COLLEGE FOOTBALL DAILY REPORT / AROUND THE NATION : Ducks’ Feeley Gets Nod

Any quarterback controversy the Oregon Ducks may have had is a dead issue, thanks to A.J. Feeley’s record-setting performance in last week’s season-opening loss at Michigan State.

Feeley completed 27 of 49 passes for 343 yards, a touchdown and a late interception that all but sealed the Ducks’ 27-20 loss. Still, it was the most yards ever by an Oregon quarterback in his first start.

Feeley, a junior, had battled sophomore Joey Harrington for the chance to succeed Akili Smith.

South Carolina offensive coordinator Skip Holtz was released from the hospital after being treated for a severe abdominal infection.

The 35-year-old son of Gamecock Coach Lou Holtz responded to several days of intravenous antibiotics, school spokesman Kerry Tharp said. It was not clear if Skip Holtz would be available for Saturday’s Southeastern Conference game at Georgia.
