GEOGRAPHY MEETS ELECTRONICS IN NEW UO AREA OF STUDY ➥ ERIC

S C H U C H T, @ E R I C S C H U C H T

Smart phones. Practically everyone has one. It’s because of this that a new tech industry is booming, one which the geography department at the University of Oregon plans to capitalize on. A new major, called “spatial data, science and technology,� is currently under development. It will merge the fields of geography and computer science.

Apps that utilize a map, such as GPS, Google maps or even geo-tracking in Facebook and Twitter posts, all have a hand in spatial science, Amy Lobben, the head of the geography department, said. The field involves mapping out data collected by phones and utilizing them in various ways, such as developing digital maps or defining where certain demographics reside. “I’m not teaching you how to use Google maps; I’m teaching you how to make it,� Lobben said.

The major will be the first ever addition to geography department and will add four new courses on project design, location-aware systems and spatial analysis, Chris Bone, assistant professor at the geography department, said. “We couldn’t just add more courses and accomplish what we wanted to. This is different than a traditional geography degree,“ Bones said.

SDST was designed to be flexible for students who are either coming into the major late as a sophomore or junior, or those looking to double major with computer information science or geography. The major uses courses from both of those majors, Bones said.

“If I was an incoming freshman, I’d probably be doing this instead of geography, Geoffrey Marcus, a geography major at UO, said.

The geography department decided on the development of the new major a year ago after seeing growth in the spatial science industry and popularity among spatial data classes taught at UO, Bones said. The field involves skills currently used in the UO’s infographics lab, the makers of the campus map. “Students get great jobs learning what we’re doing in my lab,� Ken Kato from the infographics lab said.

Bones hopes that the major will not only be marketable to geography majors, but to students beyond campus. “Our ultimate aim isn’t just to attract University of Oregon students to take this major. The ultimate aim is to attract students to the University of Oregon to take this major,� Bones said.

The major and course applications are currently under review by the School of Architecture and Allied Arts, which will send the application back to the department for revision. Once approved, the applications are sent to the state to be reviewed and revised once again before final approval. If everything runs smoothly, students may see this new major as early as fall term 2016, Lobben said. “Why wouldn’t anybody want to do this? It’s not just the present, it’s the future,� Lobben said.

➥ SHELBY

CHAPMAN, @SHELBYM15

Not long after the resurgence of vinyl, cassette tapes might become the next unexpected format revival.

When the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack was released in 2014, it looked like a clash of media. On the inside was a CD, but the cover looked like a Walkman with a faded vintage cassette tape inside, “Awesome Mix No. 1� chicken-scratched on the label in ‘80s mixtape fashion.

For Hollywood Records, this might have been a way to appeal to audiences’ nostalgia. But the music industry is taking it a step further.

Just last week, Urban Outfitters announced its initiative to begin selling cassette tapes and cassette players for the first time, partnering with major bands like Muse, Foals, Halsey and Run the Jewels to release albums on cassette. In recent years, bigname bands like Death Cab for Cutie and Wilco have increasingly opted to publish their albums on cassette tapes, in addition to more standard formats like vinyl and CD. A small cassette tape market is starting up on a national scale, and local cassette connoisseurs are building their vintage collections. Some are skeptical about the future of the trend, but others say cassettes are the new vinyl.

Greg Sutherland, manager of Eugene’s House of Records, is one of those believers. Sutherland started working at the shop in 1986, when records and cassettes were the dominant mediums.

PA G E 6

EMERALD

T H U R S D AY, O C T O B E R 2 2 , 2 0 1 5

Sutherland cited the portability and cost of tapes as compared to other physical forms of music.

