When Bryan Bennett returned to the practice field Wednesday after discussing the possibility of transferring with Chip Kelly, it was a welcome sight for the Ducks.  Bennett had been in a position battle with Marcus Mariota throughout spring and fall camps with Mariota edging out Bennett for the starting job on September 1st, but the Ducks say that doesn’t make Bennett any less important.
“For us to do what we want to do what we want to do we need Bryan here,” Carson York said.
Josh Huff–who tweeted his support for Bennett yesterday during the backup quarterback’s meeting with coach Kelly–said he also lobbied to Bennett directly.
“I told Bryan just to do what he can to help the team and just be patient,” he said. “Who’s to say, God forbid, that Marcus did get hurt, we’d have no experienced quarterback behind Marcus. I told him to think about that and to think about his teammates as well.”
Huff said that he was always confident that Bennett would choose to stay in Eugene, but he voiced his support to make sure Bennett knew how much he meant to the team.
