EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — “Touchdown, Thomas to Thomas” is becoming a familiar refrain at Autzen Stadium, and the connection between Darron Thomas and De’Anthony Thomas could become more even common for No. 9 Oregon while LaMichael James is nursing an elbow injury.
James, the Pac-12 offensive player of the week, ran for 239 yards in Oregon’s 43-15 victory over California last week before going down with a dislocated shoulder early in the fourth quarter.
The Ducks don’t discuss injuries and all James would say Tuesday is that he has not been ruled out of Oregon’s game against No. 18 Arizona State on Saturday night.
The Ducks have plenty of options in his absence, but one of the most dynamic to emerge this season is the connection between the two Thomases.
