Vernon Adams was named the starting quarterback and Matt Hegarty was named the starting center. Rusty looks in depth at the week 1 depth chart pointing out key players to watch, and the depth and skill of certain units.
High-profile transfers Vernon Adams and Matt Hegarty are both starting week 1 against Eastern Washington. Vernon Adams and Jeff Lockie were locked in pre-season football to determine the winner and the two-time Walter Payton Award finalist won out. Adams will start against his former team in week 1. To me the biggest transfer of the off-season was Hegarty who shores up the weakest position on the Oregon offensive line after the spring game.
