coming to the state of Oregon. Lord knows they could use some upgrades at the LB position.

Oh yes we love the quitter

Say what you want about her politics, but her resume is undeniable, she has held 2 public offices: Mayor of a Town with a population of 10K, and she also had a gig as Governor, which she quit. Apparently she quit to spare the state the expense of having to respond to several investigations into her abuses of power, including having the Todd sit at her desk and direct her people, firing the Director of Public Safety (the head of the State Police) because he refused to fire her former brother-in-law without cause, among other things.
