Quack Fix: Thomas Tyner is healthy and looking to contribute

Practice highlights (from Moseley's official report):

• Despite practicing in only helmets and shoulder pads on Monday, the coaching staff was pleased after practice.
• Ifo Ekpre-Olomu dropped by to visit with his teammates.
• For actual highlights, Johnny Mundt made a fingertip catch at the back of the end zone for a touchdown.

Quote of the day:

I'm here to play football with my teammates and I'm enjoying it.  Nothing else matters.

• Chantel Jennings asked several of Mariota's teammates if they could beat Marcus at anything.  The most popular answers were to video games and golf, though I think Hamani Stevens is probably on the right track.
• Grantland has a couple of playoff-related articles.  First, Matt Hinton previews the QB matchup of Mariota versus Jameis Winston.  Also, Holly Anderson tries to help out those without a rooting interest pick a team to back.
• The basketball team pulled out a 69-67 overtime win against UC-Irvine in their final non-conference game.  The Ducks head into conference play with a 9-3 record and will host Oregon State on January 3rd.
• On the women's side, basketball defeated Seattle U 70-44 in a game where the Ducks led by as much as 38.  Jillian Alleyne chipped in 13 points and 15 rebounds, extending her conference record streak of double-double games to 20. Alleyne still has some work to do to break the NCAA record of 119 straight games.

Go Ducks!
