It must be fun to write articles void of common sense and reality. Yes anything is possible but looking at just the offensive numbers this amateur writer projects(forget defense, W-L record, etc)

Last season Oregon scored 398 points in the 12 game regular season.

This article the totals are 438 points in the 12-game regular season.

Note: that is only 2 points fewer than Oregon scored in 14 games last year!

Last year Oregon scored over 50 points in a game one time; this article has them doing so 3 times.

Sooooooo...

Oregon scored 57 TDs on offense last season. Of that number the people responsible for 52 TDs are no longer on the team(Brown, Dye, Verdell) as well as the leading receiver in TD catches, Williams.

With its 4th starting QB in as many seasons and all its firepower from the past few seasons no longer on the team(Add Redd and J. Johnson to the names above); a first-year/time head coach; a 31-year old OC who directed an offense ranked in the bottom half of the ACC for the past 2 seasons and an RB coach who was a weight room monitor a couple of years ago...I guess this writer is simultaneously predicting almost every Pac-12 defense will be a disaster?

Unless there are any other head coaching changes prior to the start of the season, I give Oregon, USC and uw an advantage to start the season as in no game film under new head coaches. But by the time the conference games begin; it will be a different story.

It is nice to be optimistic but every season one factor is...where do the statistical losses from last season come from this season?

Your mistake is in applying logical analysis to something someone pulled out of a hat.
