Wide Receiver Corps Will Shine vs UC Davis

The Oregon Ducks are loaded with talent at Wide Receiver entering the 2016 season and I would expect that Dakota Prukop will have a day throwing to more than a few of his weapons on Saturday. Dwayne Stanford returns from a foot injury last season. Darren Carrington is always a threat when he is on the field and the team may also have the services of Olympian Devon Allen.

Allen placed fifth in the World at the Rio Olympics in the 110 Meter Hurdles after a whirlwind summer at the Olympic Trials in July and the Games in Brazil. He has been on the field for reps in practice since his return last week. If he makes a catch, expect the crowd on Saturday to rise to the occasion.

The Oregon Ducks also have the talents of Royce Freeman and Tight End Pharoah Brown who can fill a Wide Receiver hole, if needed.
