EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Stanford’s Andrew Luck and Oregon’s Darron Thomas are two very different quarterbacks, indeed two very different people, yet they share an enduring bond as high school competitors.
Both played prep football for opposing teams in Houston, where Luck went to school while his dad, Oliver Luck, played for the Oilers.
The two face off for the first time as college athletes on Saturday when the No. 4 Ducks host the No. 9 Cardinal in a game that Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh has called “monumental.”
While Stanford is fighting for national stature after several down years, Oregon is looking to prove it belongs among the elite after several oh-so-close seasons. Thomas and Luck will be at the center of the storm at Autzen Stadium.
