I'm expecting more consistency from the OL this season. While I understand Alex Mirabal's focus on developing versatility by moving the guys around, it caused a lot of consistency issues in the first half of last season. Keeping guys in their respective positions helps build chemistry faster and maintained at a high level.

I hope this is the year Isaiah Crocker breaks out. He's been patiently waiting and you could tell last season that he puts everything into it on the field when he gets on there.

I beg to differ. At this point that would improve their brand lol

I remember that game well. The arrogance of USC thinking it would be a good idea to get into a footrace with UO's offense...

I like this kid, talented and already at college-ready size!

I don't think there's a choice in the matter. GK needs to expand the Pac12 or risk having it die a slow death over the next 5-10 years. He needs to match the aggression of the other conference commissioners.

It is probably reflective of Lincoln Riley as well. He did well against most teams...until he ran into really good defenses like Baylor. That's why it's not a good thing for LR to move to the B10, he's going to face far more talented defenses far more often than in the Pac12.

No they aren't. However all QBs will throw an INT every now and then, they'll make mistakes. Doesn't take away from the fact that Mario's offense severely restricted what Herbert could do on the field, even causing him to regress in development. That's completely on Mario.

Congrats to Dante, his recent performances certainly warrant all those accolades! I'm very excited about him, he seems to be as polished as a high school QB could be.

We don’t necessarily need him to have any kind of blow out season, just improve enough to be above average. That in itself will provide enough offensive boost to provide a successful season.

Love it, we need more blue chippers on the DL. He's only 265 lbs right now but at 6'5" he has plenty of room to add 30 lbs to his frame and become a monster. Welcome to Oregon young man!

A 6'5" guy who can run a 4.54? Yes please!

I'd take that any day of the week.

It's unlikely but what would be hilarious is if UCLA were forced to stay, leaving USC on a literal island and the B10 getting only part of the LA market they covet so.

I certainly hope so. But when a truckload of money is likely involved, all bets are off.

GK should move the format back to division winners going to the Pac12 championship game. The removal of that was mainly to benefit whiny USC.

Could explain why Samu Taumanupepe pushed his commitment date.

This makes me nervous as well. But as long as we have Dante Moore and what is presumably a more explosive passing offense this upcoming season then Jurrion should be sticking around.

I really hope he stays healthy for this last year. He's got Jacob Breeland type of receiving potential.

My family got hit with it over the last couple weeks. Symptoms aren't too bad but this latest variant sticks with you longer than the previous ones did so you have to isolate even more. My 3 year old got it first nearly 2 weeks ago and finally had a negative test yesterday, my wife caught it from him just a couple days after and is still positive as of yesterday. I got it from one of them this past weekend so I'm expecting it to take at least to next week before it clears up for the entire family. Ugh!

Exactly. At least if USC stayed in the Pac-12 LR would only have to worry about Oregon and Utah...in the B10 it's going to be way harder.

LR is a brilliant offensive-minded coach. The problem is that when he runs into an equally brilliant *defensive*-minded coach, he comes up short. It's why Baylor's Dave Aranda has been Riley's kryptonite recently. It's only going to get worse for him as he goes up against higher quality defenses in the B10.

Jealousy breeds ignorance. USC fans know the condoms football program has been at best mediocre for the better part of 20 years now. In that time Oregon has risen, become the Pac12 standard, and eaten USC's lunch every year. Instead of admitting it, Trojans ignore facts and buy into inflated hype every dang year. It's a vicious but very silly cycle for them.

Probably to prevent competing programs from having him.
