Subscribe for weekly Oregon football breakdowns, and comment below on which defensive position you think is the biggest question mark for the upcoming season. Oregon entered fall camp with what appeared to be a straightforward situation at safety. Then Trey McNutt got healthy. Now the Ducks have Aaron Flowers coming back after starting all 15 games last season, Koi Perich arriving with an All-Big Ten résumé, and McNutt once again competing after losing last season to injury. But the biggest Oregon football story might not be who wins the starting jobs. What if Oregon's secondary has become deep enough that the Ducks don't have to choose? We break down why McNutt's return could create new personnel combinations, how additional safety depth could make Perich even more versatile, why Oregon can customize its secondary for different opponents, and how the Ducks' defensive front could make all of those coverage options even more dangerous. There is a downside: there are only so many snaps available. Oregon must manage a defensive-back room filled with veterans, transfers and talented young players who all expect opportunities. But if Oregon can keep everyone involved, this might not be a depth-chart problem at all. It might be a weapon.
