ESPN's Graham Watson takes a look the two contenders for the starting quarterback job for Oregon now that Jeremiah Masoli is suspended. Nate Costa was the projected starter in 2008 before a knee injury sidelined him before the opener. And Darron Thomas is a high-profile recruit that showed flashes against Boise St. in 2008.
Thomas is a big athletic quarterback and the future of Duck football, and it is hard to imagine him not getting the nod. Especially considering Costa's injury history.
