Oregon Ducks: Spring Game Rosters Released

The Oregon football coaches have had a good time setting the rosters for the spring game. After the third week of spring practice, Chip Kelly initiated the 2012 Spring Game Draft.

In the system, which he has been using for years, Kelly divides his coaching staff into two groups. These two sets of coaches then draft the players they want for their team in the spring game.

The head coaches for the game will be offensive coordinator Mark Helfrich and defensive coordinator Nick Allioti, while Kelly remains a "neutral overseer." 

As far as I can tell, these two teams look pretty even. With a quarterback battle still in the works, I am curious to see Marcus Mariota and Bryan Bennett lead their respective teams. It should also be exciting to get our first real look at some of the younger guys and see who comes out on top this Saturday. 

Without further ado, here are the rosters for the 2012 spring game.
