Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The
Pac-12 has heard plenty
of criticism from fans and
coaches about a third of
games being played at night
last year.
That has led Commis-
sioner Larry Scott to pos-
sibly try a new scheduling
approach this season.
Instead of “Pac-12 After
Dark,” welcome to “Breakfast
with the Pac-12.”
Scott said Fox and confer-
ence athletic directors are in
preliminary talks about morn-
ing kickoffs for some games,
which would put them in the
network’s key noon Eastern
time slot. Any morning kick-
offs, which would be at 9 a.m.
Pacifi c and 10 a.m. Mountain,
would be voluntary and not
dictated by Fox.
“That would be new and
somewhat out of the box, but
I’ve tried to put everything on
the table,” Scott said. “I think
there are some schools and
markets that might respond
positively.”
Coaches are split about the
possibility of a morning kick-
off. Utah coach Kyle Whit-
tingham said the sooner they

can start, the better.
“We’d adjust. We’ve played
those games before. It’s been
few and far between, but
we’ve had those 10 a.m. kick-
offs in the past. We’d jump at
the chance for that,” he said.
Stanford’s David Shaw
said he would be somewhat
resistant.
“All the studies we’ve all
read and conducted ourselves
on our campus, our sleep
studies, it is better for young
people to perform athletically
if they get a full night’s sleep,”
Shaw said. “And I don’t know

“We’ve been through the
highest of highs and lowest
of lows and we’ve seen all the
success that’s been at Oregon
so we’re capable of looking
at it and realizing this isn’t
where we wanted to be,” Her-
bert said. “There’s a direc-
tion that we’re heading and I
think we need to keep going
that way.”

I’ve feel like I’ve improved

“He was all about it,”
Bradley said. “He’s ready
for any chance to compete.
We’ve had several team-
mates come out for it since
their freshman year. They
spread the word. (Jennings)
was excited to hear about
it.”
Jennings is in for a long
week. After Tuesday’s car
wash, he and his family hit
the road to Sacramento. The
fi nals commence on Sunday
morning. The javelin event is
scheduled for 8 a.m. at Hor-
net Stadium.
state of Oregon. He noted
that every other athlete in his
division is aged 16, which
means they’ll have an extra
year of athletic experience
going into the competition.
“I’m so nervous,” Jen-
nings said. “I’m going to be
one of the younger people
there. I’m the only 15-year-
old in the bracket. Playing
with the big dogs is going to
be fun.”
Bradley said he provides
the opportunity for his ath-
letes to compete in the Junior
Olympics every year, and
that Jennings was eager to
and Field Junior Olympic
state meet, as well as the top
fi ve in regionals, where he
fi nished at fi rst place with a
160-foot distance.
“It’s been the best I could
have asked for,” Jennings
said of his fi rst year as a
high school track athlete.
“I started out throwing 104
feet, and ended (the season)
throwing 180.”
Not only is he the lone

Junior Olympics, but he’s

He struck out fi ve.
“The trade rumors are not
weighing on me. I’m search-
ing to fi nd that rhythm, to
try and fi nd the mechanics
and fi nd the release point,”
Minor said. “I just want to
pitch better, so I’m looking
forward to my next start.”
Vogelbach started the big
inning with a line drive shot
down the right fi eld line for
his 24th homer. That was the
start of four straight hits to
start the inning, including an
RBI infi eld single from Kris-
topher Negron. An error by
catcher Jeff Mathis scored
another run and J.P. Craw-
ford capped the four-run
inning with an RBI single.
Vogelbach hit his second
homer in the sixth, a tow-
ering shot to right-center. It
was his third career multiho-
mer game. Vogelbach stayed
late on Tuesday night look-
ing at video to try and make
some fi xes with his swing.
“Just little things to get me
going in the right direction.

Texas slugger Joey Gallo
was out of the lineup after
leaving Tuesday’s game with

but that a stint on the injured
list appears likely.
Seattle is still await-
ing the results of an MRI

fi elder Domingo Santana
after he left Tuesday’s game
with discomfort in his arm.
Santana said the elbow has
been bothering him since
the All-Star break and was
aggravated making a throw
in Tuesday’s game. While
Seattle has not made a deci-
sion on whether Santana
needs to go on the injured
list, it appears likely he’ll
miss several games.

“We’ve got some young
guys that will have to step
up,” Sweek said. “I have high
expectations. That’s why we
attended (the EOU camp).
It’s an early start, rather than
starting at our fi rst practice. It
makes things a little easier.”
At 6 feet, 5 inches and
190 pounds, Sweek still isn’t
done tuning up. This week-
end, he’ll attend the National
Football Academy in Victo-
ria, British Columbia. The
three-day camp runs Fri-
day through Sunday. Sweek,
along with other high school
athletes, will receive coach-
ing from college instructors
and players.
Sweek was invited to join
the camp after his weekend at
EOU came to a close.
“It’s a long ways up there,”
Sweek said, “but it’s a huge
opportunity.”

weekend, players will spend
