Projecting Oregon Ducks’ two-deep depth chart following first scrimmage of fall camp
We are a little bit more than a week into the fall season for the Oregon Ducks, and the first big event just took place, with Dan Lanning’s first scrimmage of the season now in the rearview mirror.
Though the scrimmage was closed to media members, Lanning discussed what took place afterwards, and reported that both the offense and defense looked pretty good, with the offense starting out hot, and the defense buckling down and forcing a couple of turnovers late.
What’s most important is that there appear to have been no major injuries, and all of the players on the roster got a chance to showcase what they have been working on during the offseason and try to find a place on the depth chart.
So after a week of camp, what does that depth chart look like? Here’s our best estimation based on what we’ve seen at practice thus far:
