Football Practice Report: Sept. 7

Venue: Outdoor practice fields
Format: Full pads

For all the trouble Fresno State gave Oregon last week in the Ducks' season-opening victory, the UO defense could come away pleased with its ability to limit big plays by the Bulldogs.

Fresno State had three plays of 20 yards or more, and only three Pac-12 teams allowed fewer through last weekend. The Ducks also experienced how painful explosive plays can be – both of Fresno State's big plays of 30 yards or more contributed to scoring drives.

This week the challenge of limiting big plays becomes even tougher for Oregon's defense.
