The sport of football has,
undoubtedly, always been a
physical game. Due to medical
studies done on former football
players who have suffered head
injuries and the impact it has on
players’ lives off the field, player
safety has been making headlines
for a long time.
Following the NFL’s
$765 million settlement
with ex-players who have
experienced brain injuries
and encouragement for youth
football for coaches to become
Heads Up certified, steps and
rules have been implemented
with the hopes that life-altering
head injuries will be minimized
in the future.
The NCAA’s new rule on
targeting, which was put into
effect to prevent head injuries
in football, made waves in the
opening week of the 2013 season.
The rule prohibits players
from targeting opponents or
initiating contact with the crown
of their helmets.Players are also
prohibited from initiating contact
with the heads or necks of a
defenseless opponent. Players
penalized for targeting are
ejected from the game.

The Ducks experienced the
implications of the new rule
firsthand against Nicholls State.
In a game where Oregon gave
up only three points, one of the
biggest stories from that day
was the ejection of cornerback
Terrance Mitchell.
With only a minute left in the
first quarter, Mitchell had a brutal
hit on Colonels quarterback
Beaux Hebert, which resulted
in Hebert never returning to the
field and later being diagnosed
with a concussion.
Mitchell was not the only Pac12 player ejected for targeting
that weekend. In Cal’s 44-30
loss to Northwestern in, Golden
Bears defensive end Chris
McCain was removed from the
game after his hit on Wildcat
quarterback Trevor Siemian.
However, the call was later
reversed because of a failure
in the instant replay process
during the game.
“From my understanding,
the foul itself is not reviewable.
The ejection is reviewable and
the criteria to eject is the part
where there is a little bit of a
gray area,” Oregon head coach
Mark Helfrich said during a press
conference after the 66-3 win
over the Colonels.

ducks vs. cavaliers:
how do they stack up?
After fending off the Brigham Young
University Cougars in a tight 19-6
win last week, the Virginia Cavaliers
will host the Oregon Ducks in their
first ever meeting on Saturday
in Charlottesville, Va. The Ducks
are coming off a 66-3 thrashing
of Nicholls State in their season
opener and look to advance past the
Cavaliers to a 2-0 record. Saturday
will mark Oregon’s first regular
season game against an ACC team.
Virginia is unfamiliar with the Pac12, having played teams from the
conference three times in school
history. Here’s how the two teams
stack up.
Offense
Oregon: The Ducks set a school record in their
win against Nicholls State with 772 total yards on
offense, helping them breeze by the Colonels 663. Quarterback Marcus Mariota totaled 347 yards
and found the end zone three times. De’Anthony
Thomas and Byron Marshall combined to account
for more than half of Oregon’s 500 rushing
yards, another gaudy statistic that encompasses
Oregon’s historically impressive offense.
Offensive weapons Josh Huff, Bralon Addison and
Colt Lyerla will also give Virginia fits on Saturday.
Virginia: Sophomore quarterback David Watford
won the starting job during training camp
and completed 18 of 32 passes for 114 yards in
Virginia’s week one win over BYU. The Cavaliers
return their leading rusher from a season ago in
junior Kevin Parks, who has rushed for more than
700 yards each of the past two seasons. Parks is
a power runner with strong legs, checking in at
five feet eight inches tall. Virginia also returns last
season’s leading receiver, junior Darius Jennings
as well as senior offensive tackle Morgan Moses
who was named to ESPN’s ACC pre-season allconference team. Virginia scored 22.8 points per
game last season.

