“I was really proud of Cole Martin,” Oregon coach Dan Lanning said. “To go out there and perform the way he did — he’s a dynamic player. He’s a guy who is productive when he’s on the field. He shows up. He’s going to be around the ball. I think that’s something that’s hard to coach.”
The former 4-star signee was one of 13 Oregon true freshmen who saw the field in Tempe.
Here’s a rundown of which Ducks logged snaps in Week 12, based on the participation chart released by UO.
