Venue: Dignity Health Sports Park
Format: Full pads
In the penultimate padded practice of his five-year career at Oregon, senior offensive lineman Shane Lemieux was answering to a brand-new nickname.
For the Ducks' practice Saturday, it was "Chef Lemieux" being coached up by the UO staff, and razzed by his teammates on the offensive line. That was in reference to the chef getup Lemieux wore the night before, during Oregon's visit Friday to Lawry's The Prime Rib in Beverly Hills, for the restaurant's annual "Beef Bowl" featuring the participating teams in the Rose Bowl.