State on Aug. 31.
Defense
Oregon: Oregon’s defense has a wealth of depth,
returning seven starters from last season. Brian
Jackson and Avery Patterson anchor a strong
secondary, which also includes preseason AllAmerican Ifo Ekpre-Olomu. The Ducks defense
forced 25 interceptions and 27 fumbles last
season. They play with speed and aggression
and constantly rotate players, mixing up blitz
packages and keeping fresh legs in the game.
Virginia: The Cavaliers’ specialty is stopping the
run — their defense allowed less than four yards
per carry last season. They were also stingy
through the air, holding opponents to 208 passing
yards per game, but forced only four picks all
season. Virginia returns nearly its entire starting
defensive line, the biggest loss being Chris
Brathwaite, who led the team in sacks in 2012. The
Cavaliers have adequate size on defense, but lack
the speed to keep up with Oregon’s offense.
Special Teams
Oregon: The place kicker position is still up in the
air — both Alejandro Maldonado and Matt Wogan
saw time against Nicholls State. Maldonado
connected on Oregon’s lone field goal attempt and
converted six extra points, while Wogan made
three. Thomas and Keanon Lowe are both threats
to return kickoffs to the house, and Addison is
deceptively quick on punt returns. The departure
of Jackson Rice leaves the Ducks without a true
punter on the roster. Maldonado is listed as the
punter and punted three times in 2010 for an
average of 36 yards.
Virginia: Freshman Taquan Mizzell was Virginia’s
best off-season signing and will return kicks along
with Khalek Shepherd, who averages 22.6 yards
per kick return for his career. Sophomore Ian
Frye is on place kicking duty and connected on
a 53-yarder against BYU, crushing his previous
career-best of 30 yards. Frye is four for six career
in field goal attempts.

this an Oregon victory back in
January, when the two schools
home agreement. They’ll tell
you these effete merchants
with their flashy ESPN suits
and West Coast biases, the
Cavaliers are the lame ducks in
this game. On paper.
Well, guess what? The last time I
checked, the Scott Stadium field consists
of good old-fashioned American grass,
not paper. And when Virginia takes
that field before a rabid, faithful band
of supporters on Saturday, something
tells me the pigskin divinities won’t be
rewarding the team with the most talent
or the fanciest uniforms.
They, at least, won’t be underestimating
the heart of a champion.
Go ahead. Call me a quack. Tell me I
belong in the Autzen Zoo, whatever that
is. Tell me it’s not the size of the dog in
the fight, but how much money Phil
Knight pays the dog that determines a
winner. But maybe it was the way I was
raised, far from you West Coast surfer
dudes and dudettes with your bleach
blonde hair and Snoop Dogg songs and
environmental concern, but something
tells me the tiny, humble little college that
could — Thomas Jefferson’s University —
is going to grind out a victory.
I do mean “grind” out a victory. Don’t
expect your typical, dainty Oregon track
meet Saturday morning, with players
prancing around contact and making
cute little “O” shapes with their gloves.
Th u r s d ay, S e p t e m b e r 5 , 2 0 1 3
WHILE OREGON HOSTS
FASHION SHOWS FOR
THEIR GROTESQUE
COSTUMES AND PAYS
RECRUITS MILLIONS
OF DOLLARS ... THE
CAVALIERS BRING
THEIR HARD HATS
AND LUNCH-PAILS TO
PRACTICE EVERY DAY.
Coach Mike London’s revamped staff,
featuring offensive coordinator Steve
Fairchild (who calls football plays, not
wind sprints) and defensive coordinator
Jon Tenuta (the man Rex and Rob Ryan
wish they could be), has helped Virginia
embrace smash-mouth, traditional
American football. It’s the way the best
conference in all of sports, the SEC, does
things: the right way.
Besides, we possess our fair share of
talent, as well. Defensive end Eli Harold,
who tallied 11 tackles and 2 sacks in last
weekend’s epic 19-16 comeback against
Brigham Young, will be introducing
himself to Marcus Mariota in the
backfield this weekend. Safety Anthony
Harris earned the Walter Camp Defensive
Player of the Week for his epic week one
showing. And running back Kevin Parks,
an epic Ray Rice facsimile, should gouge
your 3-3-5 or 1-9-1 or whatever heretical
defense Mark Helfrich has the University
of Nike deploying these days.
Needless to say, Mariota will need
to curtail all those wobbly ducks he
tossed against mighty Nicholls State last
weekend. The Black Mamba? We might
need to deem him The Earthworm after
we’re through with him.
Weighing more heavily than our
talent level or exotic Tenuta-devised
blitzing schemes — at least for this
humble observer — are the old verities
which have always and will always
ensure triumph: truth, honor, justice and
humility. Think on that last one, if you
will. While Oregon hosts fashion shows
for their grotesque costumes and pays
recruits millions of dollars (oh yeah, I
know all about your little scandal), the
Cavaliers bring their hardhats and lunchpails to practice every day. Our mentality
exudes Jeffersonian values; yours is the
kind of thinking that encouraged Miley
Cyrus to tarnish American society.
You tell me. Who sounds like the real
winner here?
As Calvin Coolidge famously remarked,
nothing in the world is more common
than unsuccessful men with talent.
The “Duck Dynasty” has been amusing,
admittedly, but true success has eluded
it, with Oregon ultimately flailing around
before the might of the SEC in January
2011. In the end, Saturday will showcase
two 1-0 teams, each playing on the same
120 by 53.3 yard field. The point spread
exceeds 20, but the scoreboard I care
about still shows 0-0. One team is trying
too hard to be cool, like it’s on an Aflac
commercial; the other just wants to play
football.
So I know who the real sitting duck
is here. Football, like life, is about the
finding the inches we need all around us.
We here in Charlottesville fight for those
inches, those six inches in front of our
faces. For me, this matters far more than
anything else in evaluating this game —
especially petty minutiae such as facts,
cogent reasoning and competent writing
ability.

