Outside of the generosity the writer gives to last year's offense, it is a pretty spot on relfection of what the guys in here have been posting in terms of expectations for the season.  Bottom line is that the team is built to win now and even the article suggests that a conference championship is what should be expected given the schedule in hand.

Every time I read one of these articles I email the author with one basic question and nobody has yet to reply to my question?!? Why? Because these writers trip over themselves writing "promo pieces" vs actually addressing reality.

In Oregon's case it is very simple...players responsible for 52 of the 56 TD's last season are no longer with the team....including the leading rusher, receiver and passer. Where do those TD's come from this year?

Oregon returns 2 RB's who scored TD"s...Cardwell(3) and McGee(1).

No Oregon receiver had more than 2 receiving TD's except Devon Williams(4) and he is no longer on the team.

And if you checked, Bo Nix wasn't exactly passing his way all over the SEC(11 TD passes in 10 games).

Dillingham's offense ranked in the bottom third of a pretty lousy ACC for 2 consecutive seasons.

But those facts are why you never read specifics as exactly who is going to score. Instead, it is much easier to write nonsense, like "Oregon's offense is ready to deliver and built to score often."


 

In college football, losing most of your production is quite common. If we don't have better QB play this year that will be sad. We have an experienced O line, a stable of talented recievers, and a solid RB room. As usual, we will have to see, but I'm confident we'll continue to score TDs with whoever we have out there: we allways do. I prefer the "glass half full" approach.
