WEEKLY STACK-UP

OREGON VS. ARIZONA STATE

Written by: Ryan Kostecka @Ryan_Kostecka | Photo: Emerald Archives

The Oregon Ducks and the Arizona State Sun Devils on October 29, 2015

When Oregon faces Arizona State this weekend, it will be a battle of two teams with similar skill sets. Both offenses have no problem putting the ball in the end zone, yet struggle to keep their opponents out of it.

The Ducks (2-5, 0-4 Pac-12) are looking to break their five-game losing streak while also getting freshman quarterback Justin Herbert his first career win. Likewise, the Sun Devils (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12) want revenge after losing in heartbreaking fashion to the Ducks in triple overtime last year.

Here’s how the teams stack up.

OREGON OFFENSE: Advantage: Oregon

The Ducks averaged 48.5 points a game in their two wins while putting up 34.6 points a game in the five losses. It’s clear that the offense has struggled lately, but it seems to be back on track after last week’s 49-point performance against California. Herbert threw six touchdown passes to five different receivers in the loss while Tony Brooks-James added 15 carries for 109 yards and a score on the ground.

Royce Freeman is perhaps the offense’s biggest question mark. He entered the season as a legitimate Heisman Trophy candidate but suffered injuries against Nebraska and Washington. Freeman entered the Cal game healthy, yet rushed for 10 yards on 15 carries. Freeman needs to get back on track if Oregon wants a shot at reaching a bowl game. A positive after last week’s three-point loss to Cal was the emergence of Charles Nelson. Nelson caught seven passes for 84 yards and two scores, by far his best output of the season.

DEFENSE:

Defensively, Oregon is among one of the worst units in the nation. It ranks among bottom 10 teams in points allowed (43.3, third form last), rushing yards allowed (248.43, eighth from last), passing yards allowed (290, 10th from last) and total defense (538.6, worst). Still, freshmen Troy Dye and Brendan Schooler have been the bright spots. Dye leads the team in tackles (44), tackles for loss (7.5) and sacks (3). His mark of tackles for loss is the third best mark in the nation among freshmen.

Schooler is second on the team with 40 tackles while leading the Ducks with two interceptions. He has secured the free safety spot and has emerged as one of the leaders on defense.

Arizona State OFFENSE:

The Sun Devils — much like Oregon — have struggled as of late on offense. Arizona State averaged 48.75 points in its 5-0 start, but has averaged 22.75 points in its last four games. Arizona State is led by twoheaded monster Demario Richard and Kalen Ballage on the ground.

Richard is the workhorse, leading the team with 532 yards rushing on 134 carries. Ballage is the power, scoring 10 touchdowns on the season, good for an average of one score every eight carries.

ASU’s quarterback situation is currently in flux as Dillon SterlingCole threw for 86 yards on a 7-for-16 performance last week against Washington State. The receiving corps isn’t an issue for the Sun Devils as the top four receivers average over 10 yards per catch, thus making the quarterback struggles the main reason for concern.

DEFENSE: Advantage: Arizona State

The one thing the Sun Devils do well on defense is putting pressure on the quarterback and playing behind the line of scrimmage. On the year, Arizona State has 61 tackles for loss and 23 sacks — ranking No. 8 and No. 15 nationally. Koron Crump and DJ Calhoun are the anchors for the defense, totaling 17.5 tackles for loss and 12.5 sacks. Crump is tied for third in the nation with eight sacks. Where the Sun Devils struggle most is in passing defense, surrendering a nation’s worst mark of 386.1 yards per game.

GAME PREVIEW

OREGON

PLAYERS to watch

Arizona State

RUNNING BACK #21 ROYCE FREEMAN

RUNNING BACK #7 KALEN BALLAGE

After entering the year with hopes of breaking LaMichael James’ career rushing record, it’s no secret that Freeman has struggled. In six games, Freeman has rushed for over 100 yards in two of the games and scored in just three of them. After last week’s loss to Cal (10 yards on 15 carries), Freeman said he remains healthy.

Before injuries, Freeman was one of the best running backs in the nation. If he returns to his usual dominant self, Oregon will be in much better hands the rest of the year.

Ballage had the game of a lifetime when he scored eight touchdowns, including seven rushing, against Texas Tech in the second game of the year. Since then, opponents have held Ballage scoreless until he found the end zone last week on a 52-yard score against Washington State.

At 6-foot-3 and 230 pounds, Ballage is a load to handle, so his ability to run between tackles and tiring out Oregon’s defense from an incessant pounding will be vital for Arizona State’s success. If Ballage becomes a threat running through the Oregon defense, it should help open up the Sun Devils’ passing game and lead to a balanced attack.