Most tapes at House of Records can be purchased for $6 or less, while CDs hover around $15 and LPs go as high as $20 or more. “The portability of cassettes is just undeniable,� said Sutherland. “And they sound better because they’re not all compressed.�

The tedious process of making the perfect mixtape was a predecessor to the modern act of creating playlists through streaming services. This, along with the involved, ceremonious process of listening to tapes, makes them a valuable format for collectors. “Tapes are really warm,� said Hunter Moore, a music collector and former University of Oregon student, who’s been collecting tapes for most of his life. “They don’t have the clarity of a vinyl record or a CD, but they produce a really deep sound.�

The “warm� sound quality that collectors often defend is due to the difference in formatting. “There’s no compression on cassettes or vinyl, but on CDs, in order to get it to fit into the digital numbering system, you have to compress the sound,�

Sutherland said.

Cassette collectors might advocate for medium’s uncompressed analog format, but any cassette produced today is just a digital file put on a tape.

“It’s very likely, given the tools that we use to record today, that the sound was already digitized to begin with,” said Chet Udell, an instructor of music technology at the UO. “So even though you’re listening to something on a cassette tape, or even an LP that’s been released recently, you’re still listening to the sound that was already digitized in a computer.”

With modern audio being mastered on a computer, the “digitization” is fully established during the recording and editing process.

showered in nostalgia all the time,” Moore said. “I mean, you have the popularity of Lana del Rey and Leon Bridges and all of those artists. I think there’s room for format nostalgia as well.”

For musicians, cassette tapes are an affordable and accessible way to get their music out to the public in a cost-effective fashion with a quick turnover rate.

“The biggest perk – as far as the benefits over running a label that focuses on vinyl – is simply cost,” said Josh Finch, founder of Eugenebased label Flossless Audio.

“LISTENING TO MUSIC THROUGH SOME KIND OF ANTIQUATED MEDIUM LIKE A RECORD PLAYER OR A CASSETTE DECK DOES SORT OF PROVIDE A COLOR AND A NUANCE TO THE SOUND.” CHET UDELL, UO instructor of music and technology

“You could transfer to an analog medium but it doesn’t necessarily improve the quality of the sound,” Udell said. “It sort of just adds noise with the extra mechanics.”

As for that warm sound, Udell says a lot of the value might be psychological trickery.

“Listening to music through some kind of antiquated medium like a record player or a cassette deck does sort of provide a color and a nuance to the sound,” Udell said. “But I wouldn’t really call it higher quality. If anything, the quality is somewhat degraded having gone through this extra playback process.”

Technological specifications aside, is there really room for cassettes in a market dominated by vinyl records? For collectors, the answer is yes.

“Everybody’s kind of

But despite the romanticism of mixtape culture and the revival of the cassette tape format, some don’t consider tapes to have the longevity of other forms of music.

Todd Milbourn, a UO professor of business and journalism, as well as an owner of a small tape collection, is one of these critics.

“I think it might just be a sort of a flash-in-the-pan revival, because there just isn’t a big enough scale,” Milbourn said. “There just aren’t enough people doing it, so you can’t take advantage of any sort of network effects.”

Though he considers cassette tapes to be just tokens, and not living things, Milbourn holds on to tapes with sentimental value from his youth.

“I’ve got memories that are looped in there, and those are hard to let go,” said Milbourn.

3 tips to starting your cassette tape collection The Hardware:

Starting your own tape collection can be difficult if you don’t have the means to play the media. Finding a working, reliable cassette tape player can be a difficult task, but Hunter Moore, a veteran of cassette tape collecting, says the best place to start is your local record store.

“A lot of label websites and a lot of record shops around town will have information about where you can pick up a tape player, a Walkman or a boombox,” said Moore. “Record store clerks, pretentious as they can be, are often the most knowledgeable people when it comes to those sort of things. So don’t be scared of your local record store clerk.”

If you can’t find a quality used sound system, Urban Outfitters offers a boombox complete with a cassette player. You can also pick up various new models at Best Buy or Amazon for $30.

The Music:

Tapes might be coming back into vogue, but it can still be difficult to find used cassettes that were well cared for and still sound great. A good place to start is thrift shops around town, but specialty record stores may be your best bet.

