Masoli was No. 3 on Oregon’s depth chart when the season started but injuries pushed him into the spotlight. He made the most of it against Oklahoma State, rushing for 3 touchdowns on option keepers of 1, 17 and 41 yards, and passing for another 20-yard score. Masoli literally ran over Oklahoma State’s senior free safety Quinton Moore on the 41-yarder, proving, at least in this case, that Moore was less. Missed tackles, bad angles on pursuit and lack of effort all contributed to a defenseless spectacle of 10 touchdowns and a field goal. One rumor, probably untrue, was that there were no defensive statistics kept because the offensive play was so evident. For openers, both teams featured a spread offense with running quarterbacks. The result was Oregon gained 565 yards and Oklahoma State 469, only 1,034 total yards. Masoli rushed 16 times for 106 yards and completed 18-of-32 passes for another 258 yards. The Ducks’ Jeremiah Johnson picked up 119 yards on 12 carries. Teammate LeGarrette …

Customer Review: New Edition of this Book
I’m a multi sport athlete who trains all year round regardless of what sport I play. I bought a few of these Ultimate Guide to Weight Training books, and they definitely helped me train specifically for the different sports that I play. Then about a year later I received an email from amazon that there was a new edition out. These upgraded editions are even better than the originals, with more articles and a lot more sport-specific information. I would definitely recommend this series to anyone who plays a lot of sports or wants to specifically focus on training for one sport in particular.