LINEBACKER #18 JIMMIE SWAINE With injuries to Johnny Ragin and AJ Hotchkins, Swain has been called upon to help steady the revolving door of linebackers on Oregon’s defense. Over the past two weeks, Swain has tallied 19 tackles with two passes defended. Against Arizona State and its powerful running game, Swain will be called upon to play a bigger role. He will either have to meet the massive Kalen Ballage at the line of scrimmage or run sideline-to-sideline to keep up with ASU’s Demario Richard. Either way, Swain will be key in Oregon’s attempt to slow down the Sun Devils’ offense and limit the unit to field goals rather than touchdowns.

BY: RYAN KOSTECKA @RYAN_KOSTECKA PHOTO: ADAM EBERHARDT Oregon and Arizona State have a lot to live up to if they hope to top last year’s thrilling 61-55 triple overtime game in Tempe.

Exactly 364 days later, the Ducks and Sun Devils will battle it out again, this time in Eugene. The Ducks are looking to snap their five-game losing streak while Arizona State hopes to end its two-game losing streak.

OREGON OFFENSIVE LINE VS ARIZONA STATE FRONT SEVEN This battle in the trenches will likely be the deciding factor in the game. On one hand, the Oregon offensive line is a young group that has steadily improved throughout the year. The Ducks will go up against one of the best front sevens in the Pac-12 in Arizona State.

With a young quarterback behind him, center Jake Hanson will take on much of the responsibility when it comes to recognizing blitzes and calling out blocking schemes.

Arizona State will try to bottle up Oregon’s running game and pressure Justin Hebert into quick decisions, something he might not be comfortable with. Either way, the physical unit could decide which team ends its losing streak.

Charles Nelson is ‘not at all’ satisfied with his progression so far this season BY: KYLEE O’CONNER @KYLEETHEMIGHTEE PHOTOS : ADAM EBERHARDT Charles Nelson has been one of the highlights of the Oregon football roster since he first joined the team in 2014, but with his more centralized Oregon wide receiver Charles Nelson (6) scores a touchdown to tie the game 42-42. role on offense this season, he hasn’t made all the significant strides many expected.

Last season, he made a transition to the secondary to help Oregon’s struggling defense. He played safety, slot receiver and was the Ducks’ leading kick returner.

Going into this season, Nelson was relieved to be able to dismiss his defensive role and focus only on the offensive side of the ball.

“It’s great on my end because I get to focus on one position and be more comfortable at one position,” Nelson said prior to the 2016 season. “I’m not focused on defense, offense and all this other stuff going on. I get to key in on one thing.”

With all of his focus on offense, this season has the potential to be his breakout year. While Nelson has been the decently productive player that he’s always been, when asked if he is happy with his progression this year, he said, “not at all.”

Early in the season, Nelson was taking nearly all the kickoff and punt return reps, but as of late his special teams role has decreased.

“Charles had some issues with securing the ball early on, of course, and just a lot of factors go into those things,” Oregon special teams coordinator Tom Osborne said.

Health and the number of reps that the athletes take are other factors that go into deciding who takes those returns, Osborne said.

Against Cal, Nelson was

temporarily injured but made his return to the field shortly after.

He averaged 3.83 kickoff returns throughout the first six games and has returned five punts this season, but did not take a single return all game against the Golden Bears.

Despite that brief injury in the third quarter, Nelson ended up having one of his best games of the season. He had seven receptions for 84 yards and two touchdowns. Those were his first two touchdowns of the season, apart from his score on a kickoff return against Washington State.

Although he is an “explosive guy,” Osborne attributes a lot of Nelson’s special teams success to his teammates.

“It means that the other 10 guys are doing a good job of blocking,” Osborne said. “I mean he’s a great player, but like the kick return he had against Washington State, all he did was run down the sideline because they blocked it so good.”

Solely focusing on offense has taken a lot of stress off Nelson’s shoulders and allowed Oregon to utilize him in multiple ways offensively.

“I think [only playing offense has] enabled him to be more confident in certainly offensive production, with how we’ve used him, and also on special teams,” Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich said.

Going forward, Nelson’s offensive speed and agility will be crucial for the Ducks to reach their first Pac-12 win. And with only offense to worry about, he has the potential to be a playmaker that this Oregon offense desperately needs.

WORST DEFENSE IN OREGON HISTORYF BY: KENNY JACOBY @KENNYJACOBY PHOTOS : ADAM EBERHARDT

The same year Nintendo released the N64 and Mark Helfrich earned his bachelor’s degree, the Ducks had their worst-ever defensive season under head coach Mike Bellotti. They allowed an average of 32.4 points per game, which ranked 89th out of 111 teams.