“If you’re looking to start a tape collection, support your local businesses,” said Moore. “If you’re in Eugene, go to House of Records, go to Missing Time Records or visit some indie label websites.”

House of Records and Missing Time sell a variety of cassettes at a low cost. You can even find newer releases there, like Awolnation’s latest album Run or Muse’s Drones for less than their CD or LP counterparts.

The Maintenance:

Now that you’ve started your collection, let the good vibes and nostalgia wash over you. But play with caution, because tapes involve careful handling and active listening.

“Tapes are kind of easy to mess up or break,” said Moore. “But as long as you care for the stuff that you buy and like, it’s an inexpensive way to go about collecting. If you didn’t want to hop on the vinyl train, then cassettes are the way to go.”

Congratulations, you’ve started a tape collection. You’re a certified hipster.

A N D C U L T U R E D E When S K listening to ‘For Emma, Forever Ago’

➥ EMERALD Here at the Emerald, we pride ourselves on quality. Our special today: a hand-selected pairing of a musical album and an equivalent beverage to cleanse your palette. For maximum enjoyment, share these pairings with a friend.

The Replacements’ Let It Be + Miller High Life “The Champagne of Beers� is the perfect companion for the champagne of “power trash.�

Known for booze-swindling shows (often fueled by cheap beer), the Replacements reached their apex with 1984’s Let It Be. The anthemic peaks of the album are only strengthened by the emotional disparity, creating one of the finest displays of what rock ‘n’ roll and beer should be about: a carefree good time that can make you forget your pain or serve as a familiar shoulder to cry on when no one is around.

Jens Lekman’s Night Falls Over Kortedala + red wine Jens Lekman’s magnum opus is an album so unsubtle and sentimental it’s joyous in its sadness and heartbreaking in its joy. It can feel like Lekman is hitting you in the face with his feelings. So, what better pairing than the official drink of indulgent sadness?

Creedence Clearwater Revival’s Cosmo’s Factory + White Russian The “Caucasian� and CCR are the twin comforts

by Bon Iver, the Emerald suggests a nice cup of hot tea.

A R T S A N D C U LT U R E

of one of the great film characters of all time: The Dude in The Big Lebowski. If you want to get into the Dude’s mindset, this pairing should do it. Just whatever you do, don’t put on the Eagles.

Harry Nilsson’s Nilsson Schmilsson + piĂąa colada On track seven of Schmilsson, Harry tells a story of a girl, sore with belly pains, who calls her doctor. The doctor calls her “such a silly woman,â€? instructs her to put a lime into a coconut, and ostensibly has his credentials revoked. Relieve your bellyache with a sweet mixture of rum, coconut cream and pineapple juice.

LCD Soundsystem’s 45:33 + Gatorade This creation, commissioned by Nike, is a 45-minute long track from LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, engineered to be an optimal jogging soundtrack. It rewards the listener at regular intervals with jams like the early cut of “Someone Great� off the 2006 album Sound of Silver. Not much more to explain here. Just remember to stay hydrated.

The Avalanches’ Since I Left You + margaritas Since I Left You is the ultimate summer party album, filled with breezy vibes and samples telling you to “get a drink, have a good time now.� Drink some fruity margaritas with your friends and escape to an island paradise with The

Avalanches.

Bon Iver’s For Emma, Forever Ago + hot tea An apt album for cold and rainy days, For Emma, Forever Ago is just begging you to sip a mug of hot tea by the fireplace while you listen to it. Get into the fall mood with some tea and Justin Vernon’s soothing voice and simple acoustics.

Belle and Sebastian’s Write About Love + a mimosa Belle and Sebastian’s style is unmistakably sophisticated. The Scottish baroque-pop band writes songs so sunny and bright that they make the perfect pairing to brunch-time mimosas with good friends.

