I cannot tell you how many Duck fans expressed to me confidence in Novosad, if Dante Moore is hurt or unable to get the job done. I had that confidence as well, but Stein brings in Luke Moga as the second quarterback?

Can someone 'splain that one to me?

Either Novosad is hurt or he is prepping to transfer out.

Quite possibly.

Novosad was listed as “questionable” on the injury report. I believe he is still QB2.

Interesting, but I don’t read a whole lot into rotations when the game is decided in the 1st quarter. I don’t think that walk-on is our third string.

"Cornerback Theran Johnson, a Northwestern transfer, may make his debut. He's one of two Oregonplayers listed as questionable. Backup quarterback Austin Novosad is also designated that way."

Emmanuel Pregnon available for Ducks nine others out against Oklahoma State

Oregon released its availability report two hours before Saturday's game with Oklahoma State. Here are the nine players listed on it.

Novosad doesn't have a redshirt at this point.

Novosad was also the second QB out there in week 1.

I'll trust the coaching staff on this but I'm puzzles as well.

Interesting.. I instantly thought when Moga came in was they just wanted Luke to get more reps. Nothing else

Saving Austin tell league play starts. Moga is auditioning that teams will become familiar with his play....

That's kinda what I thought at first.

I just thought they were putting Moga in first and Novosad would get some reps later.

I was surprised to not see Novosad at all.

Thomas getting some reps with the 3s and 4 made sense. I wouldn't want my backup to take a hit like Thomas did. No offense to Thomas. But Thomas as a walk on has also earned some reps with his hard work and the last couple series of a blow out is absolutely the time to do it.

Northwestern and Oregon State are up next. The backups will certainly get playing time in both of those so we'll have to wait and see who gets those reps.
