No. 7 Oregon, Tennessee meet for 1st big test

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -Justin Wilcox had to stop and rewind the tape on Oregon running back LaMichael James a few times to make sure it was playing at regular speed.

The Tennessee defensive coordinator thought for a moment he was watching on fast-forward because James looked so fast and elusive.

After a one-game suspension for a misdemeanor harassment charge, James returns to the field on Saturday when he and seventh-ranked Oregon visit Tennessee for the first meeting of the two teams.

It's the first serious test for both squads after the Ducks dominated in a 72-0 win over New Mexico and the Volunteers cruised to a 50-0 victory over Tennessee-Martin in openers last week.

Wilcox spent the past four seasons at Boise State, where he was a part of two wins over Oregon.
