Oregon Spring Game 2021 Preview
The Oregon Ducks had a curious 2020 campaign, which ended with a Pac-12 championship despite some uneven performances during the COVID-19 stricken season. The Ducks finished 4-2 and were bumped into the title game appearance due to Washington having issues with COVID-19. Oregon won the conference title game 31-24 against USC, but ended up losing to Iowa State in the Fiesta Bowl.
Heading into the new year, there are lots of decisions to be made, including who the starting quarterback will be. Anthony Brown has currently received the majority of first-team reps, but coach Mario Cristobal said that doesn’t mean much — yet.
“When you have a competition where everyone’s alive in it, you want to keep everybody alive and get an opportunity,” Cristobal said. “I wouldn’t read much into it until we’re getting closer to the fall, closer to Game 1.”
“There’s still stuff that we’re working on from install one and two and it’s going over the small details, getting the basics of the defense and the foundation,” weak-side linebacker Isaac Slade-Matautia said. “From there you can understand more of the game plan, what’s going on and more of the new calls we’re going to install later on. For now the defense has been doing very well; even the offense, but the defense, we’re heading in a good direction.”
The program was expecting to play the game in front of roughly 8,000 fans, but COVID-19 restrictions in the area have scrapped that plan. No fans or families will be allowed to attend the game.
“I know what it’s like to go down the street and watch my son play in some of those games; I know how much that means to me and that’s flag football,” Cristobal said. “To our fans — let’s call it what it is: there’s no spring game on the West Coast like Oregon. It’s not even close. And we haven’t seen them in a while. You know how much we love our fans and they love us. We wanted to put on a great show in front of them live, in-person.
“The news was rough, it was hard to take, but like anything else in a pandemic year, you roll with it and you go forward and we’re going to do what’s safest and what’s best for everybody. Those are the orders. That’s what we’re going with, so we’re moving forward.”
