Another Oregon Duck Football Player Arrested

By my count this is either number five or six since the fall of 2009. Apparently the inmates are running the asylum in Eugene.

Mere hours after Oregon coach Chip Kelly answered questions about his team's slew of off-field troubles, Ducks linebacker Kiko Alonso was picked up for drunk driving.

"If a player doesn’t live up to the standards we have for the football program, then they’re not going to be here,'' Kelly said Friday. "But I’m also not going to follow our kids around every Friday or Saturday night so I can see what happened to them.''

Kelly almost made it through Friday night, but at 2:19 a.m. on Saturday morning, Alonso was stopped at the 7-Eleven on East Broadway in Eugene and cited for DUII.

Alonso, an athletic linebacker who will be a redshirt sophomore this fall, had 15 tackles in 11 games in 2009 and forced one fumble, playing primarily middle linebacker behind starter Casey Matthews. The 6-foot-4, 225-pounder from Los Gatos, Calif., is also a regular special teams player for the Ducks.
