Oregon’s most veteran quarterback moved the ball most consistently in each of the Ducks’ two scrimmages this spring prior to Saturday. In front of 35,808 in Autzen Stadium for the Spring Game, Lockie did it again, seemingly cementing his status as the leading candidate to replace departed Heisman Trophy winner Marcus Mariota entering the summer.
Lockie went 9-of-9 for 223 yards and three touchdowns in the Spring Game, and also ran twice for 16 yards. The four other quarterbacks combined to match Lockie’s touchdown total, though Lockie himself isn’t taking anything for granted, especially with transfer Vernon Adams expected to arrive prior to the start of preseason camp.
