It starts with the obvious: Oregon has a new quarterback this season in Dakota Prukop.But theres lots of newness around the No. 24 Ducks, from a crew of assistant coaches to a redone defense and a high-tech sports performance center.Prukop will be the face of the new-look Oregon on Saturday when the team hosts UC Davis in the season opener. New quarterbacks coach David Yost has likened seeing Prukop in a game at Autzen to Christmas and wanting to open presents.We want to get him in position where hes not too excited and understands theres still 10 other guys on offense that have to do their job, and all he has to do is his job, Yost told reporters in Eugene.A graduate transfer from Montana State, Prukop passed for 3,025 yards and 28 touchdowns with 10 interceptions last season. He also rushed for 774 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Big Sky team that finished 5-6.Prukop follows in the footsteps of Vernon Adams, a graduate transfer from Eastern Washington who started for the Ducks at the start of last season but was hampered by injuries.Freshman Justin Herbert, a local prospect out of Sheldon High School in Eugene, was listed as Prukops backup for the opener following a competition with Terry Wilson and Travis Jonsen during fall camp.Prukops development in the role has been natural, Helfrich said.I think just efficiency and kind of realizing that he doesnt have to make spectacular plays. We always try to talk about the simple play, the layup, handing the ball to Royce Freeman or throwing a hitch to so-and-and so -- thats a spectacular play when those guys get the ball in their hands, Helfrich said. As camp went along, he was much more patient, but still aggressive. Whereas in the spring he was always trying to win the job with every throw.Some of the other things that are new at Oregon this season:THE D: Its no secret Oregons bend-dont-break defense faltered last year. While the Ducks speedy offense led the Pac-12 with 43 points per game, the defense ranked last in the league in allowing 37.5 points per game. Defensive lapses included a 62-20 loss to Utah at Autzen, and of course the disastrous Alamo Bowl loss.Don Pellum, who was promoted to defensive coordinator last season after Nick Aliotti retired, returned to his previous post as linebackers coach when Oregon brought in Brady Hoke, the former Michigan head coach.Hoke is installing a new 4-3 defense and trying to bring cohesiveness to a group that lost veteran leader DeForest Buckner to the NFL.But Hoke has said the process isnt coming along as well as hed hoped: Weve got a long way to go to be a defense thats going to be effective in this league, he said.OTHER RECENT HIRES: In addition to Hoke, Yost is also new to the Ducks, having coached receivers the past three seasons under Mike Leach at Washington State.Matt Lubick is taking over for Scott Frost as the Ducks offensive coordinator. Lubick was promoted from receivers coach and passing game coordinator just before last seasons Alamo Bowl. Frost became head coach at Central Florida.NEW DIGS: Oregon recently opened the Marcus Mariota Sports Performance Center, a $19 million addition to the ever-growing list of facilities for student-athletes at Oregon.The center , on the ground floor of the Cassanova Center adjacent to Autzen, is designed to maximize athletic performance using technology, while also addressing wellness and sports medicine. Oregon director of athletic medicine Dr. Greg Skaggs visited NASA during the centers design process.There are even student sleeping pods, because of course there are.WHAT ABOUT THE UNIFORMS? The question that pops up this time every year is: What will the Ducks be wearing? Nothing has been revealed yet, but its coming. I will not tease you. Yes, there are uniform changes. Yes, theres some that are expansive, some that are not, coach Mark Helfrich said during Pac-12 football media day. Theyre all very cool.The Ducks did tease some gray uniforms during a photo shoot with Olympian Devon Allen before the start of fall camp. Emmanuel Mudiay Jersey . -- Aldon Smith believes he is on the path to being sober for good. Tracy McGrady Jersey . The veteran safety was a starter for the Bengals from 2008-2012. He totaled 41 tackles and three interceptions while starting all but four of the 13 games he played last season. http://www.nbaknicksprostore.com/kids-enes-kanter-knicks-jersey/ . Most important, perhaps, it went off without a hitch. Organizers poked a little fun at the now-infamous opening ceremony gaffe that saw only four out of five snowflakes open up into rings, leaving the Olympics logo one ring short. Mitchell Robinson Jersey . The head of USA Boxing came out swinging Tuesday with an open letter to Tyson -- a former Olympic hopeful himself -- that accuses the former heavyweight champion of trying to poach fighters who might be candidates for the U. John Starks Jersey . Kuznetsov, who was selected by the Capitals in the first round of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, has been playing for his hometown team Chelyabinsk Traktor of the KHL. TORONTO -- Mariners left-hander Wade Miley paid a heavy price for putting a foot wrong against Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion.J.A. Happ and three relievers combined on a one-hitter, Encarnacion hit a solo home run and Toronto Blue Jays beat Seattle 2-0 on Sunday, avoiding a three-game sweep.Miley (6-8) lost his sixth straight decision, allowing two runs and four hits in six innings.Something to build off, keep going in the right direction, Miley said. I felt like I wasnt quite as sharp as in my last outing, but I was able to make some pitches and get out of most of the jams.Miley intended to throw a pitch up and away when facing Encarnacion with two outs in the fourth, but his landing foot slipped on the mound.I didnt think I was going to be able to throw it anywhere near the plate when it happened, Miley said. Of course it went right down the middle.Miley has allowed two earned runs or fewer in 12 of 18 starts this season.I thought Wade Miley threw the ball very well, Mariners manager Scott Servais said. He made a mistake on the home run ball. Other than that it was a well-pitched game.Happ (13-3) won his seventh straight decision and surpassed the 12 wins he had for Philadelphia in 2009.All over baseball there probably hasnt been a more consistent starter, Blue Jays manager John Gibbons said. Hes a better pitcher than hes ever been. Hes having a tremendous season.Happ allowed Seattles lone hit, a single by Leonys Martin in the third. He matched a season-high with four walks and struck out six.I wasnt the best with strike one today, but I stayed in there, Happ said. As the game went on I got a little better getting ahead of guys, definitely.Brett Cecil worked the seventh, Jason Grilli pitched the eighth and Roberto Osuna finished for his 20th save.The shutout was Torontos sixth. The Blue Jays won for the first time in 24 games when scoring two runs or fewer.Happ made 21 appearances for the Mariners last season before beingg traded to Pittsburgh, but familiarity with the left-hander wasnt much help to Seattles hitters.ddddddddddddWe had some good at-bats, but he did enough to keep us off the board, catcher Mike Zunino said. When hes on, hes a tough guy to get to.Seattle lost for the first time in seven meetings with AL East opponents. The Mariners are 15-7 against the East.GRIFFEY GETS COOPERSTOWN CALLMariners great Ken Griffey Jr. was inducted into the Hall of Fame on Sunday afternoon. The first No. 1 draft pick to enshrined, Griffey played 22 big league seasons with Seattle, Cincinnati and the Chicago White Sox.
