– After defeating the Colorado Buffaloes 41-24 in an underwhelming game, Mark Helfrich told the media on Sunday that his team could use a two-quarterback system moving forward. Jeff Lockie and Taylor Alie alternated drives throughout the game, with neither quarterback distancing himself from the other.

“I would be comfortable doing it if it makes sense,” Helfrich said. ““The game plan last week dictated that and there were some things that I thought both guys would do better than the other guy. They are both capable of executing the whole thing, but they played well enough and executed their deal to a high enough level to warrant that.”

– Martenne Bettendorf came through in a big way for Oregon volleyball on Sunday. Bettendorf helped the Ducks defeat Utah at home with 25 kills, including the match-clincher. After a heartbreaking loss to Colorado on Friday, the Ducks got their first home win of the season in their defeat of Utah.

“I was ready to put it away,” Bettendorf said.
