Quack Fix: De'Anthony Thomas injury report, Colorado preparations

Highlights (from yesterday's practice report)

• The Oregon defense got a bit of extra work, going against both the No. 1 and No. 2 defense.
• Pharaoh Brown looks like he's just about ready for his breakout. Now he just needs some targets.
• Mosley also notes that father and son will coach against each other in the Oregon/Colorado matchup this weekend. Gary Bernardi is the offensive line coach at Colorado, and his son Joe is a grad assistant at Oregon.

• Looks like we'll get to see more of Byron Marshall and Thomas Tyner this weekend. Coach Campbell has effectively ruled out the possibility of DAT playing against the Buffs.
• Thomas talked a bit more yesterday about the first injury in his career.
• Jason Quick has a profile on Ayele Forde, and the art of kickoff coverage.
• Don't expect the altitude to affect Oregon too much on Saturday. As they already have shown, they're great at blocking out things they can't control.
• Basketball season is right around the corner. The Register Guard has a piece on the Oregon women's team, noting that they are finally healthy. After being down to only 7 players at times last season, hopefully they'll improve from last season's dismal performance.
