Tony Grecian* said 'We have
pretty much been on tha same

The other obstac le* may not

The tailfwck situation is
rumored to be s bark-by com*
mitlee situation, and the long
term wide receiver prospect*
remain a question mark.
But. while replacing departed
Ricky Whittle and Cristtn
Mclemore will be no easy leak.
Koetter believes the thick* have
serious potential at both spot*
"We have e talented group of
tailback* that are working to
replace Rick, and 1 also think
that we are deeper at wide
receiver than peopia give us
credit for," Koetter said.
At the wide receiver posi
tions. senior* to be Dameron
Ricketts and Jibri Hodge and
tuniortobe jamaai Wallace
have shown up big st times this
spring, and the Ducks will have
tnird-year receiver Pat lohnson
beck next fail
A* far as tailbacks go. the
Ducks may go with a back-by
committee approach more out
of desire than out of necessity.
Koetter Mid, pointing out lh*i
Whittle sustained some Mrtoui
injuries down the straith last
HNHon because of the physical
nature of the position Rwithin
freshman Darien Latimer snd
sophomore* David Crump and
Kevin Parker are the strongest
candidate* for that committee
“With the pounding that post

*1 am really comfortable with
what we are doing." Graziani
said "We are kind of getting a
little hit more into my strengths,
and that is helping me a great
deal — getting guys down the
field a little bit more and getting
a little bit mom vertical like we
tried to do last year hut we kind
of shied away from. It has kind
of catered to my needs some.
"It is kind of refreshing to
have a coach that wants to do
what you are good at. I think
that has only helped me "
But there is still one question
lingering in Koetler's mind.
“When you lose two great
offensive players like Ricky
Whittle and CHstin McLatntvre.
who were two big-play type of
guys, the biggest question mark
in my mlndls who is going to
step up and be that big-play
guy.”
For that, the Ducks will just
have to wait and see.
