With four running backs capable of starting in most systems in division one football, three veteran tight ends, and a handful of explosive athletes at the wide receiver position, new offensive coordinator Matt Lubick's biggest problem is finding creative ways to get them all on the field.
Eugene, Ore-- Historically, the University of Oregon's football program is not one to shy away from doing things differently. The flashy uniforms, the game-changing style of offensive play, the insanely alluring team facilities, and as of late the will to move players around to different positions. Experimenting with versatility is becoming a common practice in Eugene: John Loyd was an electric special teams addition acquired from the Oregon basketball program two years ago, last year Charles Nelson moved from his primary spot at wide receiver over to the defensive side to help with safety depth (and back to receiver this year), and the recruitment of athletes like Kirk Merritt that have the ability to play any position on the field all attest to this.
