Oregon has 3 options at quarterback vs Washington State
Oregon wasn't saying which quarterback — or how many — it plans to play on Saturday afternoon when the Ducks (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) host Washington State (2-2, 0-1).
Vernon Adams Jr., who was named the starter just prior to the beginning of the season but then broke the index finger on his throwing hand in the opener, sat out last weekend's 41-24 victory at Colorado.
Neither quarterback had a particularly spectacular outing against the Buffaloes, but the Ducks were able to effectively run the ball for the win.
Sophomore Luke Falk threw for 389 yards and two touchdowns last weekend in Washington State's 34-28 loss to Cal.
Falk and Washington State coach Mike Leach's Air Raid offense could pose challenges for Oregon's pass defense, which has struggled this season.
The Ducks offered staff and students of Umpqua Community College free tickets to Saturday's game.
President Barack Obama was scheduled to visit the families of the victims in the southern Oregon town on Friday.
