It's Tyler Shough's show now. Presumably.
The No. 12 Oregon Ducks open the season at home against Stanford on Saturday with a new quarterback after record-breaker Justin Herbert graduated to the NFL.
Shough is embarking on his sophomore season after throwing for 144 yards and three touchdowns as Herbert's backup last season.
Still, Ducks coach Mario Cristobal stopped short this week of labeling Shough the definitive starter against the Cardinal. He was listed as an “or” on the depth chart with Boston College transfer Anthony Brown.
And yes, Cristobal all but admitted it was gamesmanship.
