Oregon’s QB situation

Oregon coach Mike Bellotti said quarterback Justin Roper, who missed the last three games with a knee injury and also due to illness, looked good in practice Monday and was on target to play Saturday against the Bruins.
However, it doesn’t mean Jeremiah Masoli, who started last week at USC, won’t start against UCLA.
“(Roper) looked good yesterday,” Bellotti said this morning. “He seemed to be able to do everything we needed of him and barring any setbacks, he’ll continue to compete for the starting job. I assume he will play some, whether it be as a starter or a reserve.”
