Scout had a piece, but it's only for insiders. Pretty much the same stuff: Holland is looking great. Masoli is still shaky. And Alston has been impressive this week.

I believe Alston will be big for us in '09

Its starting to look that way. I am ashamed to admit it cause he has been here for a couple years but, I don't know anything about him.
what is his size?
does anyone know his 40 time?
does he have that break away speed,whats the deal with this kid?

I was at some of the fall practices and scrimmages during Alston's first year at Oregon. Out of all the RB's those days, Alston stood out for his shiftiness and ability to run in the hole. I don't think he has breakaway speed, but he is strong and sees the hole relatively well. If he is truly over his injury from last year, he'll get quite a few yards for us this year. I've always liked how he runs. He's also not affraid to smash head-on into defenders at the point of contact, which I also like.

here's a video of a long run by Alston
