Ducks Attack Message Board Forum

DEFENSIVE PLAYER ON THE SPOT: Oregon E Will Tukuafu. He must become the leader of the Ducks' pass rush - and must prove he can be effective without Nick Reed on the other side. The pass rush has been one of the strong points of Oregon's defense the past two seasons. Tukuafu's play largely will determine if it remains strong.

BEST DEFENSIVE NEWCOMER: Oregon LB Bryson Littlejohn. Littlejohn, a junior college All-American, made a big impression in Oregon's spring practices. Expect him to make a similar one this fall. The Ducks need an impact player to bolster the pass rush, and Littlejohn had nine sacks last season at Sierra College in Rocklin, Calif.

BREAKOUT OFFENSIVE STAR: Oregon State WR Darrell Catchings. Look for him to re-emerge as a deep threat for the Beavers. As a true freshman in '07, he had 33 catches while filling in for an injured Sammie Stroughter. With Stroughter back in the lineup last season, Catchings' catches dwindled to seven. Now that Stroughter has left for the NFL, Catchings will take over at split end again and should be the Beavers' go-to guy.