That was the last year the Ducks lost five-straight games — until now.

Oregon’s current season is on a similar trajectory as that of the 1996 Ducks, who won their first three games then lost their next five. They won their final three games to finish 6-5, providing some hope that the 2016 Ducks can turn their season around after a current five-game losing streak.

But that’s wishful thinking. None of Oregon’s remaining five games — at home against Arizona State and Stanford and on the road at USC, Utah and Oregon State — feel as winnable as they once did. The only two teams Oregon has managed to beat this year, UC Davis and Virginia, it paid a combined $900,000 to play; in college football, those paid victories are known as “guarantees.”

Even 20 years ago in Bellotti’s worst defensive season, the Ducks didn’t struggle defensively as much as they do now. As of Friday’s 52-49 double-overtime loss to Cal, Oregon (2-5, 0-4) now owns the worst defense in college football. The Bears racked up 636 yards of offense, which means the Ducks now yield

an average of 538.6 yards per game to opponents; that’s dead last out of 128 FBS Division I teams. Only three teams since 2003 have fared worse.

“We’ve got to keep working on the simple things,” defensive coordinator Brady Hoke said after the Cal loss. “Technique, tackling — all those things.”

Hoke was one of several Ducks who took positives away from the second half of Friday’s game, in which Oregon held Cal to 11 points to force overtime. But freshman linebacker Troy Dye was less optimistic.

“Any loss sucks; it doesn’t matter. Five straight is horrible. We need to come out better as a defense and play four straight quarters instead of two,” Dye said.

“I love the way we finished, but at the end of the day, we can’t expect to win when we gave up 52 points. It’s just that simple.”

The Ducks are as close to rock bottom as they’ve been in decades. What’s more is that fans have been saying that for a month since Oregon fell to Colorado at home, and things have only gotten worse.

That loss on Sept. 24 also marked the last game Oregon forced a turnover other than on downs. A defense that led the FBS in turnover margin (+1.5) just two seasons ago now has gone 196 minutes and 15 seconds since without forcing a fumble or interception, not including overtime. The Ducks have gained only six turnovers all season; only six other teams have gained fewer.

Defensive backs coach John Neal pointed to a lack of playmakers on the defense to explain the turnover drought, which has perplexed him as much as anyone else.

“I have thought about it, and if I have an answer,

“WE’VE GOT TO KEEP WORKING ON THE SIMPLE THINGS ... TECHNIQUE, TACKLING — ALL THOSE THINGS.” - BRADY HOKE, OREGON DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR Oregon defensive back Tyree Robinson (2) tries to tackle Cal wide reciever Vic Wharton III (17).

it’s that playmakers make plays,” Neal said.

“Playmakers on defense are guys who strip balls, who see things. You know, why does Jairus Byrd get 17 interceptions here in his career and becomes an all-pro in the NFL? Because he’s an all-pro-type guy.”

“Don’t think that we haven’t been thinking about it. We try to work on it all the time. We spent two weeks doing strip drills and things like that, and we’re still going to keep doing it.”

Neal has coached defensive secondaries for 34 years, including the last 13 seasons at Oregon. He’s developed seven draft picks over the past eight seasons, including Byrd, who led the NFL with nine interceptions as a rookie in 2009. He knows playmakers, and right now Oregon doesn’t have them.

Head coach Mark Helfrich said applying more pressure on the quarterback will help induce turnovers. Oregon has forced just 10 quarterback hurries on the season, and no single player has accounted for more than two. It could also help explain why opposing quarterbacks have a 142.48 passing efficiency against the Ducks.

Hoke said after the Cal loss that he wanted to get more pressure on quarterback Davis Webb. His goal was to take the inside lanes away and force Webb to bounce to the outside but on several plays Webb eluded the pressure.

“We had a couple opportunities that we let him out of the pocket,” Hoke said. “We can’t do that when we’ve got him lined up.”

The Ducks have surrendered the most touchdowns of any team in the country (41) and the third-most points per game (43.3), largely because opposing offenses have had nearly no trouble scoring against them from inside the red zone. Opponents have come away with points on 37 of 41 trips inside the Ducks’ 20-yard line; Cal scored touchdowns all seven times it got to the red zone on Friday.

Coaches and players generally felt after

the Cal loss that the team’s second-half effort was a step in the right direction, but it’s difficult to evaluate the progress of the defense when it has failed in so many areas.

