College Football:  

Ducks coach Dan Lanning said at yesterday’s media availability that he thinks Running Back Noah Whittington is done for the season. The junior suffered a leg injury during the Colorado game. Coach Lanning believes they have enough depth at running back to overcome Whittington’s absence.  Number 8 Oregon is preparing for number 7 Washington next Saturday the 14th in Seattle. Lanning also said several coaches would be making recruiting trips Thursday and Friday.

Oregon State will look for more balance on offense as its rushing game has been consistent but QB D.J. Uiagalelei has regressed a little in the last two games. The 4 and 1 Beavers are back on the road at Cal Saturday night against a Bears team coming off a surprise win over Arizona State. Cal Coach Justin Wilcox isn’t yet announcing which quarterback will start.
