Report: Oregon WR Darren Carrington suspended for National Championship
According to CSNNW.com, Carrington, a redshirt freshman wide receiver, failed “an NCAA administered drug test” for marijuana and is suspended for Monday night’s title game against Ohio State.
Carrington caught seven passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns in the Ducks’ 59-20 win over the Seminoles last week. If he misses the game, he’ll join fellow redshirt freshman receiver Devon Allen (41 catches, 684 yards, 7 TDs), who injured his knee on the opening kickoff of the Rose Bowl.
Carrington has emerged as a top target for Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Marcus Mariota in recent weeks. In addition to his performance against the Seminoles, Carrington caught seven passes for 126 yards and a touchdown in a Pac-12 title game victory over Arizona on Dec. 5. Overall, Carrington has 37 catches for 704 yards (19.0 yards per catch) and four touchdowns this season. His 704 receiving yards is second on the team.
The Ducks arrived in Dallas on Friday night.

Houston hires Major Applewhite as offensive coordinator
The school announced Thursday that Major Applewhite, the record-setting Texas quarterback and longtime collegiate assistant, will lead the Houston offense and serve as quarterbacks coach.
Applewhite did not coach in 2014, but he previously spent seven seasons as an assistant – including four seasons as co-offensive coordinator – at Texas under Mack Brown.
“Major has always been innovative on the football field with a focus on an explosive offense, both as a coach and player,” Herman said. “He is bright and has been on an elevated level in our profession beginning early in his career. Along with his offensive background, he is very well-respected in the state of Texas which will provide benefits on the recruiting trail.”
Before coaching at his alma mater, Applewhite spent a year as offensive coordinator at Alabama in 2007 – Nick Saban’s first year as head coach. He also had stints at Rice as offensive coordinator and at Syracuse as a quarterbacks coach.
During his playing career at Texas from 1998-2001, Applewhite threw for 8,353 yards, 60 touchdowns and 28 interceptions.
Before confirming the hire of Applewhite, Herman also hired Todd Orlando as defensive coordinator, Craig Naivar as assistant head coach and co-defensive coordinator, Jason Washington as special teams coordinator and cornerbacks coach, Drew Mehringer as wide receivers coach and Corby Meekins as tight ends coach.
Herman will round out his tenure as Ohio State offensive coordinator in the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday night against Oregon.

Michigan confirms hires of Durkin as DC, Drevno as OC
The school confirmed the hire of D.J. Durkin as the Wolverines’ new defensive coordinator on Thursday and the hire of Tim Drevno as the team’s offensive coordinator on Friday.
Durkin spent the past five seasons at the University of Florida where started as linebackers coach in 2010 and was promoted to defensive coordinator in 2013. Durkin will also coach linebackers at Michigan.
“D.J. is one of the top young defensive coordinators in football, and I look forward to having him work with our student-athletes,” Harbaugh said. “He will make an excellent addition to our staff.”
Durkin served as the Gators’ interim head coach in the team’s 28-20 win over East Carolina in the Birmingham Bowl on Jan. 3. Under his watch, Florida finished 15th in the country in total defense in 2013 and eighth in the country in total defense in 2014.
Before arriving at Florida, Durkin spent three seasons as defensive ends and special teams coach on Harbaugh’s staff at Stanford from 2007-09. He also coached at Bowling Green, his alma mater and was a graduate assistant at Notre Dame.
"Reuniting with Jim at the University of Michigan is an opportunity that I could not pass up," Durkin said. "We had some great times working together at Stanford, and I look forward to producing great results at Michigan. I look forward to coaching in the Big Ten after growing up in that footprint. I am excited to return to the Midwest and recruit and teach some of the best and brightest young men in the country.”
Drevno comes to Michigan after spending the 2014 season as the offensive line coach and run game coordinator at USC. Previously, he coached the offensive line under Harbaugh with the San Francisco 49ers from 2011-13 and at Stanford from 2007-10. Additionally, he was Harbaugh’s offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at the University of San Diego from 2003-06.
"I am excited to reunite with Tim and have him serve as the offensive coordinator for our Michigan program," Harbaugh said. "Tim is an outstanding offensive line coach and is a technician that works very hard at making his student-athletes better players and students. He will be an outstanding member of our coaching staff."
Drevno also had stints at Idaho, San Diego State, UNLV, Montana State and Cal State Fullerton. He will also coach the offensive line at Michigan.
"I am excited to join the University of Michigan and work with Coach Harbaugh again," Drevno said. "We have a long history together, and I have great respect for what he has accomplished as a coach. I am excited to be in Ann Arbor and can't wait to get to work with the players and staff to build on this program's great tradition."