Oregon this season has allowed opposing teams to convert on 48 percent of third-down and 53.8 percent of fourthdown opportunities. The Ducks have also conceded 212 first downs, the most in the country.

Given the huge number of snaps his defensive players were on the field, Neal said it was “remarkable” they improved as the game went on. They defended more than 60 plays in the first half alone, not counting special teams. Cornerback Tyree Robinson was on the field for 115 snaps over the course of the game.

“I knew it was over 100, but I didn’t know it was 115,” Robinson said, laughing.

“We know it’s always going to be over 100 because we play the most; we’re going to be on the field the longest. Like I said, we’re doing the most.”

Neal felt encouraged by several of his players “because they don’t quit and they play at a high level,” citing Robinson and fellow defensive backs Brenden Schooler, Khalil Oliver and Ugo Amadi as the four standouts against Cal. Each of them wore GPS systems during the game, and Neal said those players’ readings were “off the charts.”

In all team sports, however, players’ individual efforts are only as good as the team’s results, and the Ducks have not gotten the results they desired.

Bellotti’s Ducks missed a bowl game in 1996, but went on to improve their record by one game in each of the next five seasons, leading up to an 11-1 season in 2001, capped by a Fiesta Bowl victory. The Ducks likely won’t make a bowl game this season, but when you’re at the bottom, the only direction you can go is up.

Oregon entered 2016 with high expectations, but with few strong upperclassmen players leading the charge.

When injuries shook up the depth chart, players like Tony Brooks-James, Johnny Mundt and Charles Nelson were forced into more vocal roles to help turn around the program’s worst season since 1996.

“That was one thing going into the season that we knew there was a little bit of a void in some of the leadership roles,” head coach Mark Helfrich said.

“Unfortunately, some of those guys who have been those guys, whether it’s Devon Allen, Dwayne Stanford, Johnny Ragin, some of those guys aren’t in there.

“So that’s where we as coaches and some other voices have to step up and fill those voids.”

With upperclassmen seemingly falling to injuries every week, and the team struggling through a five-game losing streak, strong leadership has become a commodity.

During the past couple weeks, players have criticized each other for a lack of effort. Senior offensive lineman Cameron Hunt told Austin Meek of The Register-Guard after Oregon’s loss to Washington that 30 to 40 percent of players on the team don’t care about winning or losing.

The Oregon football program had strong leaders in past seasons.

Ducks like Marcus Mariota, DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead, to name a few, were always players to watch during moments of struggle.

Oregon has long preached “next man up,” but leadership isn’t as quick to catch on as a play call or scheme.

Junior Charles Nelson stepped up his performance against Cal. He caught seven passes for 84 yards and

two touchdowns. He elevated his game, but has also been trying to get younger players to follow his lead.

“Guys look up to us so we just have to set a good example for them and hopefully they’ll follow,” Nelson said.

“We just have to put our foot forward and get on those guys. Get them to trust the process.”

Coaches have also highlighted redshirt sophomore running back Tony Brooks-James. He carried the Oregon run game against Cal by totaling 109 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries. He was the workhorse for the Ducks and has gained respect from players and coaches.

“I see a guy like Tony [Brooks]James doing what he is doing out there, and the way he is playing right now, not only on offense but on special teams, playing his heart out,” offensive line coach Steve Greatwood said. “I see him stepping up in that capacity.”

Senior tight ends Johnny Mundt and Evan Baylis have returned from injuries, so their presence on the field provides the offense with more maturity and experience.

Some upperclassmen on the team feel it is on them to step up as leaders, but it inevitably falls on every individual player to be accountable.

“I think at the beginning of the year we had a few guys stepping up,” safety Khalil Oliver said. “Now I feel everybody has taken it upon themselves to take accountability for what they’ve done.”

Nelson said at the end of the day, leadership must translate to wins.

“Everybody should be happy because they are here,” Nelson said.

“Everybody should be hungry because we need to be better.”

Oregon prepared for ASU

stealing

play calls BY: GUS MORRIS @JUSTGUSMORRIS PHOTOS : EMERALD ARCHIVES When Oregon visited Arizona State last year, the story of the game was not so much that the Ducks won a triple overtime thriller, but was more so centered around what was transpiring on the Oregon sideline.

The Ducks had heard the rumors that Arizona State had been stealing play calls and signals from Utah the week prior and did not want to fall victim to the same scheme. To counter, Oregon used sheets lined with PVC pipe to shield their signals from view of the Sun Devils’ sideline.

Several days after the game, Arizona State head coach Todd Graham admitted to stealing opponents signs.

“Do we steal signals? Yeah, we do,’’ Graham told the Arizona Republic. “Do people steal our signals? Yeah, [they] do.”