David Watford wasn’t alWAYS FIRST PICK FOR QB. The
road
to becoming a first string QB was anything but traditional.
After red shirting sophomore year, Watford explains why
he’s ready for the job.
F
or Virginia
quarterback
David Watford,
the road to becoming the
Cavaliers’ quarterback
has been anything but
conventional.
A three-star recruit out of
Hampton High school, Watford
signed on with Virginia prior to
the 2011 season. The dual-threat
QB appeared in 10 games as a
true freshman and threw for 346
yards and three touchdowns. As
a sophomore, Watford would
have a chance to compete for
the starting job with incumbent
starter Michael Rocco until the
Cavaliers landed Alabama transfer
Phillip Sims
As a result, Watford was asked
to redshirt during the first week of
training camp by head coach Mike
London. Rocco and Sims shared
time at quarterback during the
2012 season while Watford was
on scout team duty, waiting out
his chance to get another shot.
With Rocco a junior and Sims a
sophomore, Watford would have
to work hard to get to the top.
A year later, after a couple of
balls bounced his way, Watford
finds himself at the top of
Virginia’s depth chart. Rocco
transferred to Richmond where
he’ll play his final season, and
Sims was ruled academically
ineligible, ultimately transferring
to Winston-Salem State. One
week into his first season as
starting signal caller, Watford
says redshirting ended up being a
valuable experience.
“I got to play as a true freshman,
which was a great experience
and I was able to learn a lot. But I
feel like I was able to learn more
[from] redshirting and being put
in that situation because it taught
me who I was as a man and as a
football player, and it helped me
just grow with my guys and the
game of football,” Watford said
during a teleconference. “My
work ethic, just how hard I work
and how hard I push, I feel like it
just made me better overall. I’m
thankful I got that opportunity.”
Watford led the Cavaliers to
a win against Brigham Young
University to start the season,
completing 18 of 32 passes for
114 yards with one score and one
interception against a perennially
talented Cougars defense.
Regarding Virginia’s upcoming
home game against secondranked Oregon, Watford
recognizes the Ducks’ talented
and underrated defense and the
challenges he and the rest of the
offense will face.
“They have a very good
defense,” Watford said. “They
have a great secondary, they
have a great linebacking corps.
Overall that defense is one of
the best defenses in the nation.
[They] don’t get as much credit as
I think they should because the
offense kind of overshadows the
defense, but their defense does a
hell of a job out there. They put
the offenses that they face in a
tough situation … they get after the
quarterback with a lot of exotic
blitzes and schemes and it’s gonna
be a tough challenge.”
Saturday’s meeting in
Charlottesville will be the first
for the two schools, with Oregon
favored to win by 23.5 points
according to Las Vegas odds.

