Oregon coach Mark Helfrich met with reporters on Tuesday for his weekly press conference following the Ducks 45-20 loss to USC at Memorial Coliseum on Saturday.

The Ducks (3-6, 1-5 Pac-12 Conference) are now preparing to play Stanford (6-3, 4-3 Pac-12 Conference) at Autzen Stadium on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 1:00 p.m.

Helfrich started his press conference with the announcement that defensive lineman Canton Kaumatule, a former five-star recruit, has accepted a medical hardship, ending his playing career at Oregon.

A medical hardship allows the sophomore from Honolulu to remain in school on scholarship, but it will not count toward the NCAA's 85-scholarship limit.

In the video above, Helfrich discusses Kaumatule's medical retirement.
