I'm with you on everything but the last two. I'm going 3-1, and doubting maybe, but more and more Oregon was just a mess when the Utah games were being played last season that I take less from them now, and it's Utah at Autzen in a big game at the end of the season. Corso and The Duck will hug on GameDay and the Ducks will beat the Utes.

No doubt.

Great points. When Helton was at USC, we saw that Destination schools aren't coach proof, recruiting did go down at SC, especially from their own backyard. Also, is Cristobal's recruiting magic muted a bit when he's in an area now where more 4's and 5's are plentiful than when he was at Oregon? Smith at OS gets the "do more with less" tag. But would he get more and do more if he was at a bigger school?

I wait for it every week. Penn State is a big hold out, they look to have the same uniforms, they don't have names on the back either, that they had back in the 70's. There have been a few uniform combo's that didn't work, but overall, I've liked them. When I think of Marcus the first image, I get is the all yellow against Michigan State, LMJ I see in green. The softball team looks great when they wear yellow But it seems like traditional jersey colors have gone away where sports are concerned. You never know what color either team will be wearing now.

Agreed. He wasn't Jerry Jones, actually worked hard to avoid publicity, but his basketball knowledge was well known. Unfortunately, who was going to tell the owner to back off?

Voila!

I used to be a huge Blazers fan, but lately, like the past 25 years or so, I haven't really followed them. They do have a following, the Moda Center is often sold out for games, BlazersEdge is a popular site, and I see a lot of Trail Blazers license plates. What if the Trail Blazers are sold and become the new Seattle Super Sonics?

If they're incredible, get them some PT, but realistically your team is in better shape if the freshmen can wait. Which Oregon freshmen are most likely to play this fall? 247SPORTS.COM Here are my predictions for which members of Oregon's 2022 signees will play this fall and which will use redshirts.

I remember way back in the day that a Lincoln Continental Mark lV was the coolest car there was, and green doesn't often work on cars, but I think it does here:

The Ducks are involved in a bunch of them, including the most important. It would be good for the conference if Washington beat Michigan State, but I don't see it.

That opening was as bad as it could get. Who knew from that game that Oregon would be the team to unleash an offense that would revolutionize football, and that was against Boise State, not the defending champ at a "neutral field" I feel like the longer the game stays competitive the better Oregon looks, the worse Georgia looks. -15 Georgia is the line right now. Oregon is breaking in a new QB, a new HC, a new DC, a new OC. The players will be adjusting to new roles. Georgia is the team with the pressure on it.

There was a John David Booty that played at USC. He backed-up Leinart for 3 years and started in 2006.

None of them would fall in the Bold category, and at least a couple are underwhelming. Oregon Football: seven predictions for the 2022 Ducks SATURDAYOUTWEST.COM It’s talkin’ season, which means it’s time to make some predictions. We begin with Oregon.

As objectively as I can, I'll take the Ducks at 9.5. The Huskies have a very favorable schedule, so 7.5 isn't saying much about them. I'll take UCLA at 9, and they can keep USC under 9 with a win over them. With all that's going bad at ASU, I don't think they'll reach 6.

I'd have somebody else 10th in the Pac-12 and have Herm at the bottom. I guess Riley deserves the top spot. Chip was 46-7 at Oregon, but is 18-25, 64-32 overall. If this is just ranking by winning % it's kind of useless. Smith will probably always be the doing more with less at Oregon State, Wilcox seems content to do the same at Cal. Can't really see a justification for grading him as a head coach yet but would still have him above Herb.

A tour de force, Axel.

The good thing is that if Nix isn't hurt but either Thompson or Butterfield is the starter against Georgia means they must have had a great summer and fall camp!

Agree completely. The bright lights and hurrahs around USC and Riley are super annoying, but Narduzzi walked into it with the comments, they don't make him, or Pitt look any better. Lanning has played it cool so far, and Addison could end up in Alabama.

First game of the season, against the defending champs; their DC is now the head coach of the Ducks! How could I not want the Ducks win that game more than any game they've played before? So, right now I want the W over Georgia. But as the season moves on the Ducks need to build on that win. I want to take care of the Cougars in the Palouse, and then I want it to be 1990 again when BYU comes into Autzen! After that, I think UCKA will be pretty good next season, so I definitely want a W over them, take care of the annoying other games, and then welcome Utah, who absolutely left a bad taste in our mouths last season...and hope to see them again in the Championship game!

That is good stuff. I agree with his tiers, though not to the point that besides theoretically OSU, WSU or UCLA could win their divisions. Great take on Narduzzi.

Washington isn't confusing, they have a very favorable conference schedule but will still be battling Cal for 4th in the North, Cal won't have the best D in the conference, somebody on Talkin' Ducks said that would be the Ducks. I pick AZ to finish above ASU, who might not even finish the season. The 2022 Utes will be the best since 2008? That could be an overreaction, but not compared to USC being in the Playoffs. Though, would that be a bigger surprise than was Michigan last season?

A good question? First things first getting the W over the defending champ in game 1? But what about last season, it could be a double feature with the Utes again?

Right now, the QB situation is looking good. The experienced Nix is in front, secure in his position but mentoring the two younger QB's behind him. Butterfield has been the Third Man but could end up being the one pressing Nix for the starting spot as the season gets closer. Continuity between the QB and the rest of the team is important but so is getting the right guy, see Utah last season. How long do Lanning and Dillingham stick with the starter if the offense isn't going the way they want it to?
