The Duck and the dream: Walk-on WR Alfonso Cobb's long road to opportunity of a lifetime

EUGENE -- Oregon's receivers are so inexperienced that UO coaches, searching for contributors, are looking at every option.

Like the prep quarterback from the high school so small it didn't always have enough players to practice 11-on-11. The one who moved a state away to learn a position he'd never played. The one whose first trip to UO wasn't because on an official visit, but rather to take part in the university's academic orientation.

The one who few would have given a chance this fall to see the field -- his official UO bio is blank, after all -- until star wideout Darren Carrington's July dismissal threw the position's depth chart into flux.
