Quarterback Dakota Prukop is new to Oregon and new to the Football Bowl Subdivision, but hes familiar with the Ducks opening opponent -- UC Davis.Prukop, when he was at Montana State, directed a 77-37 victory over the Aggies in 2014.Hell get another shot with No. 24 Oregon and its potent offense Saturday at Autzen Stadium (5 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Network).Prukop, who joined the team as a graduate transfer in the spring, won the starting job in fall camp.We are ready to go out and hit someone else, Prukop said. Im ready to take some hits and play some football again.Prukop, a dual-threat quarterback who had 7,347 yards of total offense in three seasons with the Bobcats, is the second consecutive one-and-done quarterback for the Ducks. He follows Vernon Adams Jr., a graduate transfer from Eastern Washington, who played well at quarterback last season when healthy.Prukop, a 2015 FCS All-American, will have many of Adams favorite targets back this season, including six of the teams top receivers, led by junior Darren Carrington, who averaged 87 receiving yards per game after returning from a six-game suspension.Dwayne Stanford caught 30 passes for 463 yards and five touchdowns. Charles Nelson, who split time at safety and receiver last year, is back on offense full time after catching 17 passes for 270 yards last season. Oregon also hopes for a return to form from tight end Pharaoh Brown, a first-team All-Pac-12 performer in 2014 who missed all of last season with a leg injury.Oregons always-strong ground game returns its top four rushers, led by Royce Freeman, an all-conference pick who ran for 1,836 yards and 17 touchdowns last season. He was the only FBS player to have at least 100 yards from scrimmage in every game last year.But the Ducks have questions, which is why they are not ranked as highly in the preseason as usual following their 9-4 season.Oregon has three true freshman starters on the offensive line, its backup quarterback is a true freshman (Justin Herbert), it has just one returning starter in the defensive front seven, and it lost potential starting cornerback Chris Seisay to transfer during camp.Were a long way from being any kind of defense, new defensive coordinator Brady Hoke said after Oregons final scrimmage of the fall.Coach Mark Helfrich brought in Hoke, the former Michigan head man, after Oregons defense allowed 37.5 points per game, ranking 115th out of 127 teams nationally. The Ducks will get to kick the tires on their new 4-3 scheme in the opener before the schedule gets harder -- vs. Virginia and then at Nebraska before conference play begins.UC Davis has gone 2-9 in each of the past two seasons and was picked to finish last in the 13-team Big Sky in a preseason coaches poll.Carrington might not play in the opener because of a minor shoulder injury suffered in camp. Wide receiver Devon Allen returned to the team following his fifth-place finish in the 110-meter hurdles at the Rio Olympics, but it was unclear if he would play in the opener.

MILWAUKEE -- Scooter Gennett got some good fortune on the go-ahead hit Tuesday night. And the way he figures it, the Milwaukee Brewers deserved it.Gennett and Jonathan Villar each hit a two-run single in a five-run eighth inning that sent Milwaukee to a 9-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks.With the score tied at 4, the Brewers batted around and broke the game open on three hits and four walks against Arizonas bullpen.Hernan Perez singled up the middle off reliever Daniel Hudson (1-2) to start the eighth, and Ryan Braun walked. With one out, Chris Carter walked to load the bases for Gennett, who blooped the tiebreaking single over second base.Its a crazy game, Gennett said. Sometimes you can do everything right and fail. Sometimes you can get jammed by 97 (mph) and everything works out. Its a crazy game and its about time that things start working in our favor, though.Second baseman Phil Gosselin made a diving attempt at the ball, but it just eluded his reach.For a while there, we couldnt catch a break, hitting balls hard right at people in big situations, Gennett said. And now, were getting those hits. Were finding holes. Its been fun, lately.The good times continued for Milwaukee, too.Zac Curtis came on and struck out pinch-hitter Andy Wilkins, but walked Keon Broxton and Kirk Nieuwenhuis to force in another run.The walks are tough to stomach, Diamondbacks manager Chip Hale said. Two-out walks come back to get you.And they did, when Villar followed with a two-run single that capped the rally.We did a nice job tonight with two outs just keeping the line moving, Brewers manager Craig Counsell said after his club won consecutive games for the first time since July 4-5.Milwaukee starter Matt Garza allowed five hits in six innings and left with a 4-3 lead, but Arizona tied it at 4 in the seventh. Michael Bourn singled on a bunt to reliever Will Smith and raced to second on the throwing error to first. Bourn went to third on a groundout before Paul Goldschmidt greeted Tyler Thornburg (4-4) with a run-scoring infield single.Garza hasnt won since beating Washington 6-5 on June 25, a span of five starts.Going into the 8th tied 4-4, I think we felt great about it, Hale said. We had a good part of the order coming up in the top of the ninth. We just need to get there.Milwaukee chased Patrick Corbin in the sixth and went ahead 4-3. Braun singled, extending his hitting streak to 11 games, and Jonathan Lucroy walked.dddddddddddd Enrique Burgos came on and got Carter to hit into a double play. Braun scored on Gennetts single off the glove of shortstop Jean Segura.With Corbin throwing so many pitches (40) in the first inning, he did an unbelievable job to get to the sixth, Hale said.Corbin hasnt won since June 21, a stretch of six starts.The Diamondbacks tied it at 3 in the fourth on Bourns fielders choice with the bases loaded.Carter, who got Monday night off to regroup after going 1 for 18, singled in the Brewers first run in the first inning. Jake Elmore added a two-run single.Segura doubled and scored on Goldschmidts single in the first. Welington Castillos ground-rule double drove in Goldschmidt.MILWAUKEE GOLDGoldschmidt is a .433 career hitter (45 for 104) with 13 doubles, eight homers, 24 RBI and 20 walks in 28 games against the Brewers.LAMB OUT OF LINEUPHale kept 3B Jake Lamb (sore left hand) out of the lineup and plans to use him sparingly over the next few days.TRAINERS ROOMDiamondbacks: RHP Zack Greinke threw 40 pitches in a bullpen session.
