Eugene- All it took was one series. With a large lead in the 3rd quarter Saturday at Autzen Stadium, Cristobal decided, as well he should have, to give starting quarterback Justin Herbert a rest, if nothing else than to prevent the possibility of an unnecessary injury in a game that was all but decided.
Braxton Burmeister, the sophomore, entered in as the next man up, having presumably earned 2nd string duties by virtue of his time with Oregon last year in which he was called upon to fill in for Herbert while Justin recovered from a broken collarbone sustained at the end of September.
