Venue: Moshofsky Center
Format: Full pads
It wasn't that long ago that Oregon football practices featured music nearly throughout. These days, it's likely only to be heard during pre-practice stretching. But although the music went quiet as drills began Tuesday, it was still loud inside the Moshofsky Center.
After stretching, the Ducks went immediately into tackling drills Tuesday morning. As the drill progressed, the sound of pads popping got progressively louder. That intensity carried over into team situations; Verone McKinley III popped a receiver to break up a pass in the first 11-on-11 period, and a few minutes later Isaac Slade-Matautia hit the edge and smacked a wideout who had just received a short pass.
