Ingredients for a Civil War upset: How Oregon State can knock off Oregon

Collins' return to the practice field — as a wide receiver — and possible medical clearance for Friday’s game adds an unexpected storyline the Civil War.

How much does he play? How quickly has he picked up the nuances of a new position? Who knows. But at the very least, he gives the Ducks something extra to think about while game planning. And Collins’ dynamic athleticism makes him a versatile offensive weapon. He could split out wide to run a route and make a catch. He could go in motion and take a handoff. Or, yes, he could still even line up behind center to throw or run.
