The Oregon Ducks begin their 2011 football season on Sept. 3 in Arlington, Tx., against the LSU Tigers, but at some point head coach Chip Kelly will need to address the Willie Lyles scandal that has become the latest in a string of bad news in college football.
Oregon Football Stays Quiet About Willie Lyles Scandal
Neither Kelly nor the university has remarked on the situation, and the only acknowledgement from the school has come on a bland statement released on July 1.
