With Vernon Adams' broken index finger, Ducks should start Jeff Lockie this weekend
We all know Oregon doesn't talk about injuries, but Vernon Adams clearly wasn't himself on Saturday night during Oregon's 31-28 loss to Michigan State on the road. As it turns out, Adams was playing with a broken index finger, according to Aaron Fentress of Comcast Sportsnet Northwest.
Against the fifth-ranked Spartans, Adams looked uncomfortable in the pocket all night long. His decision making wasn't crisp and he struggled to make accurate passes all night. As a result, Adams threw two interceptions and had a QBR of just 39.5. If Adams had been healthy, would he have completed that late pass attempt to Byron Marshall that instead sailed over his head into the end zone? We'll never know.
