The Oregon Ducks Special Teams unit is ready for a breakout game. Wide Receiver Charles Nelson will have opportunities to exploit Arizona State in the punt and kick return game. Matt Wogan has been the rock of the unit time after time kicking for opponent’s touchbacks into and in most cases through the endzone setting the tone for field position.

Darren Carrington could also see the ball in the return game. Oregon has not utilized Carrington recently. Last week he had one catch and was targeted just five times against the California Golden Bears. The Ducks have the talent on Offense and Special teams to have a breakthrough game, and for Homecoming it could be the jolt this team needs as they push for a bowl game.

The Oregon Ducks need to win four of their last five games to become bowl eligible.
