QUARTERBACK
Who's back: In an alternate reality, Anthony Brown might have transferred to Oregon early in 2020, had a full offseason and preseason camp to battle for the starting position, won that job and been the guy who led the Ducks to their second straight Pac-12 title last fall. The pandemic laid waste to that idea, of course, so Brown bided his time behind starter Tyler Shough. When the UO offense began to struggle at the midway point of the season, Brown provided a boost off the bench in both the Pac-12 Championship game win over USC and the Fiesta Bowl loss to Iowa State.
