gonna miss those 4 senior O-linemen from last season, esp Jake H, who called out the blocking assignments and adjusted to the D formations for the last few years.
I remember in 2018 when Jake got suspended for helmet-to-helmet in Q4 of the UCLA game, and had to sit out first half of Ducks game v Utah on the road. Throcks took over at C, and Ducks managed <150 yds and scored 7 points in the first half.
I think this new crop of O-linemen is more talented; there are some future NFL bruisers in that group, and not just Penei. it's just a matter of how they gel and get some cohesion. and of course no injuries.
a healthy UO team wins the P-12 North, esp w Tree and UW coming to Autzen. SC has the horses, like always, and should run away w the P-12 South if Slovis stays healthy this year; one mag has him as a 'Heisman darkhorse'.
no Rose Bowl for P-12 champs this year, it's a playoff game. that would be a nice goal.
