EUGENE, Ore. (AP) -Oregon running back LaMichael James says he’s learned the responsibility that comes with playing football.
James spoke Monday as the Ducks opened fall camp with high expectations tempered by offseason trouble. The rusher who set a Pac-10 freshman record last season pleaded guilty in February to misdemeanor harassment stemming from an altercation with a former girlfriend.
James, who admits his mistake, says he cannot measure the lessons he took from the experience. He says: “You have to fly straight and narrow – that’s just what you have to do.”
The Ducks’ offseason was marred by problems involving several players. Most notable among them were James and quarterback Jeremiah Masoli, who was dismissed from the team and is now a walk-on at Ole Miss.
