Here are a few updates on the super secret scrimmage via Twitter. The updates obviously aren't very detailed, but better than nothing I guess...

''Barner runs a lot like Jeremiah Johnson, and while wearing No. 24 it's uncanny. Flint boots a 20-yard FG. #goducks''

''LaMichael James. Wow. Wow. (repeat). Unreal speed in the open field. #goducks''


wow, thats awesome.

Man, next Thursday can't come soon enough. It sounds like the team is really coming together. Boise will need to bring everything they've got to win this game.

The Ducks are faster and better conditioned than they've even been. I predict "speed kills" the Broncos!

Only 8 more days... James is the player I can't wait most to see play this season.

Hmmm. Masoli, Barner, James and Blount on the field at one time, with say, Dickson, Maehl, Tunieni, and Holland...

Who gets the ball?

Can you say, "Hide The Button?"

I feel a couple of "OMG!!! Did you see that?" moments coming for the ESPN announcers and audience, as well as BSU.

It was intended as IM humor/mild sarcasm... A play like that, if anyone ever tried it, would immediately dubbed something like "Mass Hysteria".

While I can't wait to see James as well, it seems like we've been spoiled with big time backs lately.

I can't wait to see the tall receivers making some great catches. But don't get me wrong...keep spoiling me with the backs too!

Tuinei seems like he could be a big time threat for us. Coaches love what he's done so far this summer.

A brief update from GoDucks.com:

That's a Wrap
Tuesday, August 25, 10:00 p.m. PT

The Ducks completed their final scrimmage of preseason camp on Tuesday night and consider themselves to be in regular season mode starting Thursday, when they commence game week practices focusing on Boise State. While many regulars were limited to a handful of plays, the warmup game served its purpose by simulating a gameday feel and allowing the coaching staff an extended look at several players battling for playing time this season.

It's never easy to assess intra squad scrimmages - if the offense makes a big play, the defense is called into question, and vice versa - but it's fairly evident that Oregon has an impressive stable of playmakers on both sides of the ball.

LeGarrette Blount only had four carries, but managed to squeeze in a hurdle and carry defenders on an 11-yard first-down pickup. Jeremiah Masoli's first pass of the scrimmage went for 49-yards and a touchdown to Jeff Maehl, who took advantage of single-man coverage and executed the play with precision and grace. Touted redshirt freshman LaMichael James put his blistering speed on display during a 26-yard touchdown run, and Kenjon Barner channeled his inner Jeremiah Johnson to the tune of 52 yards on eight carries with a touchdown.

On the other side of the ball, Casey Matthews averaged nearly a tackle for each snap he played, finishing with four. Zac Clark continued his impressive preseason, making five stops, including three tackles for loss. Eddie Pleasant also made five tackles as did true freshman Michael Clay, who also returned an interception for 25 yards. Needless to say, there were plenty of plays to be encouraged by for both units.

Andre Crenshaw, 6-41, TD

Not bad either.
