News » actice before their fourth-year coach got to media

EUGENE, Ore. Shoes NZ Nike . -- Oregon coach Mark Helfrichs to-do list for fall camp isnt very long.Find his next quarterback to make the most of the Ducks offense.And retool the defense.And leave the preseason rankings and lowered expectations -- along with any Alamo Bowl residue from the 47-41 loss against TCU in triple overtime that denied 9-4 Oregon an eighth straight season with at least 10 wins -- to someone else.The Ducks began addressing Helfrichs top two points during Monday mornings first practice before their fourth-year coach got to media day at Autzen Stadium.The quarterback competition among Montana State graduate transfer Dakota Prukop, redshirt freshman Travis Jonsen and freshman Terry Wilson that played out in the spring game reconvened with mixed early reviews.They did a lot of good things fast and a lot of bad things fast, and well get those corrected, said Helfrich, whod like to announce his starter by 10 days before the Sept. 3 opener against UC Davis.We threw to the wrong team too many times this morning, which is good if youre a DB and bad if youre a quarterback.Should he win the job, Prukop, who passed for 3,025 yards and 28 touchdowns with 10 interceptions for the Bobcats last fall, doesnt need to channel Vernon Adams Jr. -- last seasons Big Sky import to Eugene -- for Oregons loaded offense to soar.Just make layups, Helfrich said. If you make 100 layups in a row, youre going to be the greatest player of all time.Dont try to do a 360, dont try a reverse layup, just make a layup. Hand the ball to (tailback) Royce Freeman, get the ball to (wide receiver) Charles Nelson -- thats making a layup.Prukop sees his role much the same way, with a twist on the basketball theme.In this offense, the quarterback is the point guard, and a point guard who looks for assists, he said. The quarterback is not a position where you can really do anything by yourself. Its cool to play quarterback in an offense with this many weapons around it.Jonsen, whose practice time last fall was derailed by a turf toe injury that required surgery, hasnt shied from taking on Prukop for the vacant starters job, because hes been there before.During high school in Anaheim, Calif., Jonsen as a junior beat out a senior before rolling up nearly 5,500 passing and rushing yards in two seasons as a dual-threat quarterback.I love it, love the competition, Jonsen said. Its fall camp, so its crunch time as to whos going to get the spot. Its going to be a long battle between me, Dakota and Terry.I believe that if I can prove that when things arent perfect, I can make things happen, thatll be really good for me.Regardless of who succeeds Adams, there might not be a better choice this fall than handing off to Freeman.If the 230-pound Heisman Trophy candidate can duplicate last years performance -- 1,836 rushing yards to break LaMichael James season record at Oregon -- the junior will also rewrite James career mark (5,082) before a possible early departure for the NFL.For Freeman, whos averaged 19.1 carries over 28 games, its all about durability now.I want to make bigger plays and go for longer rushes, Freeman said. I want to be out there every down if I can. I dont want to come out.Honestly, when I come out it hurts me, because its not something I like to do. Id like to be out there as many plays as I can this year.On the defensive side, Helfrich said new coordinator Brady Hoke will tinker with his 4-3 scheme for another two weeks before locking in on personnel that could include three first-year linebackers for the opener.The Ducks gave up a school-record 37.5 points (116th nationally) and 485.3 yards (117th) per game in 2015.Too many points, too many yards, too many explosive plays, Helfrich said. Our two big keys are explosive plays and taking care of the football on offense, and explosive plays and taking the football away on defense.Like anything, its a million tiny details that add up to that drastic change.

The 15th-ranked Canadian men lost the opening two games of their European tour: 19-15 to No. 17 Georgia and 21-20 to No. Anthony Milford has sent an injury scare through Brisbane just three days out from their crunch NRL clash with Canterbury after leaving training early on Monday.The 22-year-old pulled the pin on the session at Red Hill after approximately 30 minutes and headed back into the sheds with a trainer, although it wasnt clear what his specific injury concern was.I noticed hed left, Im not sure what the go is, co-captain Corey Parker said.They might just be putting him on ice.The Broncos say they are monitoring Milfords workload, with the star playmaker having played every game for the club both this season and last.He had arguably his best game in weeks in last weeks victory over Parramatta, scoring one try and setting up two others in a welcome return to form.But it would be a disaster if Brisbane were to lose him for Thursday nights meeting with the third-placed Bulldogs at Suncorp Stadium.Its great to see Milf playing with confidence, but its just good to see 17 guys enjoying their footy, like we saw Friday night, Parker said.
