– Eastern Washington has suspended redshirt sophomore linebacker John Kreifels for its upcoming game against Northern Iowa. Kreifels was ejected in last Saturday’s game against the Ducks after delivering a late hit to quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. Adams Jr., who led the Eagles to three consecutive Big Sky championships before he transferred to Oregon this summer, left the game briefly, but said he is fine and intends to play against Michigan State this Saturday.
– Royce Freeman, Oregon’s first true freshman to rush for 1,000 yards, is “not much of a public person,” according to running backs coach Gary Campbell. His roommate Charles Nelson, however, said he’s far from quiet. ESPN’s Chantel Jennings describes Freeman’s life off the field, including his affinity for eggs and interest in VH1’s Dating Naked.
– Michigan State football players were not allowed to talk about the Ducks during the offseason. Now, Oregon is the only topic on their minds. The Ducks defeated the Spartans 46-27 at Autzen Stadium last year.
– Only 24 percent of college football players who transfer schools as graduate students, such as Vernon Adams Jr., complete their degree. Nevertheless, the Emerald’s Joseph Hoyt argues Adams Jr.’s performance after just three weeks learning the Oregon offense validates such a “free agency” system.
– Oregon volleyball started the 2015 season with nine road games, ending with a straight-set victory over Texas State. The team sits at 6-3 heading into Pac-12 play.