De’Anthony Thomas started at
running back, but Thomas Tyner and
Byron Marshall will also contend for
yards in the coming weeks.

who will get the most yards?
The Ducks made history in more
than one way this past Saturday
when three different players rushed
for more than 100 yards, totaling
for a team best of 772. But the stat
lines that drew the most attention
weren’t the ones listed above. It
was the career high 18 carries that
De’Anthony Thomas recorded in the
season opener against Nicholls State.

“I’d like to think that I’m going to keep him
(Thomas) under 20 carries just because I want to
keep him healthy. But again, sometimes you get
into the flow of the game and it’s hard to count
reps,” running backs coach Gary Campbell said.
While Thomas was listed as the starting
running back heading into the game, the amount
of touches he received will be worth noting
moving forward. Even the Ducks didn’t have a set
plan heading into the game in regard to how the
touches would be distributed in the backfield.
‘There was no plan for [Thomas] to get the
most carries,” Campbell said. “I was just going to
alternate the guys in as I saw fit, but sometimes
when you get a flow going, you keep that drive
going. Sometimes you put a guy in and you want
b y h ay d e n k i m , @ h ay d ay k i m
him to get a lot of reps and all of a sudden, the
drive ends.”
With no set blueprint for the Ducks at running
back, the stat line could vary from game-to-game
between Thomas and Byron Marshall.
What makes this situation unique is that
Marshall — who was listed as the No. 2 running
back — managed to rush for 124 yards on only
eight carries. There was heavy anticipation
that Marshall would see significant time in the
backfield, using Thomas more at the usual slot
position. But that wasn’t the case in week one of
play.
“It’s going to fluctuate from game to game,”
Campbell said in regard to Marshall’s touches
against the Colonels. “If we get on a drive and
Byron’s in there and we’re moving the ball; if we
get on a 15-play drive, he could be in there for
all 15 plays as long as I think that he’s holding
“if i can get three guys to
rush for 100 yards, that
would be fine with me.”
Running backs coach Gary Campbell on Tyner, Marshall
and Thomas.
Oregon’s De’Anthony

Tyler during a run in

the season opener at
Autzen Stadium on
Aug. 31.
up physically and he’s holding up as far as his
stamina is concerned.”
Aside from two long-distance Marshall
touchdown runs in the second half — one
coming from 47 yards and the other from 49 —
Thomas was the one getting the touches while
his counterpart took full advantage of minimal
opportunities. But Marshall fully understands
that his number one responsibility to the team is
to be ready whenever he’s up, not worrying about
how many reps he gets in a particular game.
“I don’t choose how many reps I get or how
much playing time I get,” Marshall said. “I’m just
waiting for my number to be called and when it’s
called, I’m just going to go to work.”
The discussion of the Oregon backfield was
initially brought up at the Pac-12 media day when
head coach Mark Helfrich acknowledged that
both he and Thomas mutually felt that Thomas
served the team well as a multi-tool player.
In regard to continuing Thomas at the feature
back role, both Campbell and Marshall agreed
that he’s more than capable of carrying that load.
“De’Anthony is a running back,” Marshall said.
“He’s not a slot receiver and he’s not a receiver
either. With that said, he stepped into that new
role for this game and he handled it well.”
“I don’t think anything has changed as far as
what we want to do,” Campbell said. “We want
to let him (Thomas) do both and obviously in
the game on Saturday he was having a good day
running the football, so we let him run with it.
We’re still going to put him out and do things
that we did with him last year, but that was an
opportunity for him to get some carries in the
backfield.”
The bottom line is that the Ducks are loaded at
the running backs position and it is now merely a
question of which back will be featured on what
day. Sure, Thomas was the first among the backs
to have career day on the ground, but who says
that won’t be the case for Marshall and Tyner in
future games?
The amount of touches will be dependent on
the opponent and the game. The Ducks may have
traditionally featured two main backs in the past,
but this could be the year that the Ducks revive
the 1-2-3 punch that was first present in Kenjon
Barner, LaMichael James and Thomas three years
ago.
“We had three 100-yard rushers, what about
a 1-2-3 punch,” Campbell said in response to
labeling Thomas and Marshall the next “If I can
get three guys to rush for 100 yards, that would
be fine with me.”

