ast year's Sun Belt Player of the Year led the Red Wolves to a 10-3 record and a bowl-game loss to Northern Illinois. But Aplin's stellar production in 2011 — more than 3,500 yards and 19 touchdowns — was marred by 16 interceptions. While the fifth-year senior has promised to cut down on forced throws, he'll take the helm of new head coach Gus Malzahn's faster-paced offense behind three first-year starters on the offensive line. How he fares will likely dictate the course and pace of the game. ¶ Meanwhile, Boyett returns as the Ducks' leading tackler from 2011, fresh off tying a Rose Bowl record with 17 tackles against Wisconsin. Chip Kelly's "quarterback of the defense" will hold down a secondary that lost linebacker-turnedsafety Eddie Pleasant and cornerback Anthony Gildon. Aplin will likely test Pleasant's replacement at rover, Brian Jackson, so Boyett will be responsible for any necessary adjustments over the middle.

f season preview Bennett's decision to stay crucial to maintaining Ducks' depth

rama swirled around practice early this week as players and fans waited to see if sophomore Bryan Bennett would remain a Duck. Since losing the starting quarterback job to redshirt freshman Marcus Mariota, the Encino, Calif., native said he “needed some time to just clear my mind.” ¶ After meeting with head coach Chip Kelly and missing a day of practice, Bennett ended speculation Tuesday by deciding to stay in Oregon. ¶ Since the Kelly era began, no Oregon starting quarterback has made it through a full year without missing time due to injury. Wide receiver Josh Huff vocalized what many were thinking Wednesday: “Who’s to say — God forbid — that Marcus did get hurt? We have no experienced quarterbacks behind Marcus.” Bennett staying gives the Ducks depth and another confident leader in the locker room to ease any of Mariota’s early growing pains. Plus, if Oregon racks up big leads on this year’s nonconference opponents, Bennett should get a majority of the garbage minutes. That's not what Bennett came to Oregon to do, but if he's as committed to helping the team as he says he is, that shouldn't be a problem. — M at t Wa l k s , @ m g wa l ks

Nov. 3 showdown with Oregon could decide both teams' fates.

he offseason has been a collection of shadows for Oregon. Mystery clouded who would be the team’s lead signal-caller until a week before the first kickoff. The depth chart had been covered by a blanket of secrecy and closed practices. The rumor of an NCAA thunderstorm of punishment raining on the Ducks for a bevy of murky allegations regarding recruiting violations still lurks. But quite possibly the most important darkness is the return of the USC Trojans from the shadows of NCAA sanctions. After seven consecutive top-four AP Poll finishes from 2002 to 2008, the Trojans suffered two uncharacteristic seasons of mediocrity and a two-year bowl ban. But a stacked

USC quarterback Matt Barkley is an early Heisman favorite — and may have the final say in Oregon's postseason plans.

Trojan offense led by Heisman candidate Matt Barkley racks up more yards and touchdowns than their back-to-back national champion squads and looks to be the Oregon’s biggest challenge, possibly meeting the Ducks twice. Nov. 3 — a Saturday that features the Ducks against the Trojans as well as Alabama against LSU — is sure to bring to light as to who will contend for the BCS National Championship. As for getting that far, the No. 5 Ducks are expected to stroll through a preconference lineup of Arkansas State, Fresno State and Tennessee Tech, all at home. Next up are five conference opponents, three of which feature new head coaches, sandwiched around a

bye week in the middle of October. If the Ducks make it to this point unbeaten, their showdown with USC — also favored to be unbeaten — will not only have Pac-12 championship implications but BCS consequences as well. Following the clash in L.A. comes a challenging but likely winnable stretch against Cal, Stanford and Oregon State, with Cal and OSU on the road. If Oregon makes it to this point with two or fewer losses, the probability for a rematch with the Trojans is high. The winner of that game would be the Pac-12’s nominee for the Rose Bowl — and potentially a BCS Championship. by jackson long

