The headline does not correspond with the content in the article and specifically to what Coach Leavitt has to say on the matter.

Headline: Lamar Winston planning to make his first start on defense for Oregon Ducks at Wyoming

Article: Leavitt said he’s not sure if Winston will open the game against the Cowboys. “We have different personnel groups so I don’t know if he’ll start or not, it depends on who goes out there,” he said.

From the article it appears the defense in an ongoing state of competition and we can expect, injuries aside, to see different people inserted as starters based on practice performances.

GO DUCKS!
