EUGENE -- Waiting was quite literally the most difficult thing for Austin Faoliu to do while recovering from an ankle injury for the better part of the last month.
The Oregon defensive end is heralded by teammates for his intensity and effort, which he couldn't always put forth during practice due to the injury. After missing the trip to Cal, Faoliu returned against Washington and made four tackles, but also re-aggravated his ankle, which caused him to miss the trip to Arizona.
"I wanted to be out there with my teammates so much but I got to stay level and focused on treatment so I can get back quicker," Faoliu said.
