Christian French doesn't have much of a night life at the University of Oregon, not with football practice usually looming the next morning with the second-ranked Ducks.
"I try to get to sleep in the 9:30 range and get at least eight hours of sleep," he said.
Unlike most colleges, the Ducks practice in the morning at 9 or 9:30 for a few hours. Then comes lunch, afternoon classes, homework, night-time football meetings and back to sleep at 9:30.
"Sometimes you want to stay up or think 'I want to catch this on TV' or something like that," he said, "but then you realize, if you do that one day, you're going to feel it the next morning. We do get our rest."

So did the Cougars.
