Oregon Game Notes
No. 7 Oregon at Tennessee • Sept. 11, 2010 • Knoxville, Tenn. (Neyland Stadium)
• SO RB LaMichael James' 72-yard touchdown run was a career long and the first rush of 70 or more yards by a Duck since Jeremiah Johnson had a 76-yarder vs. Oklahoma State in the 2008 Holiday Bowl.
• James reached the century mark for the 10th time in his career, tying him for fifth all-time in 100-yard rushing games. He became the third different Duck to surpass 100 yards in a game this season.
• After his 75-yard interception return for a touchdown, all three of SO CB Cliff Harris' official touches this season have gone for scores (2 punt returns, 1 pick six). The INT was the second of his career.
• SO RB Kenjon Barner had his second career return for a touchdown - first on a punt return - with his 80-yard score in the 4th quarter. The punt return was the eighth longest (tie) in UO history.
• The 4th-quarter touchdown catch (29 yards) by SR WR Lavasier Tuinei was the first of his career.
• JR TE David Paulson, who had four catches including a TD for the second straight game, has 18 career receptions - all but two resulting in either a first down or a touchdown.
• The 2nd-quarter touchdown pass by SO QB Darron Thomas (to Paulson) was the first of his career in five games away from Autzen Stadium.
• Paulson set career highs in receptions (4) and receiving yards (61).
• SO K Rob Beard connected on the first field goal of his career, a 37-yarder in the 1st quarter.
• The crowd of 102,035 was the third-largest for a football game involving Oregon behind 2007 at Michigan (109,733) and 1995 vs. Penn State at the Rose Bowl (102,247).
• JR Darrion Weems made his second career start, opening at left tackle (Bo Thran moved to left guard and Carson York moved to right guard in place of C.E. Kaiser).
• The first points Oregon allowed this season came on a 48-yard FG on the game's opening drive.
• The Ducks went 5-plus quarters to start the season before allowing a touchdown.
• There was a weather delay of one hour and 10 minutes in the first quarter with UT leading 6-0.
• UO has won its last three games against teams from the SEC and is 5-0 in its last five games east of the Rocky Mountains.
• Through two games, Oregon has outscored the opposition 120-13.
