Oregon Ducks running back wears gold watch during Alamo Bowl

Jan 1, 2014, 8:30 PM | Updated: 8:30 pm

What time is it?!

Oregon University’s athletics department is known for having pretty deep pockets, and sometimes the players even manifest that quality when they suit up for games.

Such was the case with Ducks running back De’Anthony Thomas, who wore a gold watch on his left arm Monday in the Valero Alamo Bowl against Texas.

The watch appeared to have a leather band, which is pretty durable, but the 5-foot-9 junior’s choice in accessories is head-scratching, albeit funny.

Thomas carried the ball three times for 13 yards and caught two passes for 24 yards as No. 10 Oregon rolled to a convincing 30-7 win over the Longhorns.