The Flaming Lips’ Embryonic + a Bloody Mary If there were ever an album that gurgled through the blood, brimstone and other grotesque things that enveloped it, it would be Embryonic. A gorgeously spooky album, this 2009 release predominantly focuses on the epic cosmic finale that awaits us all as the universe swallows itself whole and we’re left floating in whatever’s left. This demented, apocalyptic soundtrack pairs nicely with a Bloody Mary, served in a highball glass (with optional garnishes of human appendages.) Consider it your final drink on this planet.

đ&#x;“Ł OPINION

SCUFFING THE LEGACY OF

JORDANS ➥ KANEEM

THORNTON

On a typical foggy morning in South San Francisco, California, I’m standing in line to buy myself and my high school girlfriend the new Jordan Bred 11 sneakers. I had just won the raffle that would allow me to purchase a pair and I couldn’t be more excited.

Aside from having matching kicks with my lady, I loved the way Jordans made me feel when I wore them: confident, stylish, but most importantly, different.

There is so much hype and excitement over every pair, which is released in limited quantities. People line up across the block and even camp outside the stores for a week before releases; I was never this committed. After spending $360 on two pairs, I carried them out of the store like they were newborn babies.

Putting looks and comfort aside, a main reason why the shoes attracted me as a buyer was because of Jordan’s relevance and influence even in today’s society.

References to him and his legacy are found in many modern day hip-hop songs. The latest includes “Back-toBack� by Drake, which is a reference to Jordan repeating NBA titles in 1996 and 1997. To this day, people still reference famous quotes Jordan once said as a basketball player. My personal favorite is, “I can accept failure, everyone fails at something.

But I can’t accept not trying.�

Ultimately, MJ is still a big deal to our generation, even when he’s not destroying his competition on the court. So when I got in line to buy his shoes, it wasn’t just about his sneakers. It was also about his legacy.

Now that I’ve gotten older, I think more critically about the products I decide to buy. I’m beginning to question why I bought Jordans in the first place.

Sure, he is the greatest basketball player of all time (sorry LeBron James fans) and is a very successful black businessman in America. But what exactly has he done for the mass majority of people of color who buy his shoes? Let’s take a closer look.

As noted earlier, for the majority of releases, people line up around the block and camp out trying to buy the shoes. When this happens, there are many occasions where all hell breaks loose.

Every year, because of the limited quantities, there are riots and fights between people simply

PA G E 1 0

EMERALD

T H U R S D AY, O C T O B E R 2 2 , 2 0 1 5

trying to buy a pair. There are countless videos on YouTube illustrating adults and children, being trampled by others to get into stores. Just last year, a 16-year-old African-American boy was shot and killed over shoes from a highly anticipated Jordan Brand release.

You would think Jordan would have something to say about the violence over his shoes, right? To date, he has not said much. He has yet to issue a public apology to people who have lost loved ones. He has not said anything about working with Nike to reduce the violence over his releases.

Despite the fact that people of color are the majority who support his business, Jordan doesn’t appear to care. People are losing their lives and families are being destroyed, yet he continues to remain silent. It is heartbreaking to see Jordan’s lack

of concern for the lives that are taken because of his product.

You might be asking, “Well isn’t this Nike’s fault, not Michael Jordan’s?� If we look at Jordan’s career, he has made substantially more money off of his brand than he did his entire time as a professional basketball player. At this point, why have more quantities not been produced to reduce the demand? How much more money does he really need?

It’s not a matter of if Michael Jordan can help the issue, it’s a matter of if he wants to. Although I don’t plan to buy any more Jordans, I still have quite few, which I do plan to sell in the future. If you own them, you don’t have to follow suit, but hopefully you’ll think harder about lining up for Jordans in the future.

NOT FINISHED YET THE 2015 DUCKS FOOTBALL SEASON IS OVER HALFWAY FINISHED.

These aren’t the same Ducks as last year.

But (another) victory over Washington gives hope for what’s left of the season and what’s to come next year.

