EUGENE — Oregon's tour of the state did not continue Tuesday as scheduled.
Hours after announcing the day's practice would take place in tiny Gilchrist, 95 miles east and more than 4,000 feet up from Eugene's elevation, coach Willie Taggart said he awoke Tuesday morning and had a change of heart. Practice remained in Eugene.
Taggart believes eliminating one road trip this week will ultimately benefit its preparation for UO's final destination: Laramie, Wyoming, and Saturday's road game at 7,220-foot War Memorial Stadium.
"Just a change of heart," he said.
