Oregon wide receiver Josh Huff talked after practice on Wednesday about UCLA’s “physical” defense, the health of his right ankle and how he came up with the nickname “2 Live Krew” for the Ducks’ receivers.

Impressions of UCLA

“UCLA, on defense, they’re very physical,” Huff said. “They have a lot of talented players on defense. They can be explosive on that side of the ball and they can make plays just by rushing the quarterback, putting pressure on the quarterback. They have some weaknesses in their secondary that I look for every week. I found some (weaknesses) myself, and I’m pretty sure the other receivers found some.”

“That’s what we expect,” Huff said, “but when you take out two people like that and you spring Thomas Tyner’s run, it’s something that sets a new standard for us receivers to always do that. Keanon, he’s the true ultimate team player that everyone would want on their team. I learned from him, he learned from me. That’s how it goes in the receivers room. We always look to see what we can do better and we learn from each other, from our mistakes and from our route-running and blocking.”

On the “2 Live Krew”, the self-proclaimed nickname of the Oregon receiving corps

“I thought about it right before fall camp,” Huff said. “I was watching ’30 for 30′ on Miami and 2 Live Crew came to their program and basically helped put them on the map. I also knew that 2 Live Crew took what they wanted, so I came up with the name ’2 Live Krew’ and decided that any time the ball’s in the air, we’re going to take what we want and take advantage of anybody or anything. So, that’s where the ’2 Live Krew’ came from.’”

“It feels great,” Huff said. “Almost (fully healed).”
