Lost big-play opportunities linger with Oregon Ducks

EUGENE -- Jaylon Redd was pacing Autzen Stadium on Saturday evening when he came upon teammate Justin Herbert.

Oregon's redshirt freshman receiver had dropped a potential touchdown pass from Herbert on the game's first drive, the second drop by a UO wideout on the season's opening possession. The Ducks followed that by sputtering to another three-and-out on their second. Maybe offseason concerns surrounding the inexperience of UO's receivers weren't just noise, after all.

On Autzen's sideline, receiver and quarterback finally connected. Redd promised to make amends.

"I was walking up and down the sideline like, 'I got you, I'll make a play for y'all,'" Redd said.
