Oregon, Utah won't reveal statuses of QBs Travis Wilson, Vernon Adams

Both Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich and Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham have yet to name a starting QB for Saturday's conference opener in Eugene.

Oregon QB Vernon Adams Jr. is dealing with a broken right index finger and was held out for last week's game against Georgia State. Utah QB Travis Wilson missed last week's game as well after suffering shoulder sprain in week two against Utah State.

Both Utah and Oregon took home victories without their starting QBs; however, both were available to play if needed in those games.

When asked about Adams' status, Helfrich said that Adams looks pretty much the same in practice as he did the week prior to sitting out.

"He looks very similar to last week, so how's that?" Helfrich said. "It's going to be similar to last week in it will be right up until the end of the week before we make that call."

For his part, Adams said that his finger is at "80 percent".