ou’re in line for a promotion. ¶ It’s a real high-

profile, punishing job as the face of an organization with national influence and interest. Oh, and the turnover rate’s pretty high. Also, I forgot to mention — the guy you’re replacing? He did the job better than anyone in the company’s 120-year history. You would feel a little pressure, wouldn’t you? Not Kenjon Barner. Fresh to the top of the depth chart, the Ducks’ starting running back admits the bar is set high after his predecessor LaMichael James led Oregon to a Rose Bowl win last year but says pressure doesn’t belong on the football field. “To me, pressure is those men and women in the military service where they have to defuse a bomb,” Barner said after practice this week. “Or they’re going into an area full of hostiles. That’s pressure. Pressure is not going on the field, running the ball, making plays. That’s having fun, doing what you love to do. So to say I feel pressure? Not even close to it.” The senior from Riverside, Calif., pitched another definition on Twitter just a week earlier, telling a friend, “Pressure is what you feel when you don’t know what your doing.” And Barner knows what he’s doing. Barner’s confidence in himself is reflected in everything from his neon headbands to the orange and black Camaro he drives. He’s always been confident — growing up within his well-publicized expansive and supportive family full of older siblings

p h o t og r ap h b y a l e x m c d o u g a l l , @ a d o u ga l l

demanded him to be tough and believe in himself. Now, it’s a quality he deems indispensable. “My confidence helps me out everywhere,” said Barner, adjusting the omnipresent headband and running a hand through the mohawk that makes him look taller than his listed 5 feet, 11 inches. “You can’t expect yourself to make plays if you’re not confident. You can’t expect your team to have confidence in you if you’re not confident in yourself. Confidence helps everywhere.” His faith is two pronged, both in himself and in God. Good luck reading them with how fast he hits the hole, but Barner writes on his cleats. Next to the first names of Oregon’s running backs reads “In God I Trust.” The third word is almost as telling as the second, but after rereading Proverbs this month, his favorite verse is a modest one — Proverbs 3: 5-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. “God is what got me here,” Barner said. But it’s been a winding path. Long in the shadow of best friend James, Barner’s endured a pair of roller-coaster seasons that saw painful lows, including a scary concussion against Washington State, and inspiring highs. Even last year, as James’s backup, he wasn’t the second most talked-about running back after freshman phenom De’anthony Thomas burst onto the scene — which Barner says didn’t bother him. In fact, Barner has been content to let Darron Thomas or James shoulder the load of The Guy, preferring to lend his talents to on-field prayers and post-game victory chants. He’s the first to agree with running backs coach Gary Campbell that he shied away from a leadership role last year, something that’s changed as he’s developed. “He has matured,” Campbell said. “He’s taken over that responsibility of leadership, and I think in the past, like last year, he didn’t really care for that role. … He’s really embraced that role as one of the leaders.” His maturation will be vital for a team replacing its

field general, especially one with the consistent calming presence of Darron Thomas last year. But like everything else he does, Barner will lead in his own way. As recently crowned Ducks starting quarterback Marcus Mariota prepared for Fan Day this year, he found a media throng waiting for him bigger than any he’s seen since the spring game. As the cameras closed in, Barner cracked a smile and joined in, raising his hand to his new signal caller as a mock journalist. As Mariota grew more comfortable and refused to look him in the eye, Barner laughed and backed off, his support given. “He’s avoiding me.” Against those who can’t avoid him, Barner needs just 144 yards on the ground to top 2,000 in his career. A season comparable to James’ junior campaign (a tall order, for sure) would put him near the top of Oregon career lists, next to James, Derek Loville and Jonathan Stewart. Campbell thinks he can do it. “I’ve seen a lot of great backs, and … he’s obviously amongst those better guys who have been here,” Campbell said. “He’s gotta have a great season, I think, to be mentioned amongst the top ones, but he’s certainly capable of doing that.” In addition to his emotional maturation, Barner spent much of the offseason toughening up to take the pounding of a starting back, something for which Campbell also commended him. “He has, in the past, come back and not that he’s been in bad shape, but he hasn’t been in the best shape,” Campbell said. “I think he’s in the best condition of his career now. He had a few dings that he’s come back from, which ordinarily I don’t know if he would have come back from in the past as quickly.” Barner was coy about his personal goals this season, saying he has them written down and kept safe in his backpack but doesn’t want to share them just yet. But Barner’s always been bold enough to be what he wants to be, and if being The Guy for Oregon is somewhere on that list, his supporters have nothing to worry about. b y m at t wa l k s , @ m g wa l ks

