Teams announced for quarterbacks, specialists ahead of Oregon Ducks spring game

The stage is now set for the Oregon Ducks spring game on Saturday afternoon, and the teams have been finalized.

On Friday afternoon, the rosters were set in stone.

Throughout the week, leading up to the annual scrimmage, the Ducks have been teasing out the divided rosters, giving us a view of what the green and yellow team would look like bit by bit. They first announced the wide receivers and defensive backs; on Wednesday night, the offensive and defensive linemen. Thursday night saw the running backs, linebackers, and tight ends.

Now we get a look at which players will quarterback each team, as well as the kickers, punters, and long snappers.

With all due respect to the specialists, few people are going to look past the QB matchups in this post. We get Jay Butterfield and Bo Nix on one side, and Ty Thompson and A.J. Abbott on the other side. Let the QB competition narratives begin.

More importantly, if we cross-match this roster with the wide receiver breakdown, it will be a lot of Thompson throwing to Troy Franklin, Chase Cota, and Kris Hutson. On the other side, Nix and Butterfield will be peppering guys like Dont’e Thornton, Seven McGee, and Justius Lowe throughout the day.

With the lineups now set, fans can really start to get excited about what is getting set to take place on Saturday afternoon. It should be a very entertaining spring game.