Switching jerseys on the racks was an expected, simple change. A 4-3 record heading into the bye week was an unexpected result.

It’s been a struggle for Oregon to find consistency from a position that Mariota owned for the past three seasons. Oregon, with starter Vernon Adams Jr. — who missed three games this season with a broken index finger on his throwing hand — and backups Jeff Lockie and Taylor Alie, has averaged 218.9 yards passing per game.

Mariota averaged 312.5 yards passing yards per game last season.

In the four games he’s played, Adams is averaging 218.9 passing yards per game, completing 59.4 percent of his passes with six touchdowns and two interceptions.

These struggles should not come as a surprise. In fact, recent history suggests Oregon fans should have seen a season like this coming.

Earlier this month, Fox Sports reporter Bruce Feldman took a look at the last five Heisman-winning quarterbacks and how their respective teams did the next year without them.

Each team finished with an overall record of 8-5. Only one of the teams — the 2009 Oklahoma Sooners, with former Heisman winner Sam Bradford out for the season after a shoulder injury in week one — finished with a

winning conference record.

The Sunday after Oregon’s 45-38 double-overtime loss to Washington State, Register-Guard reporter Ryan Thorburn asked Ducks coach Mark Helfrich about Feldman’s finding.

“I’m never going to think of anything other than what we control, what we can control and what’s next,” Helfrich said. “Whether that’s the next person in at a position or whatever. We expect whoever is in there to be great, to play great and to prepare great. At no point do we ever go, ‘We don’t have A, B or C, so it’s OK,’ that just doesn’t happen.”

Expecting greatness out of every player on the field is a novel idea. But expecting a quarterback to play as well as Mariota did the last three seasons is an ambitious goal.

Now, after a 4-3 start, the expectations for Oregon have hit a reality check. ESPN, in its weekly series “The Eliminator,” removed Oregon from possible playoff consideration just over a week ago. On Tuesday, Sports Illustrated projected Oregon to play against Virginia Tech in the Sun Bowl.

With the Titans jerseys hanging in the Duck Store, there shouldn’t have been expectations for an easy transition into life after Mariota. His career at Oregon isn’t one that could be so easily duplicated, as we’re all witnessing now.

⚑ GAMEDAY

WHO WILL QUARTERBACK THE DUCKS NEXT SEASON? When quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. returned to action against Washington last week, he made plays back-ups Jeff Lockie and Taylor Alie simply weren’t capable of making.

Here’s a look at Oregon’s untested potential quarterbacks next year: Morgan Mahalak: redshirt freshman, 6-foot-3, 205 pounds.

Mahalak is a four-star dual-threat quarterback from the class of 2014. He was a one-year starter in high school, but Oregon saw enough to make him an offer before he started a varsity game. Mahalak redshirted his first season and admittedly struggled with motivation — knowing he wasn’t going to play — and a shoulder injury. 2015 was supposed to be the year Mahalak separated himself in the quarterback competition, which is why many fans scratched their heads when Alie remained ahead of the Elite 11 athlete on the depth chart. During an Oct. 6 press conference, head coach Mark Helfrich said Mahalak was “just not operationally as good” as the other quarterbacks.

Travis Jonsen: freshman, 6-foot-3, 194 pounds.

Rivals considered Jonsen, who changed his name from Travis Waller, the third-best dual-threat quarterback in the 2015 class. A four-star recruit, Jonsen is an accurate passer with above-average arm strength who shows good touch and zip. He has the speed and mobility to elude the rush and extend plays. Although his delivery is a bit unorthodox, he makes up for it with athleticism and has a high ceiling for development.

lthough he has yet to singlehandedly take over a game the way Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota often did, Adams proved to his naysayers that he is the Ducks’ only serviceable option behind center.

To have thought either Lockie, a two-star recruit from Danville, California, or Alie, a walk-on from Sheldon High School in Eugene, had the chops to run the Oregon offense the way Mariota ran it was naïve.

