Venue: Outdoor practice fields

Two practices after the offense generally got the better of Oregon's first spring scrimmage, the defense returned the favor Thursday morning.
Jordan Happle had a pick-six midway through practice, and Kayvon Thibodeaux helped the No. 1 defense dominate a red-zone situation against the No. 1 offense. The offense bounced back to score in an overtime drill late in practice, but overall it was the defense's day, with Keith Brown forcing a fumble in the red zone that Maceal Afaese recovered.