In our simulated game, Oregon
defeated the Cavaliers 42-17 to
improve to 2-0 on the year. Junior
running back De’Anthony Thomas
had that break game that everyone
in the country had been waiting
for, rushing for 264 yards on 25
carries with four touchdowns, all
career highs.
Redshirt sophomore
quarterback Marcus Mariota was
steady for the Ducks, completing
13-of-23 passes for 179 yards and
adding 40 yards on 11 carries, with
one touchdown. Senior Josh Huff
continued his strong start to the
fictional season by catching six
passes for 65 yards and a score.
Defensively, junior defensive
end Tony Washington had a
career-high nine tackles with
three tackles for loss. Junior
defensive back Terrance Mitchell
added eight tackles while junior
linebacker Derrick Malone had
Oregon’s lone sack of the game.
As a team, the Ducks racked up
503 yards of total offense with 323
of them coming on the ground
compared to the Cavaliers who
had just 329 yards of total offense,
257 of which came through the
air. Oregon went 7-for-11 on third
down and held Virginia to going
4-for-14.
Oregon was winning 21-0
before a Cavalier field goal put
them on the board. Not be denied,
Thomas added his third rushing
touchdown of the game late in the
second quarter to give Oregon a
28-3 halftime lead.
The Cavaliers held the Ducks
in check during the third quarter,
preventing the high-flying offense
from scoring while adding a
touchdown of their own to cut the
deficit to 28-10.
That difference was back up
to 25 points when Thomas broke
through the Virginia defense for
a dazzling 85-yard score early
in the fourth quarter. The teams
would trade a touchdown each
the remainder of the game to get
the final score at 42-17. Now let’s
see how Friday’s matchup actually
goes.
We skipped this particular
feature last week because, as
luck would have it, Electronic
Arts didn’t include the Nicholls
State Colonels in this iteration of
NCAA College Football. But we’ll
certainly be back on the digital
gridiron next week when Oregon
takes on Tennessee at Autzen
Stadium.

