CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) — Jacquizz Rodgers is making a strong case to repeat as Pac-10 conference player of the year.

The 5-foot-7 running back was the first freshman to claim the honor when he won it last year.

As a sophomore, Quizz has rushed for 989 yards and 15 touchdowns, and caught 58 passes for 401 yards and another score. He has even thrown a TD pass.

Quizz, however, is getting strong competition for the award from Stanford's Toby Gerhart and Oregon freshman LaMichael James.