Through seven games, however, it has become blatantly evident that neither can The Emerald is published by Emerald Media Group, Inc., the independent nonprofit media company at the University of Oregon.

be trusted to take the reins at quarterback next year.

This leaves the Ducks in a precarious situation looking forward to the 2016 season. Adams, a graduate transfer, will have exhausted his eligibility. Oregon has two other quarterbacks rostered: Morgan Mahalak, who is running the scout team offense, and Travis Jonsen, who is redshirting due to a season-ending injury.

Following Seth Green’s apparent decommitment from the 2016 recruiting class, Oregon is expecting two new freshmen to join next season’s quarterback competition.

Terry Wilson: incoming freshman, 6-foot-2.5, 187 pounds.

Wilson, a four-star recruit, ran an offense similar to that of the Ducks in high school. He watched the Ducks dismantle Eastern Washington during an official visit, and shortly thereafter, de-committed from Nebraska to commit to Oregon. He’s a poised pocket passer with decent accuracy, excellent arm strength and a quick delivery. Wilson makes smart decisions in the zone-read game, runs north-south and protects the ball well.

Justin Herbert: incoming freshman, 6-foot-5, 215 pounds.

Herbert is an unrated product of Sheldon High School in Eugene. He maintained interest from Helfrich and offensive coordinator Scott Frost despite breaking his femur his junior season, and accepted a scholarship offer earlier this month. He navigates the pocket well and can keep plays alive when it breaks down. He has a quick, over-the-top release, but must improve his mechanics on the whole. He’s not a threat in the running game, nor is he adept at reading progressions.

MID-SEASON REVIEW

đ&#x;“– COVER Vernon Adams (3) makes a throw in the Ducks victory against Washington on Oct. 17.

➥ JUSTIN WISE, @JUSTINFWISE ➥ R YA N K O S T E C K A , @ R YA N _ K O S T E C K A

The words “learning� and “confidence� were used often by Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich while he talked with reporters Tuesday. They are terms that have seemed to define a young group that is still trying to learn and find confidence eight weeks into the season.

The team is coming off a 26-20 win at Washington last Saturday thanks in part to the returns of quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. (injury) and wide receiver Darren Carrington (suspension). But midway through the season one thing is clear: The Ducks aren’t what they used to be. “It’s a different bye week than previous years,�

Helfrich said, referring to Oregon’s strategy behind how they practice and teach this week.

But, the statement also can relate to the obvious: Oregon sits at 4-3 and 2-2 in the Pac-12 with five games remaining on its schedule — a far cry from where the team was positioned at this time in both of Helfrich’s previous years as head coach.

The lack of success can be attributed to multiple areas. An injury to Adams’s right index finger has held him out of three games and the quarterback position became a huge weakness in his absence. In addition, the youth in the secondary is a persisting problem. The two-deep depth chart has featured

PA G E 4

E M E R A L D G A M E D AY

T H U R S D AY, O C T O B E R 2 2 , 2 0 1 5

various individuals as starting defensive backs.

However, the results haven’t changed.

Opposing quarterbacks are averaging over 300 yards passing and guiding their teams to an average of 36 points per game. The Ducks rank last in the conference in both of those categories.

Because of it, criticism has come from every direction. The latest scrutiny came from College Gameday’s Lee Corso, who said Helfrich needs to think about overhauling his coaching staff.

But Helfrich isn’t altering anything. “You can’t drastically change at this point,� he said.

And as for Corso’s comments, Helfrich said, “It’s the nature of the business.� “When you lose, everything is blown out of proportion, and when you win at a program like this, you didn’t do it right. And that’s fine.�

For now, Helfrich and his staff will continue to teach. He hopes that with each passing week, more confidence can be instilled in his players. He’s also trying to help the team overcome all the hyperbole and talk of the world coming to an end.

The road doesn’t get any easier for Oregon either.

