LaMichael James had 150 rushing yards and three touchdowns, Jeremiah Masoli threw for two scores, and the Oregon defense held Arizona State to 212 yards of offense in a 44 to 21 win on Saturday night.
Executive officer 1st Lt. Daniel Cotton, 26, of Beaverton, Ore., graduated from the University of Oregon in 2006. Cotton was a UO cheerleader and spent his last year as the team mascot: the Duck. He deployed to Iraq with Oregon's 41st Infantry.
This will turn some Duck fans green -- and not just because they're wearing team colors. Brenden Potts, 11, spent Friday practicing with Jeremiah Masoli and trading plays with Chip Kelly.
Executive officer 2nd Lt. Libby Smith, 24, of Spokane, Wash., attended the University of Oregon and was a cheerleader from 2003-2007. Now stationed in Iraq, she hopes to cross paths with another soldier in Iraq who was her first cheer partner on the UO squad.
Roseburg soccer players Josh Malone, Brandon Johnson and Chris Timm have been named to the Southwest Conference's first-team. Head coach Kevin Hunt was also tabbed as the SWC's best in 2009.
