fyi-reg the ore/arizona game
also-arizona wont be flat....this is as sky high as they have been in 8 years and they truly believe that they CAN win out and WILL win out and get to a bowl game.....ore has been dominant at home (vs vastly inferior comp) but they've been struggling lately and getting erratic play at qb, i'd be shocked if arizona gets rolled
UO update: Leading receiver out with injury
Updated: 3:58 PM, Friday, November 17, 2006
Jaison Williams, Oregon?s leading receiver this season, won?t play Saturday against Arizona due to an ailing back.
Williams apparently aggravated what UO coach Mike Bellotti described as ?a chronic condition? in last week?s game at USC, and the pain has persisted. Bellotti said it was questionable whether Williams, who has 62 receptions for 929 yards and six touchdowns, could play next Friday against Oregon State in the finale of the regular season.
?It could be two weeks, it could be six weeks? before Williams is ready for full contact, Bellotti said Friday as the Ducks practiced at Autzen Stadium.
Oregon?s starting receivers against Arizona will be Jordan Kent, Brian Paysinger and Cameron Colvin. With James Finley out with a knee injury suffered two weeks ago, and Garren Strong still hobbled, it could mean a significant increase in playing time for reserves Rory Cavaille, a redshirt freshman, and Ryan Mattice, a sophomore transfer.
Bellotti also said that Ed Dickson, only recently switched back from defense to offense, could play ?as a split end.? Dickson had been a tight end or H-back before his time on defense
