Kris Hutson
Freshman WR Kris Hutson had a tough stretch earlier in the season where he fumbled in back to back games, and also was subject of some national attention when an unsportsmanlike conduct call caused coach Mario Cristobal to lay into him on the sideline. He handled it very well, and looked into Cristobal’s eyes the entire time he was chewing him out, which drew a lot of praise on social media.
On Saturday, a big 18-yard reception came at a pivotal time for the Ducks, and his “look” with Cristobal on the sideline was certainly priceless.

Hutson doesn’t have a huge role in the offense, simply because very few receivers have a major role in the run-heavy scheme. However, he proved on Saturday that he can be reliable when called upon, which was not always the case earlier in the year.