The Ducks will go to Arizona State next Thursday and then face Cal, Stanford and USC in November.

DEFENSE

The Ducks so far and going forward:

OFFENSE SPECIAL TEAMS For many years, Oregon’s kicking unit has been one of the worst in the conference. With Aidan Schneider handling the field goal and placekicking duties and Matt Wogan on kickoff, Oregon has arguably the strongest unit in the Pac-12 now. Schneider is 11-for-12 on the season, including being 3-for-3 from 40 yards and a perfect 32-for-32 on PATs. Wogan has attempted 50 kickoffs on the year and 33 of them haven’t been returned.

If the Ducks struggle anywhere on this unit, it’s with punter Ian Wheeler. Although he has improved in recent weeks, Wheeler doesn’t have the booming leg that allows the team to switch fields when stopped on offense.

Addison is the team’s primary punt returner and is averaging 14.2 yards per return on his 10 attempts. He took a punt back 81 yards against Michigan State earlier in the year and presents a threat to do so again every time he touches it.

Nelson and Addison do the kickoff returns and both players average over 21 yards per return. Addison had a season-long 87 yard return last week against Washington.

Adams needs to be healthy if Oregon is going to salvage the rest of the season and turn things around. With Adams in the backfield, Oregon has a consistent threat to throw the ball as well as someone to keep defenses honest. Backups Jeff Lockie and Taylor Alie have proven that, when they’re under center, Oregon’s offense is onedimensional — it becomes strictly a running offense with no real threat at moving the chains when going through the air.

Royce Freeman is enjoying a breakout season, averaging 142.4 rushing yards per game with 11 total touchdowns, including a career-high 246 yards against Washington State. He leads the nation with the most rushes over 10 yards. Freshman Taj Griffin has been an added bonus to the backfield as he brings speed and elusiveness to complement Freeman’s bruising style of running.

The wide receivers got a huge boost when Carrington returned to the offense with five catches for 125 yards and two touchdowns last week. He adds needed depth with the season-ending injury to Byron Marshall and Charles Nelson’s move to safety. Bralon Addison is Oregon’s leading receiver with 31 catches for 365 yards and three touchdowns.

The offensive line has done a good job when Oregon chooses to run the ball as the Ducks lead the Pac-12 with 297.4 rushing yards per game. Pass protection is where the Ducks have struggled as they’ve surrendered 21 sacks on the year.

According to profootballfocus. com, tackle Tyrell Cosby is the best run-blocking tackle in college football.

The Ducks rank last in the Pac-12 in scoring defense, total defense and passing defense.

Youth is one reason why the secondary has struggled. After trying to mix and match, Oregon seems to have found some consistency with Nelson taking over the starting safety spot from Tyree Robinson. Robinson now starts at corner over freshman Ugo Amadi, now the nickel corner, while sophomore Arrion Springs mans the other corner spot. Juwaan Williams is the other starting safety, taking that spot from Reggie Daniels. Robinson and Springs have been the most consistent players for the Ducks while Nelson, at 5-foot-8, brings energy that was missing early in the year.

Starting linebackers Joe Walker, Rodney Hardrick and Tyson Coleman have been consistent on the year. Walker leads the team with 49 tackles and Hardrick ranks second with 42 tackles. Coleman is second on the team with 6.5 tackles for loss. Depth at the position comes from Danny Mattingly, Jimmie Swain and Johnny Ragin, all players who have seen consistent action since the beginning of the year.

The defensive line is led by DeForest Buckner, arguably the best defensive lineman in the nation. Buckner leads the Ducks with nine tackles for loss and five sacks while adding 36 total tackles. This unit is the deepest and best on Oregon’s roster as Alex Balducci is the starting nose tackle with Christian French and Henry Mondeaux splitting time at the other defensive end spot. Torrodney Prevot, Tua Talia and Austin Maloata have all seen significant playing time and help make the Ducks a team that’s three-deep at each spot on the line.

