The Ducks were back on the practice fields Wednesday morning for their 17th day of fall camp. 

Ducks Digest photographer Scott Boldt was on the scene to capture the best photos of Oregon going through practice during the media viewing period. 

The Ducks are still holding numerous position battles, perhaps most notably at quarterback, running back and cornerback. Bo Nix emerged from spring as the favorite to win the job, but we continue to hear great things about Jay Butterfield and Ty Thompson as well. 

At running back, Byron Cardwell played the most snaps for Oregon a season ago but will now have to hold off transfers Noah Whittington and Mar'Keise Irving in addition to Sean Dollars, who has healed from an injury that forced him to miss all of last season.

For the cornerbacks, Christian Gonzalez looks like the solidified leader, but the coaching staff needs more players behind him to step up. This is where we turn our attention to Dontae Manning, Avante Dickerson, Jahlil Florence and Trikweze Bridges among others.

The Ducks are still focused on themselves, but multiple coaches and players have hinted that opponent-specific prep for Georgia should begin in the near future as the team prepares to travel to Atlanta next week.
