Eddie Pleasant named DPOY

WALNUT CREEK, Calif.–Quarterback Matt Barkley of USC, rover Eddie Pleasant of OREGON and punterSean Sellwood of UTAH have been named Bank of the West Pac-12 Players of the Week in football.

 


 

Barkley, a junior from Newport Beach, Calif., threw a school-record six touchdown passes in USC’s 42-17 win at Colorado. He completed 25-of-39 passes for 318 yards with one interception to earn College Football Performance Awards National Performer of the Week and National Quarterback of the Week honors. On the year, Barkley has completed 229-of-342 passes (67.0%) for 2,608 yards and 28 touchdowns. He ranks fourth on USC’s career passing and total offense lists with 675 completions and 8,104 yards. Barkley is the only Trojan to have thrown at least five touchdowns four times in his career.

 


 

Pleasant, a senior from La Palma, Calif., had two interceptions for 65 yards in the 34-17 win at Washington. Both first-half interceptions led to Oregon touchdown drives that gave the Ducks a slim 17-10 halftime lead. Pleasant also added five tackles, including two unassisted, as Oregon held Washington to 278 yards of total offense (82 rush/196 pass).

 


 

Sellwood, a junior from Salt Lake City, Utah, averaged 50.5 yards on four punts in the Utes’ 34-21 win at Arizona. He tied his career-long with a 67-yard punt in the first quarter. Sellwood dropped two of his punts inside the 20-yard line in the fourth quarter with Utah nursing a 27-14 lead. The Utes came up with take-aways after both of those punts, the latter of which led to a Utah touchdown with 2:50 remaining to seal the win.

Dana Altman and EJ Singler Post Game Conference

 

Oregon beat Grand Canyon University Wednesday night 82-75 behind a 16-point effort from juniors E.J. Singler and Tony Woods for Oregon’s first exhibition game of the season.

Oregon played a very sloppy game overall and left head coach Dana Altman dissapointed in the effort and production of his Duck basketball team.

Oregon struggled from the field shooting just 26.5-percent from the field in the first half and 34.8-percent overall on the night. The poor shooting was even worse from three as Oregon shot just 15.8-percent on 3-of-19 shooting and didn’t make their first three of the night until midway through the second half.

Oregon was able to pull away late in the second half and get up by as many as 15 points with just over two minutes left in the game but GCU came roaring back to cut the diference to just seven.

Oregon trailed by as many as nine in the first quarter.

Oregon suspends Cliff Harris

 

EUGENE – University of Oregon cornerback Cliff Harris has been suspended from the Ducks’ football program pending a further review of a traffic stop that occurred Monday afternoon in Eugene, according to the Ducks’ Head Coach Chip Kelly.

 

The suspension will include a complete prohibition from all football activities until the matter is resolved.

 

The Fresno, Calif., junior had been credited with nine tackles in six games this season after missing the season-opening loss to LSU while serving an indefinite suspension. In addition, Harris had intercepted one pass against Arizona State while deflecting five passes, and had returned nine punts for 68 yards (7.6 avg.).

 

The 2010 consensus All-America defensive back and punt returner led the nation with 23 passes broken up a year ago and finished second in the country in punt returns with an 18.8-yard average.
