So did Pittman.

Newcomer Report: Trey Benson shines in FSU's win over Duquesne 247SPORTS.COM Newcomer Report: Trey Benson shines in FSU's win over Duquesne I agree, Benson looked really good. I’m not really sure why he left, but it would certainly be nice if Oregon still had him. But I think the Ducks will be fine at RB without him. One question- Wasn’t the reason he was underutilized at Oregon primarily bc of injuries? I’m not very familiar with that situation, I just assume this bc the announcers in the game seemed to point to that if I’m remembering correctly.

One question- Wasn’t the reason he was underutilized at Oregon primarily bc of injuries? Yes. He was hurt his first year. Knee surgery I think. He seemed healthy last season. I don’t recall any injury reports. MC may have been trying to bring him back slowly. Edited August 28, 2022 by DrJacksPlaidPants Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDuck Moderator No. 5 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Trey Benson was going to be future big time back for Oregon. Was really sad to see him go to the transfer portal. They should have utilized him. I felt Benson and Cardwell was going to be Oregon's future backs. What a combination they would have been. Though I feel really good with the committee of backs we now have.

Haywarduck Moderator No. 6 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Good for him, wish him well. I also hope Robby Ashford does well too. I wonder if he would have been the back-up qb like he is at Auburn? Jayson Jones is listed as their starting NT. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Fischer Administrator No. 8 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Meh. As I looked at that replay and others-there was horrible sloppy tackling that would not happen against a P5 opponent. Benson would have been a good big-back for us, but I think the new freshman Jordan is going to be a better big-back for us. I wish Trey well. 2 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duquesne isn’t exactly a powerhouse, and the tackling was very bad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not very familiar with that situation, I just assume this bc the announcers in the game seemed to point to that if I’m remembering correctly. Injuries were a factor. Then add the Verdell and Dye combo that just monopolized the run rotation. Cardwell only saw the field because Verdell went down with an injury. Cristobal's coaching style and approach resulted in a whole lot of close games which means the starters stay on the field the entire game. Backups don't get a chance to see the field. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
