* Justin Herbert will start at quarterback for the Ducks. The sophomore has been out since Sept. 30, when he suffered a broken left (non-throwing) collarbone.
*Â It appears that freshman free safety Scottie Young Jr. will be returning to the starting lineup for ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥. Young (knee) missed three of the four previous games.
