Oregon RB Bucky Irving Practices Wednesday Ahead of Facing USC

Irving has been a huge piece of the Oregon offense this year and appears to be in store for a big day against USC this weekend.

EUGENE, Ore- Oregon running back Bucky Irving participated fully in the Ducks' Wednesday practice ahead of their matchup against the USC Trojans on Saturday.

This comes after he missed the portion of Tuesday's practice that was open to the media for undisclosed reasons. 

In his second season with the Ducks, the 5-foot-10, 195-pound back has carried the ball 106 times for 733 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns while averaging 6.9 yards per carry. 

The versatile back has also been a big contributor in the passing game, hauling in 32 balls (No. 3 on the team), for 263 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown. 

Irving looks poised for a big day against the Trojans in week 11, as their defense has given up 186.5 rushing yards per game and 4.8 yards per carry. Sophomore Jordan James has starred in his complementary role alongside Irving, rushing for 457 yards and 8 touchdowns on 64 carries.

The Ducks' offensive line has played great all year and they'll focus on players like nose tackle Bear Alexander this weekend, who's been one of the better players for a Trojans defense that is playing in its first game since Lincoln Riley fired defensive coordinator Alex Grinch.
