**Kayvon Thibodeaux is currently listed as day-to-day. While tempting to profile another talented player on the Oregon defense, all eyes should rightfully be on Thibodeaux until we hear whether or not he is going to play in The Shoe. A few of Oregon’s other defensive playmakers are mentioned throughout.**
Well, this piece took an awkward turn… Oregon megastar Kayvon Thibodeaux is THE player to watch for the Ducks. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking offense, defense, or special teams — Thibodeaux is a transcendent talent. Unfortunately, he was injured during Oregon’s opener against Fresno State. After getting to the Fresno State quarterback early, and producing one of the season’s early highlights, the defensive end/Joker was rolled up on by a teammate and forced to miss the second half.