facing an old foe: gus malzahn by jackson long

h live coverage

Six yards became 37, and a tie ball game turned to heartbreak. That was the scenario when then-Auburn tailback Michael Dyer — who now plays for the Arkansas State Red Wolves — took a handoff from his own 40-yard line with just over two minutes left in the 2011 BCS National Championship Game. Dyer was seemingly corralled by Oregon safety Eddie Pleasant, but his knee never hit the ground, and he ended at the Oregon 23-yard line to set up Auburn’s title-winning field goal with no time remaining. Dyer was released by Auburn due to team violations and joined Arkansas State — setting himself up for a potential rematch with the Ducks. But, after a debacle with NCAA transfer rules, he was caught speeding in addition to being found with a bag of marijuana and a gun in his car, and he was booted off his second college team, canceling the second go-round. But not all Auburn/Oregon rematchs were nixed, as former Auburn offensive coordinator

We’ll be covering the game live on DailyEmerald.com. You can also follow @odesports for more coverage.

Gus Malzahn, the man who called the play on which Dyer dashed Oregon’s dreams, is now the head coach at Arkansas State. Malzahn’s first game as head coach will be against Oregon, but this time the odds are stacked against him. However, Malzahn has a few things going for him. He is hailed as an offensive genius and has a squad of players that has a 20-4 record in the past two seasons in the Sun Belt Conference. His real boon is back-to-back Sun Belt Conference Player of the Year and fifth-year senior Ryan Aplin, a dual threat who threw for nearly 3,600 yards last season, while gaining almost 600 yards on the ground with 29 total touchdowns. Aplin can be careless with the ball, however, tossing 16 picks in 13 games — including three in the Red Wolves’ season-ending loss to Northern Illinois in the GoDaddy.com Bowl.

BAG IN THE SEASON'S FIRST WEEKS. And

they'd like nothing more than to quiet the loudest stadium in the country. Each week during football season we will feature an essay from the opponent’s student newspaper on exactly how badly Oregon will lose. This week’s edition is by Zach Lott from Arkansas State’s The Herald. You guys must really hate USC. Finally bowl-eligible again and – BAM! – they’re right back to being media darlings. Ranked first overall in the AP and USA Today polls? Check. Absurd hype from ESPN about potentially being the best offense ever? Check. Romantic comparisons to the Pete Carroll days? Check. At least Lane Kiffin’s presence should keep the NCAA investigators occupied. But you’ve got more important things to worry about. Allow me to reintroduce you to your worst nightmare: Gus Malzahn. That’s right – he’s back. He may not have Cam Newton or, ahem, Michael Dyer, but I’m confident in my assertion that, come Saturday, the Oregon Ducks (Accelleratii incredibus) don’t have a prayer of besting the Arkansas State Red Wolves (Carnivorous vulgaris). Beyond Malzahn’s obvious familiarity with Nick Aliotti’s defense and Chip Kelly’s ludicrous-speed offense is the fact that we’re getting pretty good at this no-huddle thing ourselves. Former A-State head coach Hugh Freeze’s offense is a kissing cousin of Malzahn’s, except now we have the real thing. By now, I’m sure our

defense is accustomed to the fine art of flopping around to catch their breath. But let’s make no mistake – this is a money game. We’re used to being sacrificed to the football gods so the athletic department can stay afloat a little bit longer, but the thing that works most in our favor is the fact that the media has been yammering for months about how easy Oregon’s schedule is. When people start telling you that there’s no chance you can lose to a team like Arkansas State, you start to believe it. Next thing you know, Ryan Aplin is obliterating your secondary because your defense is too busy dreaming about squeezing the life from Matt Barkley’s pretty little blonde head. I imagine Oregon will jump out to an early lead before Marcus Mariota temporarily forgets he’s playing an actual FBS opponent and chucks the ball into blanket coverage for a pick-6. From there, los Lobos Rojas will demolish, bludgeon and annihilate the Ducks en route to a 45-17 victory. Barack Obama will edge Mitt Romney in November when a furious write-in campaign causes Malzahn to split the vote and allows the president to capture Arkansas’ six electoral votes. A statue of Malzahn’s visor will erected outside the student union. And then those losers in Fayetteville will snatch Malzahn up and return us to the dark ages. Such is life. b y z a c h l o t t, t h e h e r a l d