National Championship Preview: Oregon's receivers
Season highlight: Like Ohio State, Oregon had its best receiving game against Michigan State. The Ducks had 17 catches for 318 yards and three receiving touchdowns in a 46-27 rout. It wasn’t the Ducks’ best game of the season in terms of numbers, but it was their best performance against one of the nation’s best defenses.
Player to watch: Former running back Byron Marshall has emerged as the team’s top receivers with 66 catches for 834 yards and five touchdowns. He’s one of the team’s most versatile players as he also is fourth on the team in rushing with 51 carries for 386 and three touchdowns touchdowns. Look for him to run some reverses and catch passes out of the backfield. He likes to move around to make it difficult for defenses to key on him.
Strengths: Oregon is really good at using a lot of guys in a lot of different ways to keep defenses off-balance. Nine different players have at least 10 catches and all of those players have at least 100 yards. Eight players have at least 300 yards. Even more impressive is that 11 different players are averaging double digits in yards per catch. It’s hard to key in on any one receiver in this offense because so many guys get involved.
Weaknesses: Oregon will be without one of its top receivers in Devon Allen, who suffered what is being reported as a season-ending knee injury during the opening kickoff of the Rose Bowl. The loss of Allen is tough because he's an NCAA track champion with top-end speed that put a lot of pressure on opposing defenses. Oregon was able to adjust without him against Florida State, but Ohio State’s secondary is much better and a much bigger challenge.
Overview: It’s all about options for Oregon quarterback Marcus Mariota and he has plenty of them. With nine different players having at least 10 catches already this season, Mariota has a plethora of receivers from which to choose.
Choosing which one to pay the most attention to is going to be one of the biggest challenges for the Ohio State secondary heading into this game. Marshall has led the team in receiving this season, but he hasn’t been the team’s top target the last couple games. That honor has gone to Darren Carrington, who has 291 yards and three touchdowns in the past couple contests, which equals 41 percent of his season total. Similarly, tight end Evan Baylis had six catches against the Seminoles, which was two more than he’d had all season.
Marshall, who actually graced the cover of Sports Illustrated this week, had five catches in each of the past two games, but for just 23 and 20 yards respectively.
Ohio State did a nice job of locking down Alabama’s star receiver Amari Cooper, who caught nine passes for 71 yards and two touchdowns. It was only the second time this season Cooper didn’t average at least 10 yards per catch. The Buckeyes also nabbed three interceptions, including one that was taken back for a touchdown late in the third quarter. Still, Alabama was able to gain 237 passing yards, which is more than the Buckeyes’ 191.6 yard average.
Overall, Oregon’s passing game is going to be up for a challenge against an Ohio State passing defense that ranks fourth in the country in pass efficiency defense and fourth in interceptions with 24. Defensive back Vonn Bell and Doran Grant lead the team in interceptions and Bell is second on the team in total tackles. However, this Ohio State defense hasn’t seen a passing game as multiple and dangerous as the Ducks’ this season.
Something will have to give.

Ohio State QB Cardale Jones says he can throw the ball '80-85 yards'
Now, following injuries to Braxton Miller and J.T. Barrett, Jones, a 6-foot-5, 250-pound redshirt sophomore, put his skills on display in wins over Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game and Alabama the College Football Playoff semifinal.
But just how far can Jones throw the ball?
Jones told USA Today that he can throw the ball 80-85 yards. If that’s not impressive enough, Jones’ teammate Evan Spencer offered this:
“You guys haven’t seen all of his power,” Spencer, a senior wide receiver, said. “I’ve seen Cardale on one knee throw the ball 65 yards. I was dumbfounded. You haven’t seen everything he’s got, trust me.”
Jones’ roommate, Tyvis Powell, witnessed that throw.
"Last year, a friend was doing a project where she wanted to study quarterbacks throwing the ball with someone hitting them," Powell said. "I pushed him while he was throwing. He was still throwing 60, 70 yards off a push. Then he got down on a knee and threw it. I was like, 'This is ridiculous.' "
Jones’ longest completion has been only 47 yards. If we’re lucky, we may get to see that arm strength on display in Monday’s College Football Playoff National Championship against Oregon.
