EUGENE, Oregon — This week Duck head coach Willie Taggart revealed his updated depth chart with the quarterback position split between Justin Herbert OR Braxton Burmeister. Clearly, Herbert is making a major push for an appearance in Seattle.
Taggart has been pleased by the progress of his sophomore quarterback. However, just because he’s getting closer doesn’t mean Oregon’s head coach will rush him back.
“He’s been drinking a lot and he’s getting better,” Taggart said. “We’re going to put Justin out there when we feel he’s ready to go. We’re not going to do anything to jeopardize him.
