From Obie to the Orange Bowl: Oregon line coach A’lique Terry is having a CFP homecoming

On New Year's Day, A'lique Terry, Oregon offensive line coach, leads the Ducks against Texas Tech in the Orange Bowl CFP quarterfinal at Hard Rock Stadium, a homecoming since he grew up in Hialeah and once worked as Obie the mascot.
Terry began his path when he played at Wake Forest, medically retired due to concussions, coached at Hawaii, had a brief Vikings stint, worked under Mario Cristobal with Alex Mirabal, then was hired by Dan Lanning at Oregon.
Statistically, both 12-1 Oregon Ducks and Texas Tech Red Raiders have top-10 offenses and defenses, with Oregon leading the nation at 91 explosive plays to Texas Tech's 90 and yards per game of 469 to 480.
A victory sends the Ducks to the Peach Bowl on Jan. 9, with the Orange Bowl winner advancing to the CFP semifinal to face Indiana or Alabama, while the national title returns to Hard Rock Stadium in about three weeks.
After arriving in South Florida, the Oregon Ducks practiced at 11 a.m. ET in about 68-degree weather with Dakorien Moore and Gary Bryant Jr. full participants while Evan Stewart remained listed out.