Arizona State is coming to town this weekend and word around the conference is that they are still up to their signal stealing tricks. Just last week, Washington State head coach Mike Leach was fined $10,000 for his comments regarding Arizona State’s practice.

“I think they still steal signs,” Leach said. “We’ll have to keep an eye on that. That’s certainly the reputation, and I think they have technology and expertise on the subject ... Yeah, you’ve got to keep an eye on them. They’ll steal signs, and they’re pretty clever about it.”

Leach would go on to say that they should be investigated by the conference. That comment, and his use of the word “technology” were the main reasons for his fine.

When asked if they will use the sheets again this year against Arizona State, Oregon coaches

were still unsure. Assistant coach Steve Greatwood said that Oregon would “probably do the same thing we did last year” but was not 100 percent certain. Quarterback coach David Yost said that he doesn’t know of anything yet, but head coach Mark Helfrich has thrown some other ideas around.

“He [Helfrich] joked around the other day about using smoke signals, starting a little fire on the sideline,” Leach said at practice on Tuesday. “That was more in jest than anything but we’ll see on Saturday what we do.”

Oregon’s players have other thoughts on the matter.

Sophomore running back Tony Brooks-James thinks that, while it’s like breaking an unwritten rule, if teams can steal signs, then good for them.

“There’s so much going on on the sideline that I get confused sometimes,” Brooks-James said.

“Like, I get confused sometimes and I gotta ask somebody, ‘Hey what was the play?’”

Sophomore safety Khalil Oliver doesn’t think it matters much if teams steal play calls. At the end of the day, you still have to stop the players on the field.

“You may know exactly what the play is but if you have someone in front of you who is going to outwork and beat you then it doesn’t matter if you know it or not,” Oliver said.

Oliver said that he’s not worried about their signs being stolen.

“We’re just worried about playing,” Oliver said. “If that’s what they do, then that’s what they do I guess. But we’re going out there to play a game and we’re gonna go play it the right way.”

DUCKS’ OFFENSE PREPARES FOR ARIZONA STATE’S BLITZING ABILITY

BY: JONATHAN HAWTHORNE @JON_HAWTHORNE PHOTOS: ADAM EBERHARDT Justin Herbert is still acclimating to Pac-12 football, but Saturday will bring a unique challenge.

In playing ASU, the Ducks will have to defend and provide enough coverage for one of the conference’s most frequent blitzing units. ESPN’s Chantel Jennings wrote about the Sun Devils’ attack on Tuesday and the Ducks talked about it after practice.

“They bring it often,” offensive lineman Cameron Hunt said of ASU’s blitz. “Just have a big chance of negative plays, tackles for loss, sacks. But also they give up a lot of big plays.”

Hunt said defending the blitz will play an integral role in Oregon’s offensive game.

“It’s going to be a big key for this week — communication between the offensive line and Justin and making sure we’re on the same page,” Hunt said.

According to ESPN, Oregon’s true freshman quarterback has been blitzed just six times this season on 89 dropbacks. In 2016, the Sun Devils

have blitzed on 22 percent of offensive plays.

Herbert is still looking for his first win in an Oregon uniform since taking over the reigns before the Ducks faced Washington.

Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich said the Ducks will make in-game adjustments to give Herbert enough time to complete passes. “[Arizona State’s] numbers are down a litle bit in terms of volumes of pressures, but still substantially more than anybody we’ve played by double. They had some different approaches to some opponents, but we’ll have to figure out early what their plan is against us and adjust accordingly,” Helfrich said.

Hunt said the Ducks’ spirits have remained upbeat, despite losing five straight games for the first time since 1996.

“I think a lot of guys were really positive and liked the way that guys competed,” Hunt said, “and gave effort on the game and just continue to build off of that.”

The Ducks rallied from 21 points down on the

road at Cal. Led by Herbert, Oregon’s offense came to life in the second half, outscoring the Golden Bears 28-11. Quarterbacks coach David Yost said that remains a positive that the program hopes to build on. Herbert’s ability to throw the ball downfield also encouraged Yost.

“He really did some nice things with the football,” Yost said of Herbert. “Everyone is going to talk about that last throw, but there were a bunch before that he made really nice throws on. There’s still stuff that we can improve on, but I think he showed some really good things.”

Yost said Herbert hasn’t had much exposure to Division I blitzes. He said, however, that the coaching staff will review on tape those times when he has been under pressure.

“We spent a lot of time this week — and we’ll continue — to give him the best plan of action with the O-line to get our five and six on who their six are that are coming so we can get the ball down the field,” Yost said.
