EUGENE, Ore. (AP) Justin Herbert was named the starting quarterback for Oregon against Arizona on Saturday, returning after a five-game absence because of a broken collarbone.
Herbert was injured in Oregon’s 45-24 victory over California on Sept. 30. He left the game near the end of the first quarter after a 7-yard touchdown run.
He was replaced as starter by true freshman Braxton Burmeister. The Ducks went 1-4 over the course of Herbert’s absence.
Herbert has thrown for 1,264 yards and nine touchdowns with two interceptions this season. He’s also rushed for three scores.
Oregon was 5-5 overall and 2-5 in the Pac-12 going into the game against the Wildcats (7-3, 5-2).
