Oregon planning on employing tactics to prevent sign stealing (1:19)

Chantel Jennings breaks down the latest on the sign-stealing controversy going on in the Pac-12, with Oregon going as far as planning on taking measures to discourage it in their matchup against Arizona State this weekend. (1:19)

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich wouldn't specify what tactics the Ducks would use to keep the Arizona State Sun Devils from stealing signs on Saturday.

Last year the Ducks brought large white sheets to Arizona State and lined their sideline with them, hoping to obscure the view of the Sun Devils' play signalers. Helfrich wouldn't say if Oregon would be using those again this weekend.

"We'll hopefully have something as effective this year," he said.

This comes a week after Washington State coach Mike Leach accused ASU coach Todd Graham and his team of stealing signs.

"I think they still steal signs, and we'll have to keep an eye on that," Leach said. "That is a very unsavory practice they have, so we'll have to do what we can to defend against it."

Leach was reprimanded by the Pac-12 and fined $10,000 for his comments.

Following Washington State's 37-32 win over Arizona State, Graham confronted Leach about the accusations, saying what he did was "chickens---."
