Sounds like Lyerla is looking real good in practice...I expect both Colt and Delvon Simmons to commit to Oregon on Saturday during the game!

Johnstone is sitting out all week because of back issues. Hope he gets better.

Sucks that Johnstone had to withdraw due to injury. The reports about Lyerla would make anybody want him at Oregon.

Lyerla has been far & away my #1 want this year. If we get him, I don't care about Blackmon or any of the other Tosh boys.

Its too bad he is getting rave reviews at LB....but we will be playing him on Offense.

They had to stick him somewhere to play in the game, but I think he would excel anywhere he plays.

It's too soon to know where he'll play. Yes, he says we're recruiting him at offense, but you guys swear CK will leave him there if he's not doing well unless Lyerla doesn't want to play defense.

Not sure I like this...- Tyler Johnstone is sitting out all week after failing his physical due to back issues. Arriving today to take his place on the roster is Texas A&M commit Joseph Cheek.

It's one thing to sit out a game because your back is bothering you, but failing a physical appears more serious. Hopefully it's a minor problem.

French sounds like he's looking good also at LB. I think getting players like him and Lyerla are a benefit because they are so versatile and can play a lot of spots. The staff will find the best fit for them when they get on campus, but from what I've hear they are pretty open right now as to what side of the ball Colt will play.

In reading his comments and interviews, I get the sense that he likes USC because of the NFL LBs they have. At UO, we've got a string of TEs that go to the league and the best offensive mastermind in the country. He has said this past week that his preference is on the "offensive side of the ball" and I think Colt wants to play in this offense and understands that physical freaks make it in the league on either side of the ball.

I wouldnt look to much into it... having a back issue and failing a physical are one in the same... would you be able to pass a physical with a injury to your back? Probably not... backs are weird that way.

I guarantee that these guys will not let a kid play with some types of injury... It could be seriously aggravated which would be a major liability for the Bowl and it's sponsors.

That's the real reason for a precamp physical... Limiting liability.
