Pocketchange No. 3 Share Posted April 11, 2022 As much as I hate seeing UofO as a codefendant, I hope Mr Brenner wins. The injury that the snake’s workouts caused were inexcusable. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenner is often villianizes by some fans as one of the factors that lost us that horrible 2016-17 Alamo bowl. In that game both VA and the starting center (can't remember the name but Notre Dame transfer) went out with injuries. Brenner was brought in as the back up center and Lockie was brought on as the back up QB. Between a sharp decline in QB play and low snaps the offense didn't do anything in the second half. However, with all that said I do think Brenner deserves to win the case and at least some money. The work outs that caused his long term health issues were 100% avoidable and pretty much every player who was around the program at the time has said those work outs were designed to get some athletes to leave the program. That sort of behavior is a dark mark on Oregon's football history but the message needs to be sent that that sort of behavior is unacceptable for any coach in the NCAA... Regardless of how toothless the NCAA is these days. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 6 Share Posted April 11, 2022 Brenner was a UO o-lineman. 3☆ in state kid from Jesuit. Was academic all Pac12 a couple of years. Mainly a backup and rotational player. Part of the second half breakdown of the infamous Alamo Bowl where he replaced the injured starting center and repeatedly snapped the ball at Jeff Lockie's (who had replaced the injured Vernon Adams) ankles.

EastBayDuckDad Moderator No. 7 Share Posted April 11, 2022 That said, I agree with David that I would like to see them win the case and get some financial accommodation as the injuries they sustained were significant and were preventable. Never would have happened had Coach Rad still been in charge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