PAC-12 POWER RANKINGS ➡ R YA N Halfway through the Pac-12 season, the conference is littered with teams on the outside looking in. As it stands heading into week eight of the college football season, Stanford and Utah are the the clear frontrunners of their respective divisions.

Here are the conference power rankings at halftime: 1) No. 3 Utah (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12): Devontae Booker is one of the premiere running backs in the nation, averaging 130.5 yards rushing per game. Travis Wilson is a dual-threat quarterback, and freshman Britain Covey has emerged as the top wideout.

Utah’s defense is stout too, limiting opponents to 19.5 points per game and has the top rushing defense in the country.

2) No. 10 Stanford (5-1, 4-0 Pac-12): Running back Christian McCaffrey emerged as a Heisman contender when he rewrote the Stanford record book with 243 yards rushing and four touchdowns against then-No. 18 UCLA on Oct. 15. The Cardinal rely on a powerful running game that controls the clock as well as an opposing defense that plays fast and physical, ranking in the top five of every conference defensive category.

3) No. 20 Cal (5-1, 2-1 Pac-12): The conference’s surprise team is in a position to win the conference outright for the first time since 1958. Jared Goff is arguably the best quarterback in the nation. Cal’s only loss came on its last possession against Utah in Salt Lake City, a game in which Goff threw five

interceptions yet still had his team in position to win.

4) Arizona (5-2, 2-2 Pac-12): Running back Nick Wilson is averaging 113.8 rushing yards per game and has scored eight touchdowns on the year.

Quarterback Anu Solomon has a passing efficiency of 151.0. The Wildcats lead the conference in scoring at 41.7 points per game and has games against USC, Utah and Arizona State to end the year.

5) Oregon (4-3, 2-2 Pac-12): The Ducks are two plays away from being 6-1. The defense has multiple areas with a need for improvement, but progress has been made. With the return of a healthy Vernon Adams Jr. and wide receiver Darren Carrington, Oregon looked rejuvenated last Saturday.

6) Arizona State (4-3, 2-2 Pac-12): The talent is there but the execution was lacking in Arizona State’s three losses. DJ Foster is one of the most versatile players in the conference, but Arizona State has issues getting him the ball. The Sun Devils led Utah by four entering the fourth quarter last week but were unable to finish, the theme of Arizona State’s season.

7) UCLA (4-2, 1-2 Pac-12): Losing Eddie Vanderdoes, Myles Jack and Fabian Moreau all to injuries, the Bruins are giving up 41.3 points per game over their last three. The offense needs to find more consistency from its freshman quarterback Josh Rosen.

8) Washington State (4-2, 2-1 Pac-12): Quarterback Luke Falk is playing at an extremely high level this year, amassing 2,391 yards passing and 21 touchdowns through six games. While the quarterback and receivers remain strong, the cougars’ running game and lackluster defense lets them down.

9) USC (3-3, 1-2 Pac-12): The most disappointing team in the conference has lost three of its last four games and just fired its head coach.

Far and away the most talented team in the conference, the Trojans’ schedule only gets more difficult, with games against Utah and Cal in back-to-back weeks.

10) Washington (3-3, 1-2 Pac-12): The Huskies have a superior defense, ranking first in the Pac-12 in scoring defense. But offense is where the team struggles. Running back Myles Gaskin is the only legitimate threat on that side of the ball.

11) Colorado (3-4, 0-3 Pac-12): The Buffaloes are improving in the Pac-12, giving Oregon and Arizona competitive contests. Wide receivers Shay Fields and Nelson Spruce give Colorado a dynamic duo out wide and that combination could lead to a victory against Oregon State this weekend.

12) Oregon State (2-4, 0-3 Pac-12): The Beavers are amidst a massive overhaul. So while the present may seem like a lost cause, the future is bright going forward with quarterback Seth Collins. Collins, a freshman, averages 135.5 yards passing and 81.0 yards rushing per game.
