Football
continued from page 7
Of the two, only Vossmeyer saw
action on the field last season. He
played in three games, but threw
just two passes, completing one for
six yards.
The failure of Collins to step on
the field is due to the fact he red
shirted last season after coming
over from Zillah High School in
Zillah, Wash.
Head coach Mike Bellotti said
during the offseason that the two
would be moving to linebacker.
Collins was asked to move the line
backer by the coaching staff, while
Vossmeyer was another situation.
“I didn’t really know what to
think at first,” Collins said. “I’d al
ways wanted to be a quarterback. I
guess if it gave me a chance to be on
the field earlier, I was all for it.”
“I was asked to not play quarter
back last year and play fullback,”
Vossmeyer said. “At which time, I
went to (linebackers coach Don)
Pellum and asked him if he would
give me a shot to play linebacker.”
Chances are, both won’t have
earned a starting spot next season,
but could see significant time on
the field.
Back to normal
Tuesday marked the first day of
full pads for Oregon during spring
practice. The Ducks opened the
week by wearing helmets only
Saturday, then added shoulder
pads Monday.
With the ability to hit without
great chance of injury, there was
significant enthusiasm from Ore
gon players.
“You look at it as though it’s not
really realistic,” Marques Binns
said of practice without full pads.
“The real way to play football is hit
ting, tackling, getting in there and
grinding. So now, it’s like the real
days for us. The other two days
were just preparation.”
Binns is a member of the Oregon
secondary, a unit that was statisti
cally ranked as one of the worst in
Division-I college football last sea
son. It is a also a group that should
benefit most from the added
padding, in that they can now de
fend without great worry of injury.
Bellotti is looking for the group
to step up its aggressiveness, and
also said last week that he expects
to get a better read on the team’s
running backs now.
“One thing, it’s going to be excit
ing,” he said. “It’s going to be able
to cut it loose. We had to hold back
being in helmets only because you
had to worry about injury, that
type of thing.
“We’ll contest the passes in the
air now, which we have not been
doing. It changes for everybody.
People will get to the ground. The
real key will be for everyone to exe
cute their technique, but now
they’re protected somewhat, and
they can sell out more.”
Oregon practices again Thursday
before a scheduled scrimmage Sat
urday, which Bellotti said should
last for approximately 60 plays.
