With a 2010 freshman class including the likes of Lache Seastrunk, Dontae Williams, Curtis White and Ricky Heimuli, few would have expected wide receiver Josh Huff to be first-year player earning the most snaps four weeks into the season. Yet the 5-foot-11-inch freshman has made a difference for the Ducks with his game-breaking speed and nose for the ball. Huff came up with one of the mot spectacular plays in last week’s contest against Arizona State, hauling in a 54-yard touchdown pass from Darron Thomas in the third quarter to give Oregon an 11-point lead. Showing off his versatility, he also rushed for a touchdown against Portland State. The Emerald caught up with Huff after practice Wednesday to see how he is adjusting to life as an Oregon student-athlete.