HOUSING
HOROSCOPE by Holiday Mathis
ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your sign mate
Thomas Jefferson had it absolutely right
when he said, “In matters of style, swim with
the current; in matters of principle, stand like
a rock.”
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). You will return
to the role of student with a long list of fresh
questions. The more you learn the more you
appreciate the endless loop that is the learning process.
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). For you, the
glory has never been in riding on your high
horse; rather, it’s in getting back on the
horse after you’ve been knocked off. Today
you’re something of a comeback kid.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). You will politely listen to the advice and philosophy of
admired teachers, even though you may not
be able to relate to it as of yet. The ideas will
apply when you find evidence of their truth in
your own life.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Sleep is an important
part of any mammal’s life. Don’t lie awake
worrying about tomorrow when you should
be asleep. Instead, outline the plan that will
assuage your worries.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Your request
for excellence will only be understood
and acted upon if you also put it in writing.
There’s something about ink and paper that
makes it so.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You’ll give a
gift. The presentation will be crucial to its
reception. Some items are so perfect, they
shouldn’t be packaged with other items that
might dilute the value.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You appreciate your family, but that doesn’t mean you
need every member around you at all times.
You’ll call on your kin as needed. Set boundaries to instate the policy.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Submitting to the judgment of others is a kind of
agreement you don’t want to get into. When
your friends get “judgy,” it’s time to pull back
and assert your independence.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). You understand what you’re dealing with much better
than anyone else does. What can you do to
shed light on the matter so the others can
see it, too?
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Your instructions will be helpful in solving a mystery.
You won’t spell out the answer, but you’ll tell
people where they should look for the clues.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). It’s exciting
when a natural phenomenon unfolds before you. You’ll enjoy watching one of life’s
stranger processes in detail. Paying attention is its own reward.
TODAY’S BIRTHDAY (Sept. 5). You won’t
be so easily pleased, and because of this
an inner fire ignites. Ordinary marks of progress won’t satisfy you. You won’t stop until
you’ve achieved what no one else has. Love
in abundance will support you. Your professional status rises in November. There’s a
financial reward in October and January.
Capricorn and Libra people adore you. Your
lucky numbers are: 40, 24, 11, 7 and 14.

across the street
there is more at risk
in virginia than a win
challenging for any team. But for a
team that relies on many freshman
and sophomores to contribute, it has
the unnerving smell of “upset alert.”
If Oregon can find a way to get the
victory, and defeat the University
of Tennessee the next week, it will
give the Ducks two victories against
talented opponents in big-time
conferences, a huge resume booster
with the computer rankings portion of
the BCS.
Apart from giving its young players
a chance to thrive, the Virginia game
gives Oregon a chance to prove itself
to the nation. Most of the Ducks’
games are played between 6 p.m. and
8 p.m. on the West Coast, making
it nearly impossible for East Coast
media and fans to watch Oregon. By
traveling the 2,800 miles, fans will
get a glimpse of Oregon’s lightning
fast-paced offense and its Heisman
hopeful quarterback.
“Communication – making sure
we’re all on the same point,” Mariota
said. “Going in there and playing with
a lot of effort, understanding it’s going
to be a pretty loud atmosphere and
taking care of our business.”
The game also proves itself to be a
powerful recruiting tool for the Ducks
and their coaching staff. By traveling
to Virginia, it allows Oregon to reach
out to high school standouts they
never thought possible. It gives the
Ducks a presence on the east coast
because it allows recruits to come to
the Oregon-Virginia game and see
what all the hoopla is about besides
the team’s infamous uniforms.

he Ducks will travel 2,810
miles before they step
on to the field to play the
University of Virginia
Cavaliers in a Pac-12 – ACC
showdown on Sept. 7.
A solid outing against Virginia is
important to the Pac-12 conference
and Oregon’s coaches and players.
“It’s a just ‘us’ kind of mentality
and we’ll see how we handle that,”
defensive coordinator Nick Aliotti
said. “This team has been pretty good
for the most part on the road so
hopefully we have their attention.”
For Oregon, this is the first “true”
competition it will face since its Fiesta
Bowl victory over Kansas State in
January 2013.
The Ducks will go into a hostile
environment, Scott Stadium, and get
their first taste of what it’s like to play
on ACC turf in program history.
“It’ll be interesting but that’s just the
nature of the beast,” Aliotti said. “It’ll
be interesting for some of these young
puppies to play away from home in an
atmosphere where people don’t like
you.”
It’ll be a telling moment for
young players like sophomores
Arik Armstead, DeForest Buckner,
Byron Marshall, Bralon Addison and
Marcus Mariota, who traveled as far
as Glendale, Ariz. for the Kansas State
game.
“It’s going to be a long road trip but
the coaches have developed what the
schedule is going to be like over the
next few days,” Mariota said. “We’re
taking it like any other game and we’ll
see where that takes us.”
