EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — While there's plenty of other drama surrounding Saturday's game between No. 14 Oregon and Arizona State, a guy who may or may not play will be getting almost all the attention.
Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount, who became infamous for punching a Boise State player on national television after the season opener, has returned from suspension after missing eight games.
The Ducks will start redshirt freshman LaMichael James at running back against the Sun Devils. James has emerged as the team's top rusher — and one of the best in the conference — in Blount's absence, averaging 115.9 yards.
